A rash Harris challenge just inside the box fairly early in the second half gave Grange the chance to equalise from the penalty spot and a good kick made it 1-1. Three goals in three minutes midway through the half decided the game. First of all Harris broke down the left and fired past the keeper for 2-1. A minute later Grange levelled again from a nearpost finish after a corner for 2-2 but within a minute Harris regained the lead when the Grange keeper could only parry a firm shot out to his left for Harris to thump the ball into the roof of the net. Plenty of chances for both teams in the remaining 20 minutes but Harris held on to reach the last 8.

In the second half St.John's had the storm winds behind them which made it difficult for the visitors from Edinburgh to make much impact. St.John's benefited from one case of defensive uncertainty late in the game to add to their score but otherwise they scored good goals. Firrhill finally grabbed a well earned consolation goal with the last kick of the game to a big cheer from the supporters.

Boclair Ac. beat Monifieth 3-0 in the U16 Shield 5th Round. The end of the road for Monifieth as Boclair scored three without reply. The first half was even with chances for both teams but it was Boclair who cashed in when the Monifieth defence backed off the dangerous no.11 who used the space to fire home after half an hour. The tremendous noise made by a full sideline of Monifieth pupils enjoying their lunch break suddenly faded away. The roars returned as the second half started but, once the afternoon bell sounded, the seagulls took over and Boclair helped themselves to another couple of goals. The last 15 minutes were all Monifieth pressure but time and again they were denied by the superb Boclair keeper who was the best man on the park. The December game against Grange Ac. when the winners of last season's U15 Shield were knocked out on penalties will live long in the memory but Boclair brought the dream to an end. The chance of a Monifieth v. St.John's U16 Shield Final is now gone and we wonder if Boclair might meet St.John's in the final. Time will tell.
Banff Ac. beat St.Paul's 7-0 in the Senior Girls Shield 3rd Round. Banff started strongly hitting the bar and post with firm shots with the rebounds being knocked high or wide or falling into the hands of the keeper. Banff opened the scoring in 6 minutes and were gifted a chance for the 2nd from the penalty spot, following a defensive communication problem. Banff scored the 3rd soon after halftime and added a 4th on the hour mark to seal the win. St.Paul's had some chances going just wide in their attempts to get a consolation goal and never gave up but Banff finished the game with three quick goals just before the final whistle. Well done to Banff Ac. who played well and it will be interesting to follow their progress in the rest of the competition.
