Wednesday 28th June
Mearns beat Arbroath HS 7-2 in the Angus Soccer One League. Arbroath HS needed to win their last league game in order to draw level with Webster's and force a play-off. An early goal for the visitors kept the dream alive but Mearns gave warning by hitting the post. Mearns drew level and then went 2-1 up from a free kick into the top corner. An Arbroath HS corner could have brought an equaliser but instead Mearns broke quickly from the corner and shot from the right wing low into the far corner of the net for 3-1 Mearns were on fire right after halftime with a lob over the keeper in 2 minutes and a header from a corner in 4 minutes to put the Laurencekirk boys 5-1 ahead. A contender for goal of the season came in the 10th minute of the half when Mearns striker Harry Woods chased the ball along with a defender to the bye-line - just when it looked like the pace of the ball would make it run out of play, Harry Woods kept the ball in and fooled the defender (as well as spectators) with a brilliant piece of skill, turned and smashed the ball from an extremely tight angle past the AHS keeper into the net, 6-1, superb play! Arbroath HS fought back and scored from distance to make it 6-2 but a trip in the box gave Mearns a penalty and the spot-kick was scored for 7-2. And so the season came to an end, and with this result Webster's win the league. Photos to come.

Baldragon beat Grove 3-1 to win the Arab Trust U15 Champions League. In the last game of the group Grove needed a win to force a play-off with Harris while a win for Baldragon would give them the title. A hard-fought encounter at DISC saw Baldragon take the lead in the 4th minute with a great finish from Nairn Bonnar. Grove had a good shout for a penalty turned down and also hit the bar with a free kick but at halftime it was 1-0 for Baldragon. With no quarter given or asked the game continued to be hotly contested in the second half. In the 54th minute Nairn Bonnar broke down the left and thumped a shot past the keeper into the net for 2-0. Grove were awarded a soft free kick in the 62nd minute but made the most of it to score direct and it was game on, 2-1. Baldragon hit a shot from distance which the Grove keeper did brilliantly to leap to his right and tip the ball away. With time almost up a Baldragon corner on the right was met inside the 6-yard box by a Grove defender who could only steer the ball into the net for an own goal, 3-1. So the season in Dundee came to an end with Baldragon lifting the Arab Trust U15 Shield. Baldragon went through the league season undefeated to win the U15 League for the first time ever, not bad for a team who had to play all their games away from home because of building works!

Friday 23rd June
Webster's beat Carnoustie 8-1 in the Angus Soccer One League. In the earliest kick-off of the season (around 9.50) Webster's scored early and by halftime they were 5-0 ahead. Carnoustie pulled one back in the second half from the spot following a handball but Webster's add three more. Depending on the result of Wednesday's game between Mearns and Arbroath HS the win could give Webster's the title or at least a play-off place.

Grove beat St.John's 6-0 in the U16 Robert Caira Memorial Trophy Final at Station Park, Forfar. Fraser McLeod (Grove) won the DFCSS Man of the Match Trophy presented by Carol Findlay of DFCSS. After an even start Grove got into their stride and scored twice before a foul in the box which gave them the chance for a third from the penalty spot. A great turn and shot from the edge of the box gave Grove a 4-0 lead at halftime. St.John's made a good game of it in the second half and for 25 minutes after the break the defences were on top but Grove scored a couple of goals in the last ten minutes to finish with 6.

St.John's beat Grove 4-0 in the Arab Trust DSA Senior Champions League decider. On a sunny evening at Station Park, Forfar, St.John's started strongly with Nathan Scott scoring the first with a run down the right and a low finish (7m). Craig Kemlo outpaced the defence and beat the keeper on the 6 yard line five minutes later for the second (12m). Grove conceded a free kick 20 yards out on the left and Kieran Conway got a touch at the far post for 3-0, (25m). Grove fought back well in the second half and kept the St.John's defence under pressure for the first 15 minutes but keeper Michael Ellwood continued his good form with some fine saves and looked determined to keep a clean sheet. St.John's got their fourth with just three minutes left when Ross Graham headed in a corner on the left to finish the scoring and wrap up the double, 4-0 (87m). Photos to come.

St.Andrew's beat Downfield 7-4 in the Cameron Cup Final. Aiden McDougall (St.Andrew's) won the Stephen Gowans Man of the Match Trophy presented by Stephen's sister Jennifer. In a rip-roaring first half Downfield took an early lead but St.Andrew's were soon back in the match and scored four to go 4-1 up. Downfield fought back and scored twice in quick succession so at halftime St.Andrew's led 4-3. In the second half St.Andrew's scored twice to go 6-3 ahead but Downfield were not giving up and netted a 4th. St.Andrew's finished the goalfest to make the final score 7-4 and add the Cameron Cup to the Rock Cup they won on Monday. Photos to come.
Barnhill beat St.Joseph's 3-0 in the Junior Sports Cup Final. Lucas McKimmie (Barnhill) won the Bill Ferrier Man of the Match Trophy. Both Barnhill and St.Joseph's had been in action on Wednesday winning the Burgess and Linton Cups respectively and for St.Joseph's it was their third final of the week so perhaps they were not quite as sharp as Barnhill on the night. Midway through the first half Barnhill scored the opener and a second goal a minute from halftime gave Barnhill the upper hand. The second half had barely started when Barnhill netted a third. St.Joseph's tried hard to get back into the game but Barnhill were calm in defence and made life difficult for the St.Joseph's attack. Barnhill remained unbeaten for the second year in a row and won the treble again. This brought to an end a great week of Primary Finals at Elliot Road and the weather every night was good which made it great for the spectators who turned out in good numbers to enjoy the football served up.

Forfar beat Montrose 5-4 in the Angus Soccer One League. In the last league game for both teams Forfar came from two goals down to win.
Grove beat Monifieth 2-0 in the Arab Trust U15 Champions League. A big crowd gathered on the touchline at Monifieth for the lunchtime kick-off (though they did have to drift back into school after the first twenty minutes when the afternoon bell sounded). The game started with a quick shower of rain (ironic after last week's postponement) and a blast of wind but the weather soon settled and the fans were treated to a good even game. There were no goals until the half-hour when a Louis Porter free kick for Grove was not gathered properly and the ball squirmed out of the keeper's hands into the net. Monifieth had a chance to level in the second half but ten minutes from the end Josh Mulligan scored a second for Grove when he took a Greg Breen pass and slipped it past the keeper into the bottom corner. Monifieth have now completed their CL games and it is now over to Grove, Harris and Baldragon to decide the championship, although Monifieth won both the Angus Cup and the Senior Sports Cup (sponsored by DFCSS).

St.Joseph's beat Ancrum Road 1-0 in the Linton Cup Final. Cody Holt (St.Joseph's) won the Ross Kirk Man of the Match Trophy. There was nothing between the teams in a good competitive final at Elliot Road and at halftime it was 0-0. It looked like one goal would win it and four minutes after the break St.Joseph's scored a goal with a superb strike from the halfway lline which beat the Ancrum Road keeper all ends up. There was plenty of time left either for Ancrum Road to equalise or for St.Joseph's to move further ahead in an end-to-end game. Ancrum Road came closest, hitting the bar late in the game. St.Joseph's regained the trophy they lost to Ancrum Road last season in a great start to the three-game night - an enthralling encounter which kept the fans on tenterhooks till the final whistle, with a quality goal fit to win any final. Photos to come.
Fintry beat Craigiebarns 5-0 in the Thomson Cup Final. Fintry were on top form in all departments, to the point where the first-half goalkeeper came back on as a second-half outfield sub and scored four goals. Craigiebarns came extremely close to grabbing a couple of goals, particularly near the end - they certainly did not let anybody down as they turned in a good performance but Fintry were in a class of their own as they went on to retain the trophy.

Barnhill beat Forthill 3-0 in the Burgess Cup Final. In the last of the evening's three finals at Elliot Road it was Barnhill going down the hill who took the lead in the 9th minute and added a second four minutes later. Barnhill went 3 up just before halftime and then defended well against Forthill in the second half, denying them any chance of pulling back a consolation effort. Barnhill held on to the Burgess Cup for the fourth year in a row. Again we had two good teams playing to their best on a lovely summer evening and a great night to showcase the talent of the Primary Leagues. Photos to come.

A week after a 6-0 defeat in the league Grove turned on the style in the first half at Whitton Park and scored twice through good strikes from Leon Winterton and hit the frame of the goal on at least 5 occasions. The Harris keeper did his best to make sure that Grove were not allowed a bigger lead with some great saves. Harris came back with some pressure towards the end of the first half but could not break through - instead Grove added a third in the second half through Owen Boath. Harris did at least pick up the DSA U13 League Shield and their league medals at the end, before Grove received their winners medals and the Logie Cup, sponsored by DFCSS.
St.John's beat Grove 3-0 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in the U17 George Grant Memorial Trophy Final (sponsored by DFCSS) at Whitton Park.

A header from Ethan Bannon at the far post gave St.John's hope with a few minutes left. An injury-time equaliser from Ethan Bannon again put the game into a penalty shoot-out. Grove had their first kick saved and St.John's scored theirs. And so it continued - Grove could not find the target with any of their first three, St.John's scored all three so the penalty shoot-out was over in the quickest time possible.
Lennon Mitchell (St.John's) received the DFCSS Man of the Match Trophy from Dave Forbes who then presented the medals to the teams as the sun went down.

Barnhill cruised out of sight of their opponents in the second half though and can look forward to another visit to the Junior Sports Cup Final. Photos to come.

St.Joseph's beat Camperdown 6-1 in the Linton Cup Semifinal. Camperdown led for most of the first half but St.Joseph's who had had an earlier chance tipped onto the bar equalised right on halftime. Camperdown hit the post early in the second half but St.Joseph's struck the target next to go 2-1 up. Two goals in a couple of minutes tipped the balance in favour of St.Joseph's who added another two in two minutes late in the game. St.Joseph's reached their second final in what was a fairly even game despite the 5-goal margin - they will need to wait till next Friday to see whether they face Ancrum Road or St.Mary's in the final.

St.John's beat Grove 5-0 in the DSA U14 Champions League. St.John's needed to avoid defeat in their last game to win the league. An early Jaden Ferguson header from the edge of the box over the onrushing keeper gave St.John's the lead and they were two up at the interval. Grove made a good game of it but St.John's were on top form, showing the quality which saw them reach the Shield Semifinal. Jaden Ferguson was hard to stop up front and scored all five goals including a penalty. St.John's wrap up the season with the league and cup double.
