Scottish Cup
Amateurs (4) v Craigie (0)
Following defeat the previous week and suffering defeats last season by Craigie, the team were a bit apprehensive about their first round Scottish cup tie at Seven Acres. Craigie winning the toss took advantage of the stiff breeze blowing down the pitch in the first half and had much of the early pressure without troubling the home defence. However as the game progressed the Tangerines playing the better football scored in the 35th and 44th minutes for a comfortable half-time lead. In the second half with the elements in their favour Letham dominated the proceedings and only allowed Craigie spasmodic raids on goal. Further goals in the 70th and 89th minutes secured their place in the next round.
