Johnstone Burgh welcome Eglinton FC to Keanie Park for this Saturday’s (10th October) South Region Challenge Cup Third Round tie writes John Armour.
Eglinton FC currently sit in 11th position on the WoSFL Third Division table, with a record of two wins, three defeats and three draws from their opening eight fixtures. In the previous round of the South Region Challenge Cup, ‘The Jousters’ defeated East of Scotland Football League Second Division side Inverkeithing Highland Swifts 6-2 at Dalgety Bay Sports & Leisure Centre, thanks to goals from Nathan Duffy, Sean Davis as well as doubles from Liam Davis and Abdul Jumba.
Johnstone Burgh’s South Region Cup campaign started with a 2-0 win against WoSFL Division Three side Saint Anthony’s FC at McKenna Park, thanks to goals from Max Kerr and Malky McDonald.
In the Burgh’s last match we came from behind to defeat Newton Stewart FC at Blairmount Park in the first round of the Scottish Gas Men’s Scottish Cup. Two goals from Broque Watson and a Max Kerr strike sealed Stevie Farrell’s men’s place in the next round, where we will play Highland League side Formartine United FC at Keanie Park on Saturday 24th October with a 3pm kick off.
