Grange VII 0
Falkirk GHG VII 0

Grange saw their grass pitch as their secret weapon but it backfired on them as the Falkirk youngsters who had all looked out their football boots for the wet and slippy field, raised their game and refused to be pushed off the ball or intimidated by their larger opponets. With both keepers looking as though they had been in a mud fight, Chris Taylor was inspirational to his side, saving the day on several occasions. Ypung Arthur Robertson harried well absorbing much pressure in midfield, but Falkirk's best chance came from the stick of Chris Anderson who was narrowly wide of the post. Falkirk found another star in young Gordon Anderson who played his very first adult game at the age of 11 proving he is worth watching for the future.
