Hoping for a Lochee vs Wishy final, could be ‘the peoples final’, certainly the two most neutrals would favour. Fingers crossed!

Would definitely be the peoples final.

Nobody took the bait on this 1st time?

Bringing the focus back to the semis, and I'm afraid this query reflects my ignorance of this stage of the tournament since the 2 leg ties came in (I think I've only ever attended one semi-final in the early 1980s when Blantryre Vics won at the old Douglas Park), can the 2 games kick off on the same day at the same time? I see on one of the Hurlford sites both the Wishy games are billed as on Saturdays 14 and 21 April and the Lochee v Talbot game is also scheduled for the 14th. Makes complete sense as any game on that Sunday would be dwarfed by yon Old Firm malarkey but in my naivety when I saw the semis listed as 14/15 and 21/22 April I initially thought that meant one had to be on the Saturday and one on the Sunday.

I'm making my travel arrangements now so just wanted to be sure that I don't screw up, with Wishy having waited 80 odd years for a semi-final I don't want to miss out  through my own stupidity! On reflection, given that telly isn't a factor here, no reason why they shouldn't kick off at the same time but including those Sunday dates in the billing still worries me. Confirmation that the games are all on the Saturdays would be much appreciated.

I think the clubs have the option of playing on the Sundays, it's not like the seniors where one game is Saturday and one on Sunday. I think Glenafton v Camelon 2nd leg in 2014 was on a Sunday, but i cant recall any others in the last 5 year.

I have been told by our chairman that both our games with Wishaw are on the Saturday. Hope this helps.

Thanks very much for this, puts my mind at rest, can't imagine the god fearing folk of Ayrshire and Lanarkshire wanting a Sunday game, especially not the first leg when up against the other semi on in Glasgow that afternoon.

Looking forward to the matches with a mix of anticipation and trepidation, I've seen Alan Jenkins play a number of times over recent years with Ballymena and if he takes part will be a real menace (especially at set pieces) as the Bo'ness match showed. Anyway, just hope Wishy are still in it by the time they get to Hurlford. Thanks again!

What happened to the implementation of Cup Rule #16 from the  SJFA Rulebook?

Quote

On dates fixed for the Semi-Finals and Final of the Scottish Junior Cup no games shall take place within a 25 mile radius of the venue of such games and no games shall take place in any of the Regions from which the competing Clubs come.

The West Region has a full set of fixtures scheduled for both Saturdays 14th and 21st of April.

Surely either the semifinals should have been scheduled for Sundays 15th and 22nd, or the other fixtures need to be postponed/moved.

That'll cheer up the WSJFA fixtures guy :lol:

Lochee have went twice to Ayrshire and won. I'm not completely convinced by Talbot.

Talbot have went to the top division in the east and won twice also, if you are judging Talbot on saturdays performance thats up to you there were a few changes to the team, if we play the way we have been since December we will be tough to beat.
