South fell to defeat in Newtongrange after an eventful game on Saturday.
An enthralling first half saw 8 goals scored and plenty of action.
Crops, Hammy & Youngy got our 3 goals but Nitten’s attacking threat was evident as they broke at speed and put in some great set pieces.
The South Starting line up was as below with Jordan Cropley back as captain.
