Spartans under 17s lifted the Scottish Youth cup today after a convincing victory beating Giffnock Soccer Centre 5-0. This is the first time any Spartans youth team has played in the competition so to win it at the first time os asking is something else.
Keith McKay who is the assistant manager told The Edinburgh Reporter:- “It hasn’t really sunk in yet, the lads played exceptionally well, we scored early on in the game and that helped to settle us down. I thought that on the day we were the better footballing team and we were to strong for Giffnock. At the final whistle the feeling was electric the team are delighted.”
Spartans goals game from Steven Havelin, Jordan Brown, Scott Irving and a Blair Atkinson double.
Spartans will be hoping that they can go on and pick up more silverware as they are currently in another three-cup finals and if they win their remaining five league matches they will win their league.
Spartans next fixture is this coming Friday evening in the Victor Paris cup final at Saughton.
