It was a sunny scene at Ian Mair for the Presidents Cup final and an exciting cup final was on the cards between FDS and Westdyke. Both sides have had good campaigns despite not being in real contention to win the league. Westdyke in particular did very well to get here beating Banks O’Dee and Lewis United in the process.

Westdyke had the first opportunity in what was going to be an action packed cup final courtesy of forward Max McGinlay which forced a goal line clearance from Lewis Robertson. Euan Walker then tested the FDS rear guard with an effort from just inside the box which was denied by Callum Hall.

The deadlock was broken after 13 minutes after a great through ball from Nathan Rankine found McGinlay, who then made no mistake after crashing the ball home past Hall to give Dave McGinlays side the dream start.

Westdyke forced the game upon FDS early in the game and their pace & pressure was getting too much for the Aberdeen side at times.

FDS started to get into the game slightly after the goal though and they needed something spectacular to get themselves into the game and Marc Mowat couldn’t have picked a better stage to score a free kick than a cup final. His free kick 30 yards from goal went over the wall and into the top left hand corner past Ross Mowatt.

Simon Robertson's side got their equaliser and they nearly got themselves into the lead after a header from Robbie Paul went goalwards however there was an opposition player on the line to thwart his efforts.

There was nothing to separate the teams going into half time. 

Euan Walker drove the Westdyke team on in the 2^nd half and should have got found himself on the scoresheet.

A great move from the Aberdeenshire outfit found the captain, however his close range effort was denied by Hall.

Westdyke were the better team, however just couldn’t get on the scoresheet with Hall producing a number of point blank saves.

FDS then took the lead for the 1^st time in the game after a free kick from Ian Leslie evaded everyone and past it’s way past Mowatt in the Westdyke goal.

The big goalkeeper was slightly off his line however a good strike none the less. FDS then kept up the pressure and Stewart Gerrie had an effort which just flashed wide.

Westdyke then got an equaliser with the clock ticking down after a great effort was only parried by Hall and Jack Hamilton was on the spot to put the ball into an empty net.

Tough on FDS considering the goal came in added time and put in a lot of effort during the 2^nd half, however, well deserved from a Westdyke perspective for all the pressure.
