Jambo'ness Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 A wee cup final teaser to test everyone. Penicuik is of course now a 'senior' venue. How many other senior grounds have Bo'ness played cup finals on. To avoid confusion, it had to have been the home of a senior team at the time. If you can come up with totals all the better but include replays! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
