Musselburgh Windsor U13's continued their fine run of form, that saw them win the Youth Team of the Month in December/January, with a fantastic Scottish Cup quarter final win over Lewis Utd Youth from Aberdeen.


Musselburgh Windsor progressed to the Semi Final of the Scottish Cup on Sunday with a well deserved victory against a fine Lewis Utd team from Aberdeen. Playing in front of a large crowd at Pinkie,  Windsor started slowly and the boys from Aberdeen created most of the chances in the first 15 minutes. A well taken goal by the strong centre forward put Lewis Utd in to a well deserved lead after 10 minutes. As the half went on however, Windsor started to get their passing game going and created a few chances with Jack Thomson and Jordon Burrows both coming close. Just before half time Lee Edwardson sent the home crowd wild with a sweet left foot strike past the diving Lewis keeper.

The home team continued where they left off at the start of the second half and much of the game was played out in the Lewis Utd half. Jordon Burrows tireless running paid off when he slid in at the back post to finish Ryan McConville's cross shot. From this point on there was only going to be one winner but with such a slender lead there were a few nervous moments in the Windsor box. The third and decisive goal came with two minutes to go where Martin Innes rose above the Lewis defence to power in a header.

This game was played in a tremendous spirit with both sides keen on playing attractive football, a comment echoed by the referee and both his Assistants at full time.

This Windsor side are now lining up for a tremendous end to the season with one cup final, three semi finals and a quarter final still to come.

Squad: Laing, Hook, Innes, Tufail, Harrold, Turnbull, Thomson, Greig, Moffat, Burrows, Edwardson, McConville, Watson, McFarlane.
