Always difficult to legislate for trialists. I try to capture as many names as possible but not always available. So he may have turned out in those circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Brown Cup Semi-Final time in 1978 and the opponents were Tranent, who had home advantage. This did not stop the BU's as they reached the final by 2-1. Tom Balanowski and an Ian Miller penalty did the needful. The side was: Ferguson, Robertson, McNulty, Stewart, Taylor, Miller, Anderson, Balanowski, McQueen, Craw, Eddie subs Shields, Breen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo'ness Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Doubt any of you will have been at the teaser game but just a wee test anyway. Back in 1950 the BU's hosted the 'oldest' club in the world and won 3-1. Who were they? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll suggest it was a club which was not originally a football club, but played something else like Queens Park being originally a cricket club. eg Kilsyth curling club claim to be the oldest in the world but they never started a football section for when the ice melted in the Spring. I don't really believe their claim in any case! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clue is it was a friendly against an English club from the North. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a small tour up here in 1950, even playing Kilmarnock. We beat them 3-1 with George Dick scoring a couple and Willie Gardiner getting the other. Got another couple of 'interesting' friendlies up my sleeve for the days ahead! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Can I also mention the info provided recently by John Spowart. This has meant another two results have been removed (and two amended) from the missing list and we are now down to a handful.

Jambo'ness Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 1983 and we have a Junior Cup 6th round tie at home to Kirkintilloch Rob Roy.

The team was: Kirkwood, Dunleavie, Breen, Wilson (Young), Forster, Wilkes, Shields, Balanowski, Beaton (Dunn), Miller, Reid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo'ness Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 I have another friendly match for today. Played in 1971, the BU's again lined up against English opposition. If anybody can name them, I'll be most impressed. To maybe shoogle some cobwebs in the brain, the score was 8-2 to the BU's and there were seven different scorers. Eric Logan got a double, the rest came from Dave McOwat, George Cunningham, Colin Alexander, Eric Sinclair, Jimmy McGregor and a Hamish Simpson penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
