Jambo'ness Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Instead of a teaser, here's a plea for info. On this day in 1969, the BU's travelled to Prestonfield for an R L Rae Cup 3rd round replay. Definitely played on that date but not reported on by the Journal, presumably because Bo'ness won. Can anybody supply match details? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo'ness Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) May 22nd The first huge day in the club's history as the Junior Cup is brought home to Newtown for the first time. The opponents that day at Hampden were Irvine Meadow and in front of a crowd of 55,602, the BU's triumphed 2-1. Paddy Buckley opened the scoring on the hour and although Fullerton equalised on 79 minutes the BU's kept their nerve and clinched the Cup on 86 minutes through Willie Wilson, with a goal described by the Sunday Post as "a finish in a million". The team was: Graham, Mitchell, Keenan, Walls, Stewart, McKie, Wilson, Pinkerton, Buckley, Sproull, Black Edited May 22, 2019 by Jambo'ness 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
