■Sam Morrison equalises for Tweedmouth to make it 1-1 after just 4 minutes

Tweedmouth did the double over Edinburgh City Colts at Sighthill this morning winning comfortably by a 6-2 margin. The Berwick Upon Tweed side had already beaten their Edinburgh opponents 5-2 on the border and the bigger boys (and girl) from Berwick again had too much for their higher league counterparts.

It will now be between Tweedmouth and Duns Juniors to decide who wins the section and qualifies for the quarter finals.

Summer had just about arrived as the teams lined up to kick off and it took the home side less than a minute to break the Tweedmouth rearguard. A simple through ball was collected by Glen McKenzie in acres of space and although he mishit his shot it found its way into the corner of the net.

That goal woke the travel weary visitors up and they had a great chance to equalise two minutes later when Matthew Tait burst through the gaping holes in the City backline but he smashed his shot wide of the post.

The equaliser was merely delayed a few secondS however. A corner on the left wasn't cleared properly by Edinburgh City and it was eventually bundled home by Sam Morrison from inside the six yard box.

In the opening exchanges a clear contrast started to emerge. Tweedmouth had bigger and stronger players in their ranks, especially at the back where they found it easy to clear any emerging danger. And at the other end they had strong and willing runners ready to latch onto clearances from defence. City, on the other hand, were a smaller and less athletic looking side and were simply out-muscled in most tussles.

However the home side were enjoying a decent amount of possession and on 11 minutes Glen McKenzie should have put his side ahead again. Keith Buckley broke through 2 or 3 challenges before the ball broke off to McKenzie but with the goalkeeper stranded he blasted over the bar with the goal at his mercy.

Colts had another opportunity moments later when a header by Keith Buckley was brilliantly tipped over by Tweedmouth goalkeeper Aaran Grieve.

The visitors made them pay on 17 minutes when they went ahead. Tweedmouth broke away quickly up the pitch and a strong surging run by Matthew Tait saw him take the ball past the helpless Josh Cullerton in goal leaving him the simple task of stroking the ball into the empty net.

Matthew Tait and Luke Dickson had further chances to score as Tweedmouth took control and the shots started to rain in on the City goal. It was no surprise when they went 3-1 ahead on 27 minutes. Another ball in the City box wasn't cleared properly and after several attempts at goal the ball eventually fell to Daniel Tindle who spun and hit an unstoppable shot high into the right hand corner of the net.

Three minutes later and it was 4. A long ball from big Grant Leiper sent Paul Rutherford in the clear and he made no mistake shooting past the exposed Josh Cullerton.

Edinburgh City Colts had largely fallen out of this game but they were given a lifeline just before half time when Ewan Anderson scored directly from a corner. A right footed inswinger was sent into the centre of the goal where it slipped through Aaran Grieve's hands and into the net.

Half Time 2-4

The second half started as it meant to go on with both teams showing signs of tiredness on the huge Sighthill pitch and chances were few and far between. City did have a chance to pull another back on 46 minutes when Andrew Herbert did well on the left edge of the box but his squared ball across the face of the goal was too strong and the chance was gone.

The game settled into a stalemate with the home side unable to create anything of note and Tweedmouth soaking up any pressure that City did manage to exert. But on 57 minutes they put the game beyond doubt when Paul Rutherford scored his second of the game. A straightforward pass through the centre of the City defence wasn't dealt with and Rutherford had the simple task of slotting past the once again exposed Colts' keeper.

With the clocking ticking down gaps were starting to emerge all over the pitch and on 66 minutes Matthew Tait took advantage of some space to score the goal of the game. The ball fell to his feet about 25 yards out and he smashed a high shot over the outstretched arms of Josh Cullerton and into the roof of the net. A cracker.

There were two more chances before this game was brought to a close. The first fell to Tweedmouth's Ryan Tait who looked certain to score with an open goal but he managed to shoot high and wide and then some good work in the Colts' midfield saw the ball released to Ewan Anderson who made a great surging run into the visitors box but hit his shot into the side netting.
