HibeeJibee Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 After what looks like a hard-fought tie, a couple of goals for Tynecastle in the last quarter saw them prevail 4-2 over Peebles Rovers. So the Alex Jack Cup Final will be an all-Edinburgh affair - and a battle of old rivals Tynecastle and Leith. No venue seems to have been confirmed.

HibeeJibee Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Tynecastle deservedly won 3-0 against Leith at a bright and blustery Pennypit this afternoon to win the Alex Jack Cup. They'll face Bonnyton or Mid Annandale on Sunday 19th November for a place in next season's Scottish Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Bonnyton Thistle 1-4 Mid Annandale Mids will play arguably their biggest game in 80+yrs... Tynecastle their biggest-ever... when they meet for a Scottish Cup place in the South & East Cup-Winners' Shield on Sun 19th Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I seen that on the EOSL site earlier as you say not very good for spectators I was there last season for a final and unless you get a spot on the barrier its poor for viewing a game. Shame its not indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Dalkeith Thistle are the next club to announce a move away from the Juniors and into the East of Scotland League.

Poet of the Macabre Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Would absolutely love to see Hearts vs Tynecastle in the Scottish Cup next season. Kelty Hearts vs Dunfermline would be an absolute belter as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under current arrangements they'd have to get through 5 rounds so I wouldn't hold your breath (although LTHV did it in 2014-15). 4 hours ago, Poet of the Macabre said: Kelty Hearts vs Dunfermline would be an absolute belter as well.

HibeeJibee Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Bump. Next season's dates announced:https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/william-hill-scottish-cup-2018-19-dates-confirmed/?rid=2107 Same as this season except R2 & R3 move back 1 week (presumably to avoid clashing with international weekends which have themselves moved back 1 week) and the Final is a week later as no WC or Euros. Interestingly though the Semi-Finals are not a week later, leaving 5 weekends in between - which could mean the split falling the same time as this season, and there being no midweek round after the split. Qualifiers? Comparatively few slots may be used:Senior Qualifiers: East of Scotland League ... Kelty Hearts won, already a licensed SFA member South of Scotland League ... Threave Rovers won, already a licensed SFA member South & East of Scotland Cup-Winners' Shield ... Tynecastle have qualifiedJunior Qualifiers:North Region ... Banks o'Dee won, already a licensed SFA member East Region ... with 4 games left Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic are 4pts clear of Linlithgow Rose who are already a licensed SFA member West Region ... with 4 games left Kilwinning Rangers are 2pts clear of Pollok (with 2 games left) and 5pts clear of Beith - but so many games remain below that anyone down to 8th could in theory prevail Scottish Junior Cup ... Auchinleck Talbot v Hurlford Utd is on Sunday 27th May - but either could theoretically yet win West Region, indeed Hurlford are 3rd bottom but have only just passed halfwayAmateur QualifierScottish Amateur Cup... Shortlees v Goldenhill is on Sunday 20th May Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic are leaving the East Juniors for the EOS League. Therefore if they prevail will in the same way as Kelty Hearts last season actually compete in the cup as a senior club. I suppose it's also possible that if the Highland League falls to 17 members (through either Cove Rangers being promoted / Fort William resigning) a vacancy election could be held, and Banks o'Dee also enter the senior grade. Kelty Hearts obtained their license and membership earlier in the season. Either they or Threave Rovers will be promoted to the Lowland League (which currently confers starting in R1) with Hawick and possibly Vale of Leithen/Dalbeattie Star being relegated from the Lowland League (which would currently mean the gauntlet of the Preliminary). It has been reported that 2 clubs received either their licence and/or their membership last month - with rumour that Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale were one - but the lack of announcement from the SFA, or either club, can perhaps indicate only part of the process has been completed... Usually a club had to be in membership by the end of June to be included in the draw for the Preliminary following in early July. Fort William are considering resigning from HL to join the North Caledonian League. This would be withdrawing from the pyramid but I doubt it would affect their licence or membership. For now Tynecastle are the only confirmed debutant. They currently share Saughton Enclosure with LTHV but are moving to Boroughmuir RFC's Meggetland Rugby Stadium.
