The club are putting a bit in our programme for the 40th anniversary of the Scottish cup final against Kilbirnie when we play them on the 29th.

 

Does anyone know the run of games Rob Roy won that season to make it there? And Kilbirnies too?

Kilbirnie's run was:-

 

Round 1 Bye

 

Round 2 Johnstone Burgh (Home)...........3-0

 

Round 3 Beith Juniors (Away).......3-1

 

Round 4 Darvel Juniors (Away).........6-0

 

Round 5 Ardrossan Winton Rovers (Home).......5-0

 

Round 6 Petershill (Home).......1-0

 

Semi Final Lesmahagow (Rugby Park, Kilmarnock).....1-1, 1-0

 

FINAL Kirkintilloch Rob Roy (Hampden Park, Glasgow)...........3-1

 

 

 

I can't find the opposing run though.

If someone can track it down at the Mitchell, there was a penpic preview in the Evening Times on 19th May '77 - the digital scan online has not reproduced well for KRR.

 

The match report can be found here, pgs 10 and 18:

Correct. Junior attendances have been falling off a cliff since live t.v arrived. You see very few youngsters at games now,as they would rather watch 'real' football on the box
