Thursday 20th June
Craigowl visited North East Campus for an entertaining friendly against St.Francis to bring the season to a close.
Rowantree v. Glebelands in DSA Arab Trust Section A was off.
St.John's beat Grove 7-0 in the Arab Trust U16 Champions League. Grove got off to the worst possible start, conceding a penalty in the first minute. St.John's moved quickly into a 3-goal lead, added a lovely 4th goal with a long-range shot in off the far post and led 6-0 at the interval. Grove had several chances on the break into the strong wind but the best they did was hit the post. The wind died down in the second half and an entertaining half of football ensued with no further goals until near the end when St.John's closed the game out with a 7th before receiving the league shield.

Mill of Mains v. Glebelands in DSA Arab Trust Section A was off.
Friday 14th June
Craigiebarns beat Forthill 2-1 in the Junior Sports Cup Final. In an excellent game in front of a good crowd on the first sunny night for over a week Craigiebarns took the lead right on halftime but a Michael Hunter header levelled at the start of the second half. Craigiebarns regained the lead when a shot looked to be cleared off the line at the top end but it was adjudged to have crossed the line. There was plenty of time left for chances for both sides and Forthill smashed a header inches past the post late in the game to the gasps of the crowd. But Craigiebarns who last won the Junior Sports Cup 1-0 also over Forthill back in 2011 were able to repeat their feat of keeping a goal ahead and do the triple of Junior Sports Cup, Thomson Cup and Section C (even though the triple share of the league complicates matters this season). Michael Hunter of Forthill won the Bill Ferrier Man of the Match Trophy.
St.Joseph's beat St.Francis 7-2 in the Fairtrade Football Rock Cup Final (sponsored by Walker the Jeweller), courtesy of DCSFA, in the last of the week's finals at Elliot Road. St.Joseph's scored early and hit some sweet goals but St.Francis entertained the crowd as well with a get-on-with-it attitude and scored a couple of good goals. But two cup wins in a week for St.Joseph's is a fair return.
Thanks to all spectators who came along on any of the nights to enjoy the football and cheer on their players, and thanks to League sponsors DSA and Arab Trust for showing their interest in how our cups play out. At least the Friday games proved to be a sunny ending to the week after some dull and cold days earlier. Apologies to any local residents who were inconvenienced on the nights.
