TEAM- Kenny Jamie Colin Bruce Rhurriu Lewis Ross jack Daniel Taylor brad

SUBS-Mickey Bradley (Jordan- Ryan cup tied)

Seems a long time since we played Spartans fc whites at the start of the season to kick this run to the semi final, could we make the final.

Today seen us at saughton and facing stiff opposition in Tynecastle, s top team.

Having met each other twice already this season and hutchie coming out on top on both occasions confidence was running high.

Hutchie won the toss and kicked the game off and proceeded to take the game straight to Tynecastle and within 5 minutes good play through the middle seen Taylor play a defence splitting pass to brad who coolly rounded the goalkeeper and slotted the ball home 1 – 0

A great start to the semi final and hutchie up for this now looked for more and pressed on

Chances started to flow early on and a great pass from jack Mac seen Ross pick the ball out wide on the edge of the box and drive it back in the tynie defence tried to clear but Taylor robbed the defender on the 18yrd line dribble in and beat the keeper only to see his shot hit the post of the empty net.

This seem to spur on tynie who tried to get back in to the game and pressed hard but the hutchie defence held firm

Tynecastle won a corner and it was driven in to the box and the tynie player got a free header but cleared the bar

Tynecastle took advantage from some slack play in the defence and broke quickly only to send the shot sailing over the bar.

This seemed to wake the colts back up and the game started to grind up in the midfield as both teams tried to control the game however it was the colts that made better use of the ball and this produced some nervous shooting but no goals

Tynie got a quick break and only the quick work of our stand in keeper Kenny Gibson seen the colts still in front

Hutchie got a free kick just over the half way line and a perfectly floated cross from Jamie T seen Taylor send the ball into the net with a terrific header 2-0

Second half started with both teams trying to control the midfield with out producing any real threat to either goal but eventually it was hutchie who started to play the better football.

A good cross from Taylor seen brad in the clear but the header went well wide

This seen hutchie start to exploit all the space in the midfield and soon Jamie sent in a terrific shot that looked goal bound but just dipped over the bar

With this hutchie stepped up a gear and only some good goalkeeping and some bad shooting seen the score stay the same.

Hutchie were now in control and started to play a nice passing game which seen Taylor through on the goalkeeper but a last gasp tackle from the Tynecastle defender which could have easily been deemed a penalty kept seen the ball break to Mickey who shot wide

With all the chances that were being missed you could have thought the scoring was over

But a good corner whipped in by jack seen Taylor head the ball on and Bradley rixon found himself time to shoot but the keeper could only parry the ball out and Bradley made sure by blasting the loose ball high in to the net 3-0

Tynecastle tried to rally late on with a strike from distance but a good save from Kenny seen him turn the ball round the post and the defence who where solid all day cleared the danger from the resulting corner

An excellent result seen hutchie colts book there place in there first final.

WELL DONE LADS
