whatastramash Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 As the Duns game was off, I made my way to Fernieside for the Tynie v Peebles Rovers match. Both teams unbeaten in their respective leagues, it was safe to say Tynecastle went in to the match strong favourites, however, Rovers belied the odds, and how. Rovers were clearly well up for the match , and took the game to Tynie from the kick off, with a Scott Sutherland double giving the visitors a well deserved lead, only for Tynecastle to pull one back, seconds before half time. I expected the home side to come out, 2nd half , all guns blazing, but Rovers looked more likely to add to their lead. Only 2 magnificent stops from the home sides keeper prevented Rovers adding to their lead. There was a period of sustained pressure from Tynecastle but the visitors held firm, and added to their lead minutes from the end, with new signing Paul Murray netting. All in all, an enjoyable match for the neutral, and Peebles Rovers can be very proud of this deserved victory, and anow a cup final to look forward to.

old as fcuk Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Very good game to watch on sat, Tynecastle never looked like scoring. the pass for Devlin's goal was pin point. give Peebles there due they knew what to expect and stuck to there game plan. 2 good goals by there forward, especially the second. final will be good to watch.
