Newtongrange Star 3-2 Penicuik Athletic A game of two halves for sure, but not in the traditional sense of one team coming from behind to peg back another. On this occasion, a dour, tense battle of attrition in the first half gave way to an open, attractive and exciting second period culminating in a thrilling finish, particularly for those of a Star persuasion. After two minutes, Mungall played a nice […]

Edinburgh South 4-0 Tweedmouth Rangers A significant game at Kings Park Dalkeith with the visitors from Tweedmouth crossing the border (but for how long ?) looking for their first points of the season, whilst for Edinburgh South, the prospect of moving up to fifth in the Conference beckoned. With a minute on the clock, Graham wriggled his way into the South box and a challenge on him saw the ball […]

Preston Athletic 3-2 Hawick Royal Albert United On a pitch which resembled chocolate brownie in places, we were never going to get silky, quality football but what Preston and Hawick produced tonight was a throwback Scottish Cup tie full of commitment, guts and brilliant entertainment for those lucky enough to be present. Within a minute, a long ball down the left flank saw Murray cut in and curl a 25 […]

Bonnyrigg Rose 3-0 Edinburgh University It’s as you were at the top of the Lowland League tonight, with leaders Kelty winning convincingly at Ainslie Park whilst Bonnyrigg kept up the chase with a comfortable win against a spirited Edinburgh University side at New Dundas Park. With a minute gone, Young played the ball down the wing to Brett who cut in and sent an angled 20 yard left foot drive […]

Edinburgh University 1-2 Tranent Juniors A historic day for the men from East Lothian who took part in their first ever Scottish Cup tie and it was Tranent who eventually came out on top against their Lowland League opponents Edinburgh University in a game which never really hit any great heights but as they say about Cup ties, it’s all about the result. A minute was on the clock as […]

Within the first minute, a through ball towards the Thistle penalty area saw Maughan pulled up for offside. A […]
