Close tight games with all teams giving their all was a sight to behold . Today Dundee United (B) beat Livingston F.C.(B) 2-1 with Owen Stirton opening the scoring on the 70th minutes for the Tayside club Brandon Forbes doubled their advantage on 78 minutes before Che Reily got a consolation on 82 minutes . The final was another tight affair with Calum Heath opening the scoring on 4 minutes . Pollok took the lead with a quick fire double on 20 and 21 minutes through Kenneth Barr and Stephen Docherty . Broxburn were not to be denied and the second half saw Greg Page equalise on 58 minutes before Darren Downie made sure the trophy stayed in Broxburn with a goal with eight minutes left . As host we would like to thank our three guest clubs for making the tournament a success and thank you to all their supporter’s who attended the games .
