[Sat 30th May] A' vs Grads Red (Cup)

Scotch A’s 4 – 0 Grads Red A Goals: Chris, Matty L, Andy T, Gammy A replay of last years cup quarter final saw us up a against a very different looking Grads Red side. Due to an initial no-show, the game was started with a Grads Red referee, only to have the official referee show up several minutes into the game. Play continued and Grads Red looked good from the start, playing the ball well through the centre of the midfield. A couple of half chances went begging at either end until a free kick from Dain found Matty L on the left wing. Matty crossed the ball in low and the keeper fumbled into the path of a grateful Chris, who poked the ball home. From that point on, the Grads boys dropped their heads and the balance of play shifted to the Scotchies. Toby entered the game for an injured Dain and had an immediate impact in helping to control the midfield. A great through ball from Dunsy and a good switch of play saw Matty L and Andy T both get their names on the scoresheet with clinical finishes. Gammy was introduced for the final few minutes and also grabbed himself a goal with a well placed header off a perfect cross. 4-0 at the close, a result that closely mirrored last years 4-1 thrashing. Good to see the Grads boys have lost none of their charm, with their tubby elbow throwing midfielder no exception. Best: 3 Dunsy, 2 Matty L, 1 Toby
