Cup holders Grove Menzieshill ousted by Edinburgh Uni in semi-final shoot-out
Edinburgh University shocked defending champions Grove Menzieshill in the Women’s Arthur McKay Scottish Cup semi-finals at Peffermill today to reach this year’s final.
The capital outfit beat the holders 6-5 on penalties after a 2-2 draw at the end of regulation time.
It means that the Women’s Scottish Cup competition will have a new name on the trophy for the first time in several years after Sam Judge’s side broke the Dundonians’ stranglehold on the cup.
The students advance to the final on Saturday 25 May, where they will play Milne Craig Clydesdale Western, who narrowly overcame CALA Edinburgh 1-0 in today’s other semi-final.
In the Women’s Arthur McKay Scottish Plate semi-finals, Esrkine Stewart’s Melville FP edged past local rivals Grange EL A by a slim 1-0 margin.
The former pupils will play another local derby in the plate final after Watsonians defeated Glasgow Accies 6-2 in the day’s second semi-final.
Meanwhile, Waverley Inveresk Trinity look likely to be relegated from Women’s Aberdeen Asset Management National League Division 2 after they lost 3-0 at home to fellow strugglers Glasgow University at Bangholm today.
The students now face a massive match against relegation rivals Haddington Ladies tomorrow.
