Edinburgh City FC Under 16s

Our final award went to our top scorer Lewis Service. His goal haul was even more impressive given that Lewis has spent the majority of the season in the middle of the park. Brilliant stuff !

Next up was our supporters Player of the Year, and after another excellent season in the centre of defence, Jaden Riddell picks up the award. Well deserved

Our player of the year awards were up next and some great competition. First up was Ross Laing, & to go along with his 10 year award he picked up both Player of the year and Players Player of the year. He has had another fantastic season and his awards are thoroughly deserved

Followed by another 10 year award for Arran Matheson as well as a 5 year award for Tommy North.

Firstly picking up 10 year awards to Lucas Quinn Jack Richardson Daniel Jackson Boys have been with us from the very start at fun 4s

Well with the season over we can reflect on what has been a fantastic 23/24 for the boys. SERYFA Div 1 League winners, which inc some of the top sides in the Country along with a Scottish Cup Win. A great achievement from a group who have been a joy to work with. 🏴🏳️🏆🏳️🏴

Since our only 2 league defeats all season, coming back to back away to MW & BR they have picked 36 points from 36. Most competitive U16 league in the country & Scottish Cup winners cements the boys as being Best 08 side in the Country 🏴🏳️🏆🏳️🏴

After a long season, the boys added to their recent Scottish Cup win by securing Seryfa Div 1 last night. In a league deciding winner takes all game they came away with the 3 points against a top Bonnyrigg side.

A tough set of games this week in the league and 6 points on the board, after excellent results against 2 very good sides in @spartans_youth & Broxburn. Just the 3 games left in the season and this Sunday we travel to @Porty08s in what will be another difficult game. 🏳️🏴⚽️🏴🏳️

A big 3 pts for the boys last night, but the biggest plus 100% was welcoming Kristofer on to the park for the last 20min. 💪⚽️ Kris has been out since February with a serious illness so was great to see him join his team mates back on the park ! Welcome back ! 🏴🏳️ @ECYouthFC

Back to league action this evening as we welcomed a good @Porty08s to Forrester. Great to see goals spread around with 7 different scorers including a Matthew Hatrick. All the best to @Porty08s going forward We now look to Sunday as we host @spartans_youth 🏳️🏴

@HampdenFC08s Thanks guys. Was a very competitive game and one I think everyone, neutral or otherwise enjoyed watching so a great advert for youth football overall. All the very best for the remainder of this season as well as next year.

Congratulations to Edinburgh City on yesterday’s extra time win in the Scottish Cup Final from everyone at Hampden FC Probably edged it in the end with both teams having decent chances Edinburgh took there’s 👏🏼

Boys wrap up their second trophy of the season in a very tight and tough game this afternoon at Hallhill. Huge well done to all players on winning the South East Cup Final. Second time in three years. 5 massive games now coming up as we try to retain the league title 🌹🏆🌹🏆

On the day each and everyone played their part, whether on the park or from the sides and we couldn’t be prouder. !! Double Scottish Cup winners 2022/23 and 2023/24. 🏳️🏴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴🏳️ @EdinburghCityFC @ECYouthFC

What a day it was for this fantastic group. A tight game against a top Hampden side where we went in 1-1 at half time, after a Matthew Murray-Smith equaliser on the stroke of half time. The 2nd half seen chances come and go and it looked like it would be one of those days.

In to extra time and Arran Matheson pops up in the box to convert a rebound from close range. We had to deal with pressure with corners and free kicks in to the box late on in extra time but defended brilliantly.
