Blowin In the Wind Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Broxburn played really well for 50 odd minutes and then managed the game really well for the last 40. Talbot didn’t help himself by getting a man sent off just before half-time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Leith not happy their SRCC game is two days before Christmas, though with the next round on 3rd February and Threave playing on 20th January one of Threave's league games would have to make way. https://leithathleticeos.co.uk/club-statement-south-challenge-cup-4th-round/ Quote Leith Athletic are disappointed that the rearranged tie in the South Challenge Cup has been rescheduled for Saturday 23/12/23 at 2pm. The tie is away to Threave Rovers who play in Castle Douglas, Dumfries. When I got the email from the Challenge Cup secretary nearly two weeks ago I queried this immediately. The 23/12/23 is a designated free week in East of Scotland football and has been since the fixtures were announced in the summer. Our players have family plans, holidays and most have just finished work the day before so many have Christmas work nights out organised . I also noted to the secretary that there are two other rescheduled 4th round ties and they are both scheduled for 20/1/24 – one of the ties is just 15 miles apart …. I asked for an explanation why we are being asked to travel on a free week for over 3 hours on 23/12/23 when a tie 15 miles apart is cast on 20/1/24 . I am frustrated and angry to write we have not had the courtesy of any explanation. I have requested this several times in the last few days . We have worked very hard on the pitch to get to this round and cost us a good sum financially but we will be playing this game without a full squad for no real reason. The club, our players and supporters deserve so much better. Ger Freedman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other 2 rescheduled games allocated to 20 Jan, a cup date in EoSL calendar. Leith told to play 23 Dec - a free date in EoSL calendar. Leith tie the furthest apart travel distance wise by a long way. Rediculous to ask a team to travel 7 hour round trip 2 days before Xmas. Throw in the difficulty in accessing a bus for 23 Dec & the cost (a lot higher than was being asked for the bus when first attempt to play game was cancelled ON THE DAY). Threave, a WoSL club, do NOT have a WoSL fixture on 20 Jan. They are due to play Stranraer Reserves that day in a SoSL cup competition. South Cup sec has been extremely uncommunicative in responding to Leith's requests for an explanation. Quite why a WoSL team are playing in a minor SoSL competition is a puzzle in itself. South Cup sec, who lives not far from Castle Douglas where Threave play, is part of the SoSL Board & is sec for the SoSL minor cup competition too. Interestingly there are NO SoSL fixtures scheduled for tomorrow & only 3 in WoSL. Not surprising given players etc under pressure with families etc so close to Xmas. I would have thought South Cup took preference to a minor local cup never mind the SoSL/Wosl conflict. Leith have been treated appallingly & have had little back up from the EoSL who weren't even in possession of all the fixture facts until yesterday &Thursday). I think Threave have saw an opportunity to gain an advantage as soon as Leith queried the date & have enrolled a friendly face in the shape of the South Cup sec to insist on the game being played 23 Dec. Whole thing stinks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole thing stinks. Nothing wrong with the other two games being played on 20th January, as there's no LL or EOS league fixtures scheduled yet so the cup games can get priority. WOS games being played tomorrow to help ease fixture congestion, but no need for Leith to travel when the 20th is an option. I'm sure when I last looked on the WOS website that Threave had a game on the 20th, but now they (and Bellshill) are the only teams without a game that weekend. However if you look at Bellshill's Facebook page, 3 days ago they posted their fixture list which had them playing Threave at home on the 20th! So how did Threave get that changed with the WOS to allow a SCFA cup game to take precedence? Edited December 23, 2023 by Ginaro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DannyBlue Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Disappointing the dismal way Leith has been treated, I hope, even though it is too late now, that those in charge eventually show a bit of belated courage and explain themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 Dunbar 0-1 Cumbernauld Colts Kennoway P-P St Andrews Took myself up New Countess where a fierce contest saw the visitors first half strike - a rampaging charge from midfield well finished - see them through. Hosts had penalty shouts waved away, competed well, dominated last 30mins, and flashed header to force ET wide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Tuesday 30th January (R4) St Andrews 0-2 Kennoway Saturday 3rd February Cowdenbeath 0-6 East Kilbride Johnstone Burgh 1-2 Threave Rovers Kennoway Star Hearts P-P Ashfield Kilwinning Rangers 3-2 Shotts Bon Accord Kirkintilloch Rob Roy 4-1 Pollok Rutherglen Glencairn 0-0 Cumbernauld Colts (aet, 3-4p) Tranent 4-1 Broxburn Athletic Troon 3-0 Caledonian Braves Tranent outclassed Broxburn on an initially blustery afternoon before several hundred at Foresters. They led 2-0 at break courtesy a stroked home effort and penalty... then added 2 more with a tap-in and header both from left wing crosses. Athletic got their consolation from a neat curving header. Kennoway - whose tie v Ashfield was off, after burst pipes flooded the dressing rooms - are last EOSL side standing in what's turned-out a disappointing campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
