HibeeJibee Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Odd they append BoD as "North Junior Super League winners", but not Threave. Hawick, Threave, LTHV, Preston and St Cuthbert have to run PR1 bye gauntlet despite finishing above everyone else. Perplexing arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 They've presumably done it to highlight why no qualifier has come from North Juniors. However no qualifier came from SOSL, either, due to Threave. (Nor from EOSL due to Kelty - but they're unmentioned, joining R1 as now LL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I'm guessing that the draw is not actually on Thursday as stated above then? Keeping the details rather close to their chest if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Tynecastle v Shortlees in P1 looks like tie of round to me.Beith (potentially) v LTHV in P2 should be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Tremendous work from the copywriter there. Missing out Tynecastle v Shortlees from PR1, and then incorrectly spelling Wigtown & Bladnoch in PR2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 It's not out of character. Last season SFA themselves managed to announce Whitehall Welfare and Vale of Leven during R1 draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Seeing as they are lacking here's the first round results: Hawick Royal Albert 0–5 Bonnyrigg Rose Albert Park Golspie Sutherland 1–4 Burntisland Shipyard King George V Park Auchinleck Talbot 3–1 Banks O' Dee Beechwood Park Coldstream 4–2 St Cuthbert Wanderers Home Park Preston Athletic 3–1 Glasgow University Pennypit Park Threave Rovers 0–3 Beith Meadow Park Tynecastle 0–2 Shortlees Meggetland Sports Complex Shortlees being the closest thing to a shock I reckon. Would be good if they could go on a similar run to Colville last year. Burntisland v Golspie would maybe have been a closer game a few years ago I reckon. Playing the EoS league seems to be improving them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Quite what difference it makes is hard to define but Burntisland and Preston played 3 competitive games in the preceding week in the EOS Qualifying League... Saturday-midweek-Saturday... whereas the North Caledonian and Caledonian Amateur leagues probably haven't started. Nevertheless an excellent result for Burntisland. From the results we've seen, I think the Amateur Cup winners are perfectly capable of holding their own against middle and lower senior and junior teams. Having seen Tynecastle struggle to a 3-3 draw with Peebles a week past Wednesday from 2-0 down then surrendering 3-2 lead, plus having been thumped at St Andrews, it looked eminently winnable for Shortlees... I see it was 0-0 HT. Also while it was a home tie to Tynecastle they have only played Peebles and Hearts XI on it before now IIRC so they're almost as fresh to it. Bonnyrigg may be a different proposition. R2 draw looks like this:Girvan v Burntisland Shipyard Newton Stewart v Coldstream Auchinleck Talbot v Wigtown & Bladnoch Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic v Shortlees Preston Athletic v Linlithgow Rose Beith v LTHV On paper Girvan, Coldstream, Auchinleck, Bonnyrigg, Linlithgow and Beith will be favourites to reach R1 but LTHV fear no-one and Burntisland might fancy a shock.

How much of the amateur cup winning squads have the ammie teams managed to bring with them into the Scottish the next year? I'd presume most would have a good number of players lifted by local junior sides. Especially if they're coming from Ayrshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 No idea about Shortlees, but most of the top amateur teams are probably paying them more than they'd get in the bottom end of the Juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
