[Musselburgh Athletic F.C 2019/20]

Good game against Tranent on Saturday, with a draw being a fair result.   They were perhaps the better team in the first half, but it was the Burgh on top after half time.  Both teams had chances to score .

Onwards and upwards for the Burgh

Aberdeen were cup holders when they came to Sanquhar.   Nithsdale had the misfortune to have me as one of two mascots at the game.

The Hibs Famous Five made their first ever appearance together in a friendly at Sanquhar. I remember Tommy Younger also played in the game. I was there and Hibs won 7-2 if my memory serves me correctly.
