Franky Frankopolous Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 0-9 at HT and Selkirk 1 down in under 20 seconds. Was a long day for them and their keeper actually kept the score down by at least another 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 That is a corker of a result. How have Selkirk fared before in this competition? They made the Last 16 last season, which is why they entered directly at R3 this season. However, their U20 side folded in January and resigned from EOS U20s League, and they haven't one this season. Normally in such cases a boys club is roped-in or players are cobbled-together specially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I played in a frankly awful boys club team and we got spanked every week, double digits. But we never lost 25 nil!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I played in a frankly awful boys club team and we got spanked every week, double digits. But we never lost 25 nil!! You probably weren't playing against one of the better u20's professional set ups though. Anyway, 4th round gets underway on Saturday with Queen of the South v Cumbernauld Colts at Palmerston, 1pm kick off. With Queens having a week off at first team level there will hopefully be a half decent crowd to watch this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 While it's always nice to see us win 25-0, what's the point? I'm more thinking from Selkirk point of view - if they don't actually have an u20 team and have to patch one together or use a local boys club, only to take such a beating, who is it actually benefitting? Must be horrible for the Selkirk boys, and the Ayr boys aren't going to learn anything much you wouldn't think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I can only think that, having reached R4 last season and therefore having a R3 slot this season, they felt an obligation to themselves to give it a try. Entry is optional, there is no prizemoney, and I doubt it induced players to sign for LL team. They're not alone with it - e.g. Dalbeattie also had a 'bespoke' team - but as I said on another thread, maybe it should be limited to U20 teams.

Skyline Drifter Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The other thing is that its part of the Youth Cup that clubs play matches at their own registered ground. For clubs like Selkirk then it offers a rare opportunity for players to play at some of the country's top grounds and for officials to visit them. Not sure what the make up of their side is but i guess they maybe have a few first team players young enough to be involved. That might just be a factor in entering.

They join Ross County and Queens in the last 8. The remaining fourth round ties look like they'll be played later in December - next round is due to be played before the end of January so a bit of catching up to do after this weekend's postponements.
