(Sun) Broomhill v Cumbernauld Colts

Proved another good day with 6 clubs progressing, which is about what should have been hoped for. Oddly enough this was courtesy a couple of impressive shocks... St Andrews disposing of falling giants Auchinleck, plus Luncarty swatting away Keith... which more than counterbalanced a disappointing loss for Dundonald. Unpleasant margins of defeat for Dalkeith, Penicuik and Whitehill while Camelon, Dunipace and Sauchie all came very close.

A fairly easy win for Jeanfield in the end, they were the better team. Worth watching the highlights for the second Jeanfield goal from a free kick (well it looked good from my vantage point, the pie queue..).

Atmosphere was provided by five refreshed Jeanfield fans (there was a healthy away support) and there was a presentation to Wick's manager before kick off for playing a hugely impressive 700 games for the club

Big contingent of clubs representing Aberdeenshire, not so many from Glasgow City, surprisingly only 3 teams from Ayrshire equaling East Lothian’s galant 3. Lanarkshire well represented, Perthshire with a couple. Fife have a surprisingly low number of 3. West Lothian represented by Brox and Bo’ness. Angus with a couple, Scottish Borders hopes resting on Gala. 
Is the demographic profile changing?

Deveronvale v Broxburn Athletic
Dunbar United v East Fife
Jeanfield Swifts v Elgin City
Luncarty v Bo'ness United
Musselburgh Athletic v Clyde
Uni of Stirling/Albion Rovers v St Andrews United



Some attractive ties as Dunbar, Jeanfield and Musselburgh all host SPFL clubs for first time.

Tough for Luncarty.

Broxburn a good chance as may those other 3 with their visitors struggling afoot SPFL2.

We’ve been drawn away to Musselburgh in Rnd 2 which I’m very much looking forward to.

any recommendations for pubs & food in and around the ground?

Great draw for you. That’s a good day out! Very nice ground. Quite compact so will be buzzing with a bigger than normal crowd in.

Ground is only really occupied 1.5-2 sides around (two-thirds down either length, and can only use behind one goal). Not massively different to Clydebank in terms of areas used.

Pubs - Staggs is a brilliant pub, that’s where I’d go. Ship Inn is a smidge closer to the ground. Auld Brig a bit closer again. Also a Wetherspoons not very far from the ground.

Food - loads of choices. Lanna Thai is the first one I thought of. 

Nice beach and harbour to walk around if you’re wanting to make a day of it.

If this one is picked for telly I’ll be there also, but I’ll be picking Cumnock v Turriff for my Saturday game.

I would annoy my mate and fill Staggs full of Clyde fans - they do a nice pint.

If you like ice cream then S Luca is the East Coast Nardinis although it's not particularly near Olive Bank. They also do food.

Story so far:

Abbey Vale V CUPAR

JEANFIELD v Cupar

Wick v JEANFIELD

Jeanfield v Elgin

After a weekend away and ticking off Harmsworth Park a return trip to Perth is OK and I'll get a pie this time. It's an interesting tie certainly and if Elgin win and get a home tie that's fine by me as Borough Briggs is one of my favourite grounds

Store club next to the ground still open?

Be ideal for away fans to book in there?
