MIM III 2
Falkirk GHG II 3

Despite taking a three goal lead over their Edinburgh hosts, Falkirk allowed them to come back in the second half with two scores to put the destination of three league points in doubt. David Sharp used his poaching instincts for the first, Douglas Nicol slotted in number two in the dying seconds of the first half. Stephen Sutton put his name on the third which should have sealed the game but even the acrobatics of Michael Steel in goal could not prevent two scores. Chances to stretch the lead were there for Iain Fraser and Kevin Russell but the scoreline was to take the team two points closer to the League Title if the team also win next week.

On the astro at Watsons College, the youthful Falkirk side with a smattering of older more experienced heads, matched a robust Edinburgh squad to end the game honours even. Watsons looked the likelier to break the deadlock but Scott Morrison in goal was in stubborn mood. Chas Kemp, Stuart MacDonald, Stuart Bell and Amrit Dhillon were particularly tenacious in midfield, but had there been a little more composure in front of goal, the result might have been different. With John Gow umpiring well enough for both halves of the pitch, this allowed both sides to show off their silky skills in a game for which a draw was a fair result.
