Baldragon beat Queen Anne HS 4-3 in the U14 Shield 3rd Round. Baldragon led 4-1 just before halftime then the Dunfermline team scored but they missed a penalty at 4-2.

St.John's beat Grove 4-0 in the U15 Shield 3rd Round. The first half was very even but St.John's scored just before the break. St.John's scored again but Grove had some good chances to fight back but lacked the finishing touch. St.John's scored for 0-3 near the end to finish the game off and soon added a 4th from the penalty spot. The game was closer than the 4-0 scoreline might suggest but St.John's finished their chances while Grove just fired high or wide. St.John's will find out their 4th Round opponents next week.

Dundee beat Aberdeenshire 6-1 in the U15 National Trophy at Inverurie. Dundee needed a win at the Garioch Centre and played very well against Aberdeenshire. Dundee took the lead in the 14th minute when a through ball reached Ben Christie on the edge of the box on the right - his left-foot shot curled past the keeper into the far side of the net. With 24 minutes gone Tiyler Low took the ball 30 yards out in the centre of the park, moved forward a few yards and rifled a right-foot shot past the keeper to put Dundee 2 up. Soon after Aberdeenshire thought they had pulled a goal back but the referee had spotted some infringement. In 36 minutes Brayden Bruce sent Tiyler Low clear and he raced away to shoot home from the edge of the box for his second goal as Dundee now led 0-3. As halftime approached there was just time for Daniel Johnston to take the ball from the centre of the D out left, outpacing two defenders and turn to hit a magnificent left-footer across the keeper into the far side of the net - a superb strike. Halftime Aberdeenshire 0 Dundee 4.
Ten minutes into the second half the impressive Josh Mitchell inside his own half sent Ben Christie through in the centre, and he sidestepped the keeper at the edge of the box to run the ball in from a yard or two out for the fifth goal. In the 74th minute Aberdeenshire broke down the right and shot low and hard from 15 yards to score, 1-5. Three minutes later Aberdeenshire were awarded a penalty for hands in the back but, though the spot-kick hit the net, the referee ordered a retake following encroachment and Rhyddn McGuire saved. Soon after Ben Christie made it 1-6 from close range to complete his hat-trick and wrap up a good win. Dundee now face Forth Valley at home in the last match of the group with all still to play for.

Perth HS took the lead early when Grove were briefly down to 10 players for a nosebleed but soon doubled their advantage following a loose pass. Grove attacks were not getting past the keeper, including smashing one off the post, but with halftime approaching and trailing 3-0 Grove crossed from the right and finished at the far post for 3-1. A goal soon after the break made 3-2 but joy only lasted a minute before PHS were gifted a 4th. When it went to 5-2 it looked all over but the Grove girls did not give up, scored twice and spent the last 5 minutes battling for an equaliser but PHS held on for a narrow win.
