SPARTANS WIN ANDERSON CUP
ON a night when many football fans were
watching Ronaldihno, Henry and co in
action in the Champions League final in Paris, Spartans 3rd XI managed a
hard fought 3-1 win in extra time over old rivals Edinburgh University
in
the Anderson Cup Final in the Lothian & Edinburgh AFA. At half time the
score was 0.-0 with the University keeper making good saves, the pick of
those being a volley from Stish Murray from 18yd out. In the second
half,
the University come into to the game but an Adam Perry goal with 20mins
gone
looked like it would be enough to seal the victory in regular time for
the
Spartans. However, with less than 10mins to go the University snatch an
equaliser to take the game to extra time. The first half of extra time
once
again saw Adam Perry finding himself free for a 4yd screamer after a
good
set-piece to put one Spartans hand on the cup. Spartans continued to
push
forward in the second half and Adam Smith who had worked tirelessly up
front
all evening was finally rewarded when he slotted away the third goal to
clinch victory for Spartans. Congratulations also to Dorian Ogunro who
was
awarded the man-of-the-match award for his great display in the middle
of
the park.
