Cup & Plate Weekend

ERSDA LEAGUE CUP

This weekend is packed with cup and plate action as teams from across the ERSDA 2010 divisions battle it out for silverware! The action kicks off tonight (8th March) with a local derby between Johnstone Burgh and Thorn Athletic as they both look to progress to the semi final of the Division Two ERSDA cup competition. The match kicks off at 7:45pm at Mossedge in Linwood and is sure to be a very competitive match. The last time these two teams met was a six goal thriller in the league which seen both teams take a point each, however tonight there must be a winner and the dreaded penalty shoot out may be required to separate the sides should neither of them find a winning goal in normal time.

Tomorrow has some exciting ties also with two matches in the Division One ERSDA league cup taking place, high flying Stamperland look unbeatable just now but this is the cup and anything can happen as they travel to Barrhead hoping to repeat the 3-1 result they had in January. St Cadocs Sporting take on Tass Thistle in the other division one semi final tomorrow, whoever goes through from these matches it’s shaping up to be a great final!
