Can't see a  problem there !

I was at the 1973 final - Cambuslang 3 Linlithgow 1 but can't remember anything about it.

My fist memory was Linlithgow beating Bo'ness 5-0 or 5-1. Was midweek and Billy Newbury - I think - scored a hat trick.

 

That was the 1974 final. We lost to the Meadow in 1973. Eric Morris won that for them, good player, ended up at Ibrox

right behind the goals we'd a guy played centre half called barry mordue
and i'm sure he came from cambuslang , would he be the son off jack mordue ?
also i'm sure Tommy Morrison was from kilsyth?

Hi KR.

TBH, not sure if that was his son, though the name Mordue is pretty rare & being a CH is a bit of a coincidence!!

Although I was around 10-11 yrs old when I was brought up on these guys , I seem to remember they signed Tommy Morrison From Kilsyth? My dad was from Cambuslang, hence the allegiance.
