U20s Match Report - Newtongrange Star

Full-Time: Newtongrange Star 5 - 3 Edinburgh South U20s

A spirited display from the lads last night despite a depleted squad! 💪⚽️

South started brightly, taking an early lead through Alfie Robertson, and defended superbly for much of the first half before a Nitten free kick levelled things just before the break.

The second half started tough, and we soon found ourselves 2–1 down. Despite injuries and illness throughout the squad, the boys dug deep — a stunning strike from Riley Selcraig brought us back to 2–2.

Nitten pushed on to make it 4–2, but South refused to give in. A brilliant solo goal from Sulayman pulled it back to 4–3, and we came so close to equalising late on with two great chances. Unfortunately, Nitten sealed it with the last kick of the game.

A battling performance full of heart, determination, and character from the lads last night 👏

Best of luck to Newtongrange Star for the rest of the season. 🔴⚪️
