Edinburgh City footballers celebrate after adding the Inspiresport under-16 Scottish Cup to the under-15 trophy gained last year – a rare achievement.
The Capital youngsters travelled to the Excelsior Stadium, Airdrie, where they were made to work hard by opponents, Hampden FC and extra time was required to separate the sides.
Hampden FC scored first then Matthew Murray Smith equalised at the end of the first half. It was Arron Matheson who secured the win for City in extra time.
