Letham Amateurs (sponsored by Saints Social Club, Barossa Street. Tower Ridge Adventure Clothing. DRC Contracts) Last week the Tangies defeated Jeanfield Swifts by four goals to two after extra time to reach the semi-final of the Perth & District Cup. A last minute goal by Balmoral meant the team had to share the points in their league match. A point that puts the team a nose in front for league honours. On Saturday the team face Perth United in the semi-final of the P & D cup. As Seven Acres is being dug up this game is likely to be played on the North Inch.
