Tollcross 4-1 East Linton623 jours il y a
 
First half started well for Tollcross, with early pressure, The first goal came when Ross Henderson whiped in a freekick to find Steven Moncur who headed across goal to find the bottom right corner 1-0, Tollcross felt like there were going to walk this game when Gary Fox got himself into the box and with a nice little touch he went past the defender only to be brought down , Steven Moncur stepped up and a good penalty was saved well down to the keepers right.
East Linton got themself back into the game when a mix up in defence lead to a bit of a scramble at the back post and the ball crept over the line to make it 1-1, The game started to get scrappy and i think both sides were happy to see the half time whiste needless to say the half ended with Tollcross the better of the two sides.

Second half started well for Tollcross and they looked much more up for it than East Linton, with a decent ball over the top from Stephen (Quagmire Quan) Callaghan, Steven Moncur raced through on goal and was brought down inside the box for the second penalty.
Ross Henderson stepped up and calmly slotted the ball bottom right sending the keeper the wrong way 2-1, East Linton looked as if they had gave up when Steven Moncur picked up the ball inside East Lintons half and turned inside to fire home a stunning strike from 25 yards into the top left corner 3-1.

The game had slowed down and Tollcross were passing and moving very well, with some good work on the left from Robbie (Robert) Menzies. The East Linton keeper miss hit his by kick and the ball fell to Jonny Turley who ran through and poked the ball with his left foot into the bottom right 4-1.

Chance after chance for Tollcross were going a begging but still they looked solid in defence and were under no pressure, good battling in the center from John Nisbet lead to him playing a cheeky wee one two with the ref and blasted his shot off the post from 25 yards, Tollcross were dominating and nice movement and passing lead to a corner on the left, Robbie Menzies whipped in a great ball which was met by Alan Budge who was unlucky to see his header rise over the bar. Tollcross were denied a 5th goal when Gary Fox raced through on goal, his first shot was saved well by the keeper but his follow up effort found the back off the net, only for the referee who it has to be said didnt have a good game blew for offside

The final Whistle blew and Tollcross progress into the semi finals with a good 4-1 win
