Musselburgh Athletic 6-2 Linlithgow Rose A beautiful day and a spectacular match at Olivebank as Athletic welcomed Linlithgow Rose and before kick off, the home side suffered a blow when, already denied the presence of the influential Mathu King, they were rocked when captain John McManus pulled up in the warm up and had to drop out of the squad. In the first minute Evans was almost in for Mussy […]

Derek Hall Musselburgh Athletic 1-3 Newtongrange Star An overcast, muggy night at Olivebank and an important Premier fixture between Musselburgh and Newtongrange didn’t disappoint, perhaps a little short on quality but certainly not on excitement. Within 30 seconds the home side had half hearted claims for a spot kick turned down by referee Calder after Evans went down in the box and just seconds later Renton, the Star keeper miskicked […]

Derek Hall Bonnyrigg Rose 6-0 Vale of Leithen A grey but thankfully dry afternoon following heavy morning rain and before kick off, SFA President Rod Petrie was on hand to present the home club with their licence signalling their historic step up for the first time to the fifth tier of Scottish football. When the action started, a fourth minute free kick picked out Young for the home side who […]

In the third minute a dangerous free kick into the home penalty area from Grant was confidently held by keeper Andrews. After five minutes, both Hunter and S Gray sprung the offside […]

Derek Hall Newtongrange Star 1-10 Auchinleck Talbot A hot, humid day for this challenge match to mark 25 years at New Victoria Park for the home side and the original opening opponents invited back […]

Grey, damp and misty New Dundas Park was the venue for todays South Region Challenge Cup Semi-Final between Bonnyrigg Rose and Stirling University and a great chance for the visitors in the opening few minutes when Slattery should have done much better with a free header from a corner than head over from about six yards. Then in seven minutes, Lyons turned well in the Bonnyrigg box but rather than […]
