The under 14s went out of the Scottish Cup in Glasgow going down 3-2 to Petershill Athletic onSunday. After going one down in the opening minute Gala equalised through Finlay Wheelans before taking the lead after half time with Gregor Collins finishing well. The game turned when Gala missed a penalty half way through the second half and having failed to take other chances, it allowed Petershill to gain the momentum and score 2 late goals. It was harsh on Gala who had played well but ultimately was a lesson in taking your chances. No fixture this weekend
