Grove beat Arbroath HS 8-5 in the U13 Shield 4th Round and now play Holyrood Sec. at home.

After the interval Grove grabbed two quick goals to level at 4-4 and went from strength to strength to lead 8-4 before Arbroath High pulled back a consolation 5th goal in the last minute. After yesterday's downpour it was good to see a nice sunny day.

Monifieth beat Grange Ac. 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the U16 Shield 4th Round and now play Park Mains HS or Boclair Ac. at home. An exciting game at Monifieth where the home team put out last season's U15 Shield winners. The Kilmarnock team took the lead in 5 minutes from a 25-yard free kick which foxed the keeper. Monifieth were behind for about 10 minutes before taking advantage of a defensive slip to equalise. The lunchtime crowd enjoyed the first half which ended 1-1.
With second-half chances being well defended or passed up, inevitably it came down to penalties. Monifieth's first kick was saved as was Grange's second kick, so after the first 8 penalties it was 3-3. Grange then hit their 5th kick wide of the post, Monifieth blasted home the last kick to win and it seemed like half the school raced over the pitch to the big huddle in celebration. To their credit, having given and taken some good-natured banter with the Monifieth crowd, the Grange players were quick to go forward, when the huddle subsided, to shake hands and congratulate Monifieth on their win.
