I played for Leith Schools Select team in the 70,s we played Edinburgh Schools select in the first round
at Warriston and beat them 5.2.
We had a fantastic side that beat school select teams all over Scotland eventually getting beat in the Scottish Cup Final
from Hamilton Schools select.
Leith Select also got to the final 4 years earlier in the 70,s but also lost.
At the time these were the only two occasions the Leith Select ever got to the final.

100% correct - I watched the Leith Schools v Hamilton Schools 1978 Scottish Schools Cup Final (in which Reversep played at centre half) and played in the 1974 Scottish Schools cup final for Leith against Aberdeen , which we lost 4-2 over two legs (John Hewitt scored twice for Aberdeen) . And let me assure you, in those two particular years, Edinburgh schools were not in the same league as the laddies fi Leith.
