I'm looking forward to the trip to Broxburn. Carnoustie & Loch Ness both have much weaker opposition in this round should they reach it. Fort William & Tayport will both be up against it with very tough draws. Golspie should have a decent chance but they face a very long journey all the way down to Hawick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I see Fort have pumped Orkney 7-1, a decent side when I saw them last season. Clydebank might not have the easy ride they're expecting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 I just realised I never put the results of the extra preliminary round in here. So here are all "northern" results so far, both northern clubs lost in the first preliminary round. First preliminary round:Carnoustie Panmure 1-2 BeithLuncarty 3-1 Loch Ness Second preliminary round:Broxburn Athletic 3-0 Lochee UnitedCulter 3-2 Blackburn UnitedFort William 1-10 ClydebankHawick Royal Albert 1-2 Golspie SutherlandHill of Beath Hawthorn 0-1 Tayport A mixed bag of results, Lochee United had the toughest draw and didn't manage to beat a strong Broxburn side. Culter & Tayport both had good wins against strong EOS sides, Golspie's long journey didn't harm them as they managed to beat hosts Hawick. Fort William meanwhile didn't carry their good league form into the cup and got a hammering form Clydebank. Culter, Golspie & Tayport will join the 18 Highland League clubs in the first round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

not man of the match Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Fair enough! When you go 1-0 down though, you do start to think ‘oh shit’!! Edited September 3, 2023 by not man of the match 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean strong in comparison to their northern opposition. I'd personally say that the standard in the EOS First Division is generally higher than the North Premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be massive favourites for it at the bookies though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
