Cup victory makes it a perfect ten for Windsor

After leading 1-0 at half-time through a Ryan McConville strike, goals came in quick succession in the second half as McConville grabbed his second before strikes from Reece Docherty and Declan O'Kane, who scored from the penalty spot, claimed victory for Windsor.

The win marked a fitting end for a young Honest Toun team playing their last game together before going their separate ways next season.

Both teams went close to scoring in the opening first ten minutes but were denied by the agility of Leith goalkeeper Reece Smail and his Musselburgh counterpart Daniel Laing.

Musselburgh took the lead early on with a fantastic move allowing McConville to head into an unguarded net from seven yards out. .

Leith tried hard to get back into the game and almost instantly did so as centre half and man of the match Llyndon Learnad played a delightful ball over the top for the onrushing Simon Nyamhunga, who just failed to control the ball as keeper Laing came rushing out. Nyamhunga's pace caused the Musselburgh defence no end of problems, and on the half-hour mark his mazy run took him past both centre halves only for his goalbound shot to be deflected off the leg of Kamran Tufail for a corner.

At the start of the second half, Musselburgh came out fighting with McConville getting his second of the game moments after the restart. Craig Turnbull started off the move inside his own half, skipping past the Leith midfield before sliding in the energetic O'Kane to flick the ball over to McConville, who had cut in off his wing, to fire in a fierce left-foot drive.

Ten minutes later and the game was all over as Musselburgh were awarded a penalty for a push on the tireless McConville.

Musselburgh coach Stuart Turnbull refused to let McConville take the kick to get his hat-trick and so O'Kane stepped up to fire into the bottom left-hand corner and give his side a 3-0 lead. With over an hour of the game gone Musselburgh were controlling the pace of play with some exciting and fast flowing football, the majority of which was coming through McConville and Daniel Moffat.

However it was their captain Jack Moffat who next showed his skills as he picked up the ball from his left-back position before taking on four Leith players prior to being awarded a free kick after Lloyd McGee mistimed his tackle.

O'Kane stepped up and drilled the ball through the wall only for it to be expertly saved by the diving hand of Smail.

Five minutes later, Musselburgh wrapped up the scoring as Reece Docherty scrambled home a corner from the left.

Musselburgh's coach Stuart Turnbull believed his team deserved the 4-0 win.He said: "I felt we played extremely well creating chances throughout the game. To win this trophy is an accumulation of the hard work these boys have done over the last ten years they have been together. It is also a sad occasion with many heading off to pastures new so winning this trophy was a great send off."

Leith's coach Leighton Jones felt the best team won on the day. "We looked really tired after what has been a long, hard season," said Jones. "I can't fault the guys for effort and their character throughout. I am extremely happy with the season we have had, finishing second in the league, after getting promotion last year, and reaching a cup final too. A fantastic year."
