Youth cup glory

Killie starlets are heroes of Hampden

- CALLUM CARSON

Kilmarnock lifted the Scottish FA Youth Cup after an impressive performance in defeating Dundee 2-0 in the final at Hampden Park.

An early header from Duncan Barlow was added to in the latter stages by a deflected Reuben Cooper effort-and it was no more than Killie deserved from a game in which they dominated for large spells.

Kilmarnock started on the front foot with skipper Ben Brannan fizzing a strike from distance that Dees keeper Warren Lyall appeared to lose in the sunlight for a split second before saving with his legs.
