| Match Report | Salters crashed out of the Scottish Cup to another Edinburgh Team, Longstone Welfare at Penicuik. Paul Milligan, Paul Nelson, Richard Murray and Mikey Thomson all missed chances in the first half that should have been put away. Longstone also pressed and took the lead after a good finish. The second half was more of the same; both teams created chances and Longstone scored a brilliant goal, the midfielder taking the ball driving forward and hitting a screamer straight in the top corner. Longstone went 3-0 up soon after. Salters rallied and got a goal back through Stephen Brown then an OG from the Longstone GK. Again we created several very good chances, Paul Milligan, Steven Duncan, Paul Nelson and Richard Murray all going close when a goal looked more likely. However on the break Longstone broke away and sealed the game. Again Salters did not defend well and the host of easy chances we missed cost us this game. Longstone were deserved winners in the end and we wish them all the best of luck in the next round. Salters cannot continue to play as bad as this or all the hard work and effort so far this season will have been wasted. |
