Falkirk GHG III 2
Hillhead III 3

Falkirk were delighted to rekindle their friendship with the Glasgow Club with whom there had been a long history of friendlies played by both the Graeme High FP and Grangemouth Clubs.
Falkirk should have had this game in the bag in the first half but Jonny Anderson could only hit the post, and Chris Sim and Austin Heggie also could not open the scoring. Even with the award of a Penalty Stroke, Charles Kemp saw his shot well-saved by the Hillhead keeper. It took a Jonny Anderson cross which found Chris Sim to make the opener.
Hillhead soon leveled but Stuart MacDonald found the net courtesy of an untypical pass from Austin Heggie. Stuart Gardner and Ian Park made a welcome return and showed both had not lost their enthusiasm for the game. Two further scores by Hillhead sealed the game, despite a late chance to level which involved William Simpson and David Sharp, with Charles Kemp unable to divert the ball into the goal from close in.
