 Tass Thisle's under 15s, who have already secured a domestic treble, took on Glasgow & District YFL side Lenzie YC. Tass dominated early proceedings forcing a few half chances but on 6 minutes it was Lenzie who took the lead. The Lenzie full back was denied by the Tass keeper only for the ball to break to Dover who flicked the ball into the empty net from 3 yards.
Lenzie forced a terrific save from the Tass goalkeeper, McIntyre, as he stood tall to block the striker from point blank range. A minute later Tass hacked a Lenzie effort off the line. However Tass equalised from the penalty spot after a deliberate handball in the Lenzie penalty area. MacAuley calmly sent the keeper the wrong way to restore parity.
This setback did not dishearten Lenzie and minutes later they regained the lead. a shot from no Fraser was diverted into the net by Ferrie. Tass supporters shouted ferociously for offside but the linesman's flag stayed down to their disappointment.
In the 18th minute Lenzie scored again. Ferrie was played in over the top of the defence and he executed an exquisite lob over the keeper from 14 yards which looped over him and into the net. Tass rallied for the remaining half but couldn't engineer a way through the Lenzie rearguard.

 In the 2nd half Lenzie pressed for the 4th goal that would kill off the game. The Tass keeper produced 2 good saves to deny Dover but from the resulting corner he punched the ball into his own net. He felt that he was impeded by a Lenzie player but the referee disagreed and awarded the goal.
In the 56th minute the Tass no 4, Rainey, saw his header brilliantly saved. after the hour mark the game petered out for 10 minutes, Tass were huffing and puffing to find a way back into the match but the West Region side were in firm control.
On the 70th minute the Tass keeper made a marvellous double save to thwart Lenzie. O'Hare directed a header from 2 yards over the bar and moments later he blazed an effort from 5 yards over the bar.
Tass were reduced to 10 men in the closing stages, for an apparent elbow, which looked extremely harsh. In added time Lenzie compounded Thistle's misery by adding a 5th. Dover drilled a 16 yard shot that nestled into the bottom corner.
