Felicity Johnson grabbed a hat-trick and Ailie Clapperton completed the scoring.

“Fettes have had a good season and we were expecting a really tough match,” said Linda Clement, the Watson’s head coach. Already winners of the 1st XI Tournament, the Tipperlinn team remain firmly on course for an East of Scotland schools double. In the quarter-finals of the East Knock-Out Cup, Watson’s defeated North Berwick High School and now face St George’s, who overcame Loretto in a pressure-packed penalty shoot-out.

Watson’s found the going tougher at the weekend when they fought out a 0-0 draw with Mary Erskine’s in a friendly.

In the other quarter-finals, Mary Erskine’s beat Fettes College and George Heriot’s overcame Currie High School. Both semi-finals will be played before Christmas, with Mary Erskine’s and Heriot’s lining-up in the semi-final this Saturday at Ravelston.
