The first half ended goalless but, in the second half, City found themselves two goals down with 15 minutes to go.

They dragged themselves back into contention as Joe Jukes and Daniel Mellis slotted home a penalty each. Luke McGrevy scored in the closing stages to seal the win. He was alert at the back post and tapped in a corner that had drifted beyond the defence.

Edinburgh South had the chance to equalise but were denied by a brilliant last ditch tackle from Issac Haston.

Early in the second half goalkeeper Ben McIntosh was called into action as he smothered a quick counter-attack from the Cobras. Minutes later Penicuik had their own counter-attack. Jackson Marrins was played through and curled a shot high beyond the keeper, ensuring their progression to the next round of the Willie Bauld Cup.

The second came as a free-kick was floated into Daniel Fennell, who knocked the ball down to Mikey Marenduzzo to slide past the keeper.

Hutchie grabbed one back to take the score to 2-1, but the victory was sealed by substitute James Robb to take the final score to a more comfortable 3-1.

Cavalry Park U-16s progressed to the next round of the Colin Greenhill Cup as they saw off Currie Star 2-0.

Eddie Bain broke the deadlock as he scored from a tight angle, with Cavalry doubling their lead in the first half courtesy of a brave header by Connor Fleming to knock it past the keeper.

The second half was more even than the first. With ten minutes to go Cavalry had a man sent off, but the subsequent penalty was missed as Cavalry did enough to see out the rest of the match.
