Another successful trip to Ochilview this time for the S2 football team playing in the leaguecup final. The match was a very tightly fought encounter finishing 1-1 after full time withLarbert's goal coming courtesy of Alistair Mckenzie. The game had to be decided by apenalty shoot out which made the finish very nerve wracking for the 200 Larbert High pupilsin attendance to support their friends. The penalty shoot out entered into sudden death andthe penalty to win the match was taken by Ryan Wilson who coolly stepped up to the andslotted it home to ignite the celebrations! He was quickly met by the rest of his team mateswho rushed from the half way line to celebrate with him! Well done to the whole team andJamie Swinney and Mr Hamilton.
