Threave Rovers come into this Saturday's match on the back some very impressive cup results this season. In particular the 6-1 home win against Pollok in the Scottish Gas Men's Scottish Cup Second Round and another 6-1 home win against Renfrew in The Scottish Communities Cup third round. In the third round of the South Challenge Cup, The Rovers defeated WoSFL Premier Division side Drumchapel United 5-0 at Donald Dewar Centre.
In their last match, The Rovers defeated Ardeer Thistle 4-1 at Ardeer Stadium in the WoSFL First Division on Saturday 7th November. A hattrick from the impressive Harry Officer and a late strike from Ross Irving sealed the three points in North Ayrshire.
Johnstone Burgh's Cup results have also been impressive this season. In the previous two rounds of the South Challenge Cup, The Burgh defeated WoSFL Division Three side Saint Anthony's FC 2-0 at McKenna Park, and another WoSFL Division Three side Eglinton FC 7-1 at Keanie Park thanks to a Thomas Orr hattrick, an Aaron Mason double, and further goals from Ben Brown and Zak McKay.
In our last match, we lost 3-1 to Clydebank at Keanie Park in the Scottish Lowland Football League West on Saturday 7th November.
See you in Castle Douglas on Saturday.
