COWDENBEATH U20 2 PARTICK THISTLE U20 3 (aet)

 

Sunday 25th September 2016, SFA Youth Cup Round Two.

 

Despite twice coming from behind we bowed out of the SFAYouth Cup in extra time on Sunday afternoon.

 

Thistle took the lead four minutes from the break when Neil McLAUGHLIN got onto the end of a Lamont cross to head home from close range.

 

With seven minutes of the second half gone we got back on level terms when Scott SUTHERLAND won the ball in the Jags box and lobbed the ball past Cullen from 12 yards.

 

In 56 minutes Thistle restored their lead when Wilson was brought down in the box by Kellichan and McLAUGHLIN slotted home the resultant penalty.

 

As the game went into stoppage time we grabbed a dramatic last minute equaliser when Jordan LESLIE got on the end of a Denton corner to head home.

 

However it was the Jags who were to progress into the next round when McLAUGHLIN completed his hat trick from the penalty spot after McConnell had fouled McCarthy in the box.

 

TEAM: Sneddon, Watt, Kellichan, McConnell, Leslie, Denton, Parr (Murray 46), McManus (Inglis 75), Muirhead, Sutherland & Swann (Graham 71). Subs not used – Donoghue, McAloney & Brown.
