Men's 1's progress in Scottish Cup
Bromac Kelburne. 5
Inverleith. 0
Following on from their 21-0 victory over Carnegie, Kelburne hosted Inverleith in the Scottish cup. Having beaten the Edinburgh side the previous week in the league confidence was high amongst the Kelburne squad. This confidence was evident from the outset as elburne dominated possession with some very neat intricate play and pressed Inverleith high up the pitch. this dominant play eventually paid off as kelburne grabbed their first goal after Dougie Simpson beat the Inverleith defender on the baseline before cutting it back to Lee Morton who reversed the ball under the keepers arm.
Kelburne continued to press a shaky Inverleith defence and their hard work eventually paid off when veteran Jonny Christie scored a sublime goal. having won the ball, Christie drove the baseline looking for a pass, however with nothing on he decided to have a go from what seemed like an impossible angle and the ball flew into the top corner much to the delight of coach mark ralph.
With half time approaching, Kelburne extended their lead to three thanks to a goal from Michael Christie. After a neatly worked attack down the left hand side, captain Jonny Christie delivered a ball into the D which was missed by the Inverleith defenders and Michael Christie capitalized by sliding in at the backpost to tap the ball into the goal.
Half time Kelburne 3 - 0 Inverleith
The second half started the same as the first with Kelburne dominating possession and pressing high. Inverleith were unable to cope and struggled to muster up any sort of attack. despite all this pressure, Kelburne squandered chance after chance, guilty of trying to be too intricate. However they did managed to grab their fourth. After some great individual work from jack McKenzie, he found a foot in the D which resulted in a short corner which was dispatched into the bottom corner by Douggie Simpson.
With the game coming to a close there was still time for Kelburne to grab their 5th and final goal. after a nice counter attack the ball came to Jonny Christie whose shot was saved but rebounded straight to Lee Morton who hit the ball first time into the bottom corner for his second of the game.
Final score Kelburne 5 - 0 Inverleith
Kelburne progress to the next round of the Scottish cup after a comfortable win over Inverleith. Kelburne will now have to wait to see who they have drawn in the next round
