Well done the Hoose. Best result of the day for me

Don't know for sure, but doubt it costs as much to sponsor the wee cup as the big cup, but they still get more than their fair share of draws to host. Much prefer the way the West is done now taking it to member clubs.

Sponsor a cup which has three games and regularly get to host the draw for the junior flagship. That looks like a decent deal to me.

Decent cup tie at Blair Park today. I didn't see most of the first half, but talking to others it was 50-50. Ex-Ford man Slick Marks hit the post five mins after the break, but it took a penalty to break the deadlock when Taz McKenzie was hauled down. Liam Caddis converted. A towering Chris Roberston header set up Ross Fisher to blast home a second; and a suspiciously offside looking Squib McKenzie made it three. Nice to get the benefit of the doubt for a change. Glad to be in the hat; and look forward to meeting the Chookies another twice in the league this season.

Or maybe the cup again [emoji12]

Yip. 2pm. We are going earlier at 1pm at St. Ants, but it was originally 2pm.

It's a lot easier to read on my phone than it's predecessor. The lack of club fixture/results is annoying though.

I was told the pitch was vandalized and they had to repair a section of it.

Huge performance from Hurlford to beat league leaders Pollok today. Rode our luck at times with our keeper having several top saves and two goal line clearances ensuring our clean sheet. Our goal, however, was top drawer with MOTM Taz McKenzie getting his head on the end of a Beckamesque Tiny Watt cross.

Superb result for Talbot again today. Congratulations.

Thought the game was pretty even first half until a defensive error gifted Clydebank the lead, although IMO they should have had a penalty minutes earlier. Second half, another gift left Hurlford a mountain to climb. Ref then denied Hurlford a stonewall penalty and the Ford discipline went. Clydebank worthy winners in the end. Good hospitality at Holm Park which is still a work in progress, but it will be an excellent facility when complete.

Never mentioned bad. Said it was tough and I doubt if any West Premiership team would prefer it to their draw, although Kilbirnie's is pretty similar.

Another tough one for us away to SBA after just getting past Cumbernauld in the last round.
