Jeanfield travelled to the Seven Acres to face Second Division side Letham Community in the semi-final of the Perthshire Cup.

Letham sat deep as Jeanfield dominated possession in the first half, but the breakthrough goal remained elusive.

After the break, the message was clear: step it up — and the Swifts responded. In the 51st minute, K. Mitchell drove into the box and was brought down, resulting in a penalty that A. Abboud calmly converted.

On 65 minutes, a B. Potter corner found L. Bloomer, who rose highest to head home Jeanfield’s second.

Letham pulled one back in the 72nd minute with a back-post header from a corner, briefly shifting the momentum.

But Jeanfield restored their two-goal lead in the 77th minute when B. Calderwood broke in behind and squared it to J. Howie, who took a touch and slotted past the keeper.

Late in the game, J. Jardine was sent off after receiving two yellow cards for dissent.

Man of the match was Jack Howie who started to look like his old self after weeks out with injuries. He battled all over the park and managed to chip in with a goal.
