Last Saturday’s Scottish Cup victory over West Calder was a welcome boost but I HONOURS HONOURS SENIOR HONOURS also feel it was a good performance. I thought the work rate and the effort from our Scottish Junior Cup Intermediate Cup SFL Division 2 boys was excellent and on this occasion we got the goals our play deserved. Winners : 1941-42 Winners : 1929-30 Champions : 1975/76 Most of our guys played really well but I also thought there were a few outstanding Runners-Up : 2008-09 Central League SFL Division 2 performances in amongst it. The pitch was quite heavy and sometimes those types of cup games can prove very tricky but I thought our lads dominated the game for Sectional League Cup Champions : Runners-Up : 1997/98 long periods. Winners : 2013-14 1934-35,1940-41,1941-42, Spring Cup On Monday night we managed to score another few goals in a friendly with East Runners-Up : 2005-06 1944-45,1949-50. Runners-Up : 1975/76 Kilbride the Lowland League outfit and despite only drawing that game, at least we Central League Cup Intermediate League Stirlingshire Cup can be positive that we are capable of scoring a few goals in back to back fixtures. Winners : 1932-33,1934-35, Winners : 1929-30 Winners : 1978/79 & 1979/80 We’ll now be looking to take that improved form forward into today’s formidable 2009-10, 2011-12, 2013-14 Pompey Cup Scottish Cup Semi-Finalists league challenge against Scottish Junior Cup holders Hurlford. They are a strong outfit with plenty of quality and experience throughout their squad therefore we West of Scotland Cup 1989/90 Winners : 1951-52,1960-61 should expect another difficult game but I’ll be looking for us to build on last week’s Junior Record Victory Winners : 1949-50 Evening Times Cup winning performance as we strive to climb up the table. 9-1 v Thorniewood Runners-Up : 1938-39,1955-56 Winners : 1934-35,1940- There may be a few more changes in the squad over the coming weeks as we 41,1941-42,1944-45, 1949-50.

The trip to West Calder in the Scottish Junior Cup could definitely be classed as a "potential banana skin" given the West Lothian side's previous cup results. But on a really heavy pitch, our players rolled their sleeves up Wish Bankies and turned in an impressive performance to win, in the end, quite comfortably. all the best Almost as pleasing as the players' performance for me was the reception our travelling fans for season gave the boys as they walked off the park at the end of the match. It was warm and spirited 2014-2015 and really appreciated by the whole group. There have been one or two matches this sea- son where our application hasn't been what it should and those have been the most disap- pointing. But generally our players have given their lot and have either came up short or sometimes been unlucky. In the last few weeks though, our application has never been in doubt and while we retain that we will always have a fighting chance. One final point about last week that was brought to my attention. Players who were left out of the squad were seen at the match with a "carry-out" and understandably some of our supporters - the lifeblood of our club - were not happy. I share their feelings. By the time you read this, all our players will have been spoken to about what is expected of them and it's not standing at the side of the pitch drinking alcohol. The point won't be laboured but the commitment made by our fans to the formation, development and contin- ued existence of this club demands a certain level of behaviour by the players who wear our colours. I am pleased to say that I do think ALL our players have been great in terms of how they represent the Bankies but in this instance the standards fell short of what we ex- pect. Today we welcome Hurlford United to Holm Park as we chase our first league win. Please give the boys your best support.
