A worthy cup final! 

Uni were the better side in the first half and were comfortably 2-0 up at the break. Sauchie managed to work the ball wide lots and with pace, but delivery into the box was either poor, or no one in the centre to get on the end. Two cracking goals by the Uni and it looked like it would be an easy victory. 

2nd half... and you can only wonder what the Sauchie manager said at the break... they dominated the half and were far better. An early goal give them hope, but the deserved equaliser didn't come until into injury time... again it was two cracking goals.

Extra time was a more even affair, but it was Uni that scored again when a long throw was headed goalwards and the keeper could only push it against the post and watch it drop over the line... am sure he'll be pretty disappointed in his effort to keep it out.

The officials were very weak and surely not the standard for a cup final. Bottled sending off a Sauchie player in the first half (and arguably in extra time). And all 2nd half took no action over Uni players time wasting and constantly stealing yards at throw-ins.

Still enjoyed the game and 4 great goals and 2 really committed teams, Uni will be decent addition to next seasons City Cup.
