Hot on the heels of their 3–0 league victory there was an air of expectation about the cup match against a young and talented side from the West.

A lively start from the visitors put the Grange defence under pressure, but they stood resolute and Batchelor mopped up anything which leaked through the defence.

The opening goal came from an interception by Louis Gallacher who fed Chris Sole who then covered a lot of ground before slipping the ball to Monty who then slotted it home to break the deadlock. 1–0 at half time and looking good.

The lack of numbers in the squad saw a pretty tired side take to the field for the second half, but hard work and determination saw them through, scoring another three goals without reply.

The first was a well worked move with passes from McNally, to Sole then on to Browne who slotted the ball past the stranded keeper. The second was a classic Bunker strike from a corner, with the last an own goal (with an assist by Monty) to secured the victory.

A great team performance but the highlight was the youthful left side of the pitch where Cammie, Rory and Andrew/Angus relished the opportunity to create some wonderful combinations down the wing. Who says the reverse side is supposed to be the weak part of your game?

It’s been a good weekend for the 6s. Lots of hard work and a growing confidence in their own ability has given them a much better platform from which to build for the rest of the season.
