HibeeJibee Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hard-fought final. Kelty had more chances - several times Preston cleared the ball off the line or relied on a last-ditch block - but the Panners were never out of it and battled to the end. It was harsh on either to lose but someone has to. Preston opener was definitely a penalty as I was near it - Kelty's equaliser was up the other end but there didn't seem to be many protests. Preston got the ball in the net right on FT but it was ruled out for offside. Extratime was a case of more heat than light albeit Preston's CB had to sacrifice himself for a professional foul and 2nd yellow card to stop a breakaway attack after his fullback freshaired a clearance. Penalties then and Kelty's taker #2 overcooked his shot, clipped the crossbar and over. Preston's surviving CB had #5 to win it but blazed wildly out of the ground. Preston 'keeper almost pulled off a save but as a rather dishevelled Preston sub came up for #8 you started to worry and the Kelty stop won it for the Fifers, becoming "King Cup Kings".

Bye in R1; losing 2-0 at home in R2 before declared a friendly for fog (and was then abandoned for fighting) won rearranged game 4-0; lost 1-0 at home in SF but opponent played an ineligible player won replayed game 3-0; Final finished drawn, were losing replay 2-1 but abandoned for heavy rain, next 2 rearranged games both finished drawn, Bo'ness then refused to appear for the 3rd replay (and 5th match) so Bathgate were awarded the cup!

Ginaro Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 @HibeeJibee Is there a difference between the EoS League Cup and King Cup in terms of teams entered? Or is it only the format/time of the season which sets them apart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Same teams... EOS League Cup is for clubs which progress from the EOS Qualifying League sections - which have opened the season since the start of the decade. (Before that the EOS League Cup was straight knockout for a few years and before that the sections were part of the EOSLC: the EOSQL was established to avoid players getting cuptied and allow the fielding of trialists). King Cup is "the FA Cup of the East of Scotland" and is always straight knockout in the spring. Final usually the last Saturday of the season. LL clubs stayed for their first season when no playoffs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
