JUNIOR CUP 5TH ROUND DRAW - Tuesday 10 December 3pm Let's hope for a home draw.....Go the Hoose!

MATCH REPORT FROM BRIDGE OF DON'S FACEBOOK PAGES Bridge Of Don Thistle v Fauldhouse United match report A fantastic crowd turned out to see Bridge Of Don Thistle host Fauldhouse United in the Scottish Junior Cup. It was 3rd time lucky in terms in terms of getting the game played, the game started with the hosts on the front foot with Darren Holt delivering in an excellent ball from the left however nobody on the end of it in the box. Paul Napier then found Wozniak however the header was caught by Matthew Craig. A good ball then found it’s way to Andrew Duffy who had a wonderful lob which went over the bar. Ewan Herriot had a chance for the visitors which hit the sidenetting before at the other end, a Liam Burnett pass found Stewart Rennie who half volleyed wide. Burnett was getting into some really dangerous positions for the hosts & a solo effort from the midfelder went just wide of right hand post. David O’Donnell then had a volley towards goal thwarted by Rhys Fyfe with the Thistle defence having to weather the storm to a degree. Bridge Of Don Thistle took the lead on 41 minutes & it was a fantastic goal to match as well, the ball 30 yards from goal & up stepped Paul Napier with a free kick which he converted with perfection into the top left hand corner. A good competitive opening 45 minutes with Thistle probably doing enough over the piece to merit being a goal in front at the interval. Half time Bridge Of Don Thistle 1-0 Fauldhouse United 2nd half Fauldhouse levelled on 49 minutes, a fantastic ball came in from the left by Dean Richardson which was met by Andrew Duffy who produced a fine diving header beyond Rhys Fyfes reach. Just 2 minutes later, Thistle were ahead with Nikolas Wozniak getting into a great position before a shot from a tight angle deflected beyond Matthew Craig into the net. A Liam Burnett ball found Sam Muirhead midway through the half which was offside however thwarted by Matthew Craig irrespective with Thistle continuing to be on top however having a lack of product in the final 3rd. Fauldhouse levelled with 10 minutes to go with a fantastic strike by David O’Donnell finding the net which was disappointing from a Bridge Of Don point of view. United got a late winner on stoppage time with David O’Donnell running in on goal & finding the net beyond Rhys Fyfe. A disappointing one to take for Thistle however we wish Fauldhouse United all the best in the next round of the competition.

That statement probably sums up quite succinctly the views of all the Hoose supporters after the win.... delighted with the TEAM effort and performance demonstrated to get the Hoose into Tuesday's last 16 draw. Let's hope we get a "good draw" and take it from there!. Praise also must go to JC and the management team as the effort starts from the top down. Lets keep this spirit and determination going into Saturdays game.....Go The Hoose!!

Superb performance by every player yesterday after missing a penalty and then equalizing early in the second half our heads could have dropped 2 really good goals by dd but matty craig take a bow son he has came on leaps and bounds this year has matured and improved so much some of his saves this season have been exceptional roll on the next round Totally agree with you.....a truly TEAM performance yesterday against a strong physical team on a very tight park. Great game that could've IMO went any way but a fantastic strike by DD 10 mins from end puts us in the next round. Good hard typically physical junior cup tie yesterday with a good Hoose support in attendance. On to the Dale on Saturday and lets hope the lads put in a similar performance. 4th Round here we come....Go The Hoose!!

Copy of yesterday's match report courtesy of the Thornton Hibs website. Scottish Junior Cup - Third Round The Hibs are out of the Macron Scottish Junior Cup following a disappointing performance against Fauldhouse who had David O'Donnell to thank for two great strikes that earned the visitors the victory that takes them into the fourth round draw. It was Thornton who created the first goal-scoring opportunity in the 2nd minute when Daniel McNab's strike from the edge of the box brought out a fine save from Matthew Craig. O'Donnell opened the scoring in the 20th minute when his well-taken free-kick entered the net low down just inside the post. Craig made another fine save to deny Garry Thomson and followed this up with a brave save at the feet of McNab as Thornton tried to get back into the game. On the stroke of half-time Fauldhouse had a great opportunity to double their lead when Scott Costello brought down Aiden Ward in the area however Costello atoned for this by saving Aaron Connolly's penalty-kick. Three minutes into the second-half, Garry Thomson scored his tenth ever goal in the Scottish with a terrific free-kick to level affairs and not long after this, Andy Adam's free-kick was well saved by Craig with Thomson and Shaun Keatings watching in disbelief as their close in efforts were blocked on the line. O'Donnell's brilliant strike from outside the area in the 83rd minute gave Costello no chance and in doing so it spoiled what was Craig Gilbert's 400th game in charge of the Hibs.
