LEVEL AT LEITH LINKS

LEITH ATHLETIC COLTS 1 MYS BLACKS 1

Another great match ended with the same score as the last time the teams met. The game itself was pretty similar too - some good football from both teams, a limited amount of clear-cut chances at both ends and total commitment from both sides.

Jack fired a long-range shot narrowly wide early on, then Lloyd was also just off target from the edge of the box as Youngstars had the better chances. However, Leith were playing neater football and Cammy Brown was called on to make a good save from a left-foot shot. Scott then ran clear after winning a tackle but dragged his shot wide.

Cammy was fairly quiet for the rest of the first half, with Jack and Jason, then later David, providing a solid barrier in front of him.

There were more chances in the second-half and after a lovely through ball from Callum, Scott crashed a left-foot shot onto the bar. But Leith were looking very menacing and took the lead when a short free-kick was hit low into the penalty area and somehow crept through into the far post.

Scott went close again as we fought back well, and we equalised when Scott's corner was powerfully headed home by Jack.

Cammy Brown was then called upon with a great reflex save before Jack did brilliantly to get back and clear off the line after a Leith striker got round Cammy and shot towards goal.

At the other end, Brandon was linking play well down the left and from a cross by Scott, Seth put the ball just wide at the far post. Cammy then made another superb save as both teams pushed for a winner, but the score ended 1-1 - a fair result for two well-matched teams.

Squad: Cammy, Jack, Jason, David, Seth, Lloyd, Callum, Scott, Brandon
Scorere: Jack
