The_Judge Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 A couple of tremendous goals last night. Any word on date and venue of the final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Date is Sunday 20th March according to LL and EOSL websites. No venue listed yet. Looks a high quality final in prospect. East Kilbride won the South Challenge Cup in their first season and the Lowland League Cup last season, so on for a hat-trick. When did Spartans last play in a Final? Was it v Berwick Rangers EOS in the King Cup a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surely not! Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Broxburn for the final. Cue all sorts of theories over them potentially looking to join the lowland. OR, just realise that geographically its a decent shout and that its a surface that will be guaranteed to be in good nick at that time of year. Also not give any team an advantage as both play on high quality artificial surfaces...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Interesting move, nonetheless. Already hosted some EOSFA & EOSFL games this season. LTHV v Peebles (Sat 12th Dec - EOS League); Tynecastle v Eyemouth (Sat 20th Feb - King Cup R1). Might've been others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoofhearted Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 It could have worse. I was dreading somewhere equidistant like Gretna or Annan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surely not! Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 It could have worse. I was dreading somewhere equidistant like Gretna or Annan. Those would be extreme but not unheard of for the powers that be to decide. However I felt they might use gala citing the equidistant idea. Think broxburn is a decent alternative though.
