What a great day for the players, fans and committee. The players were fantastic and deserve all the praise for the victory. Caley Braves are a good side and are doing well thus far in the Lowland league.

Hopefully this current form can continue and the lads can continue to challenge in the cups and league.

It has been a considerable time since Dunipace have been in the semi final of a cup. The club is a million miles away from where we were this time 2 years ago, both on the park and off it.

Exciting times!

Ou, stop it you. [emoji846]

Delighted with the boys again tonight. For such a young group they are doing superbly, think most who saw the game would concede 2 or 3 wouldn't have flattered.

And great to do it with one of our development team playing 90 minutes again as well, Livingstone in goal doing well in only his second start, bar one hairy moment second half. [emoji846]

Haha, we had 4 today too. We regularly do. It's what they're there for.

Beat Bonnyrigg in the last round with one of them making his debut in the senior team as we were missing 6 on that day (he played 90) and won today with one playing 90 in goal due to suspension too.

All part of the game. [emoji846]

Aye, I wasn't being overly flippant or anything, it's difficult when you're going up against teams from above with so many missing, particularly in key areas.

 

We've been fortunate that the boys who have come in on those occasions have done really well and have had good experience for our group around them, but it doesn't always go that way by any means. Sometimes the making of the young lads though, that's the positive, win or lose its great experience for them.

BSCG 1-1 Kelty (aet, FT 1-1)

Caledonian Braves 0-1 Dunipace
East Kilbride 5-0 Camelon
Hill of Beath 5-1 Tranent



So your Semi-Finalists are BSC Glasgow, East Kilbride, Hill of Beath Hawthorn and Dunipace... latter who undoubtedly claim 'shock-of-the-day'.

Whens the last time Dunipace made the semis of a cup? Assume it's the Central Sectional Cup of 89-90 that they went on to win.
That's what we are working off. So yes it's been a while.

Really pleased for the club.

In all fairness, its march, the club is still fighting for trophies on multiple fronts, including still being very much in the mix for the league.

It will be an exciting end to the season for the club and its supporters.

1998 I think, when winning the Evening times cup.

In context though (and I realise this could be seen as controversial but not the intention, just comparing available competitions) the South Challenge is the "biggest" cup in the Lowland Region, rather than an "additional" cup like the evening times was.

So comparing with the Junior Cup, it has been a long, long time since making the Semi Final of that. Since winning the competition in 1906, they made the final in 1913 (losing) and last made the semis in 1979.

It's a feat that no one at the club is taking lightly, regardless of what happens from here on in. Another good news story following our "rebirth" as a senior club two years ago.

I remember watching Dunipace in the Junior Cup semi final at a packed Brockville, which went to a second replay. The crowds seemed to get bigger for each game, although the published attendance in the newspaper got smaller! 12,000, 10,000 and 8000 were given. Bit of jiggery pokery going on, I think 🤫 Dodgy lot at Falkirk.

Aye, that will have been 1979 versus Ballieston. Contested over 3 games.

Would be nice if we got a home game and that gate for this Semi final!! [emoji85][emoji1787]

BSC Glasgow 1-0 East Kilbride

BSCG win last season's Semi-Final courtesy a goal just after the hour from Darren Christie.


BSCG won this cup in 2014-15... and last reached the Final in 2017-18. They will now meet Hill of Beath Hawthorn or Dunipace in last season's Final on Sunday 14th March. Those teams are slated to play their Semi-Final on Wednesday 3rd February if no Saturday becomes available.

This edition was first suspended in March last year when the national emergency began.

It had both SFs + Final outstanding which were held-over into 2020-21... Final was set for March 14th or 28th in hope of a crowd being permitted.

BSCG-East Kilbride completed their SF on Christmas weekend, while Hill of Beath-Dunipace + Final remain outstanding.

They've been held-over again into early 2021-22... Final will now be played at Linlithgow on Sunday 15th August.
