The next game on Sunday 13th at Excelsior Stadium was Tynecastle and Antonine Blacks which was sure enough an exciting game. In the windy and rainy opening, the first chance of the game fell to Antonine. Aaron Graham fed the ball to Liam Deane but his shot went wide of the left hand post. In the first half of the game both side were cancelling each other out and most of the action was in the midfield as both teams struggled to break down the opposition's defence, therefore there was no goals untill the second half. The second half was following a similar pattern to the first with both sides having good periods of possession but no real chances were being created. There was drama in the last minute however as Tynecastle took the lead. Antonine's goalkeeper miscued a clearence from the edge of his own box and the ball fell to the feet of Tynecastle's Tyler Connachan who calmly fired the ball into the empty net which took the score final to 1-0 to Tynecastle winning them the Scottish Cup Final.
