Edinburgh City Colts Under 15's continued their giant killing act in the quarter final of the John McConnell Memorial Cup with a fantastic win against 2nd Division Tynecastle Colts.

It's the latest big name scalp on a fantastic run that has seen them beat 2nd Division Leith Athletic Colts & 1st Division Dunbar United Colts in the earlier rounds.

On a perfect day for football at Sighthill, City came flying out the traps & their performance in the first 20 minutes of the half was simply outstanding. They were first to every challenge & their passing football was a joy to watch.

It wasn't long before their first chance was created. Chris Graham found himself free on the edge of the box and his goal bound shot was just deflected over the bar. From the resultant corner, Ciaran McGuire's inswinging cross hit the bar & after an almighty scramble Tynecastle's goalie pulled of the first of many great saves.

It was non-stop pressure from City and the bar again came to Tynecastle's rescue following a great move & shot from Darren Pennycuick.

City finally got the goal their efforts deserved when Chris Graham's corner was superbly headed in to the Tynecastle net by David Hutchison.

As City tired Tynecastle came more into the game & Adam Moore in the City goal was called on to pull off some great saves of his own. The 2nd half was a much more open affair with both teams creating plenty of chances. Both defences were under a lot of pressure but both held firm with some great defending, in particular Liam O'Donnell's & Alan Reid's tackling for City was outstanding.

City came close again when yet another corner came back of the bar & just when it seemed easier to score from the rebound, Alan Reid blasted it high over the bar.

As we entered the final 10 minutes of the game it was backs to the wall for the City players who by this time were dead on their feet. However Jordan Lock somehow found the energy to run almost the entire length of the pitch to fire a fantastic shot which agonisingly for him & his team mates cannoned back of the bar.

The large crowd that had turned out to support City couldn't take much more, their nerves were in tatters & when Tynecastle's forward found himself free in the City box in the last minute, they feared the worse. The shot was goal bound all the way until City's goalie Adam Moore some how got his hand to it, to pull of the save of the match, if not the season.

The final whistle sounded & no one could quite believe that City had pulled of yet another fantastic result. This was a great advert for youth football with both teams contributing to a fantastic game.
