Kemnay Amateurs progressed into the next round of the Hans Fyfe Trophy with an emphatic 14–0 victory over University Colts, producing an impressive attacking display that featured some excellent team football, clinical finishing and six different goalscorers.

With eight goals in the first half and a further six after the break, Kemnay maintained their attacking momentum throughout the afternoon. Ryan and Saber both grabbed four goals apiece, Jacob completed a hat-trick, while Harry, João and Craig also got themselves on the scoresheet.

First Half

Kemnay made a positive start, moving the ball well and looking to create opportunities through some quick, attacking football.

The opening goal came through an excellent piece of individual play from Ryan. Picking up possession on the left edge of the penalty area, he beat two defenders before reaching the byline and looking up to pick out Harry, who was perfectly placed to turn the ball home.

The second followed after some lovely play from João, who released Saber through on goal. Faced with a one-on-one against the goalkeeper, Saber showed excellent composure to slot the ball into the net.

Jacob made it three after getting on the end of a Harry cross. Controlling the ball inside the penalty area, he produced a clever turn before striking left-footed into the far corner.

Kemnay continued to create chances, and the fourth came courtesy of Craig, who collected possession around the halfway line and carried the ball forward before threading an excellent pass through to Ryan. The striker made no mistake with his finish.

João was next on the scoresheet after Greg found him on the edge of the area. Shifting the ball onto his right foot, João produced a beautifully controlled finish past the goalkeeper to make it five.

The sixth arrived from a Harry corner, with Craig finding space at the back post and managing to turn the ball into the net with his shoulder.

Ryan then grabbed his second of the afternoon after Jacob played a well-timed through ball into his path. Ryan beat a defender inside the box before finishing past the goalkeeper.

Kemnay rounded off the first-half scoring with another excellent team goal. Callum Campbell picked out Harry on the wing with a superb long pass. Harry beat his marker and delivered a quality cross into the area, where Jacob was waiting to power a header into the net.

Second Half

Kemnay returned for the second half looking to maintain the standards they had set before the break.

Jacob completed his hat-trick with the ninth goal, collecting possession inside the penalty area before turning and finding the corner of the net with a well-placed finish.

The tenth came after Ryan saw his initial effort saved by the University Colts goalkeeper. Saber reacted quickest to the rebound, following in to convert from close range.

Saber then completed his own hat-trick in impressive fashion. Davis played him through, and the forward showed great skill and confidence to beat the two remaining defenders before rounding the goalkeeper and tapping into the empty net.

Not to be outdone, Ryan soon completed his hat-trick with another excellent individual effort. Taking on two defenders, he worked himself into space before firing a left-footed shot past the goalkeeper.

Ryan added his fourth shortly afterwards, collecting a pass from Greg on the right before driving centrally into the penalty area and finishing with another left-footed strike.

The final goal of the afternoon came from some excellent combination play involving Craig and Jacob. The pair linked up well before Jacob released Saber through on goal, and the forward applied the finishing touch to claim his fourth and Kemnay's fourteenth.
