The Scottish Junior Cup Tayport F.C. v Linlithgow Rose www .acasports.co. u k Sponsors Welcome

Welcome to the 15th O.V.D. Cup Final, an all East affair between Tayport and Linlithgow Rose. Neither team are strangers to this competition. For Tayport, newly created in 1990, this will be their 4th final. They were champions in 1996, runners-up in '93 and '97 . An incomparable record given the length of time the Club has been in existence - certainly one of the most successful teams in the O.V.D. Cup era .

Linlithgow Rose however are defending champions and are looking to become the only team in the last 15 years to win back-to-back O.V.D. trophies. The only other team to have done that is Auchinleck Talbot in '91 and '92. However, few Linlithgow fans will forget that it was Auchinleck they defeated in last years final, and it was Auchinleck they thrashed 6-1 en route to today's showdown.

The pitch is set for a classic encounter and it's too close to call - two teams with the highest Cup credentials going head-to-head to determine the home for the grand old trophy, and the right to be crowned O.V.D. Scottish Junior Cup winners. May the best team win.

The competition is very special to O.V.D. This is the 15th O.V.D. Cup and with a deal in place to take us beyond that landmark, we are delighted to be coming back next year. We enjoy a superb relationship with the Scottish Junior Football Association and we look forward to the 16th O.V.D. Cup in 2003/2004. It is only fitting that Scotland's premier junior football competition should be sponsored by the nations favourite leading dark rum.

O.V.D. would like to say thank you to today's teams and their loyal followers for all their support and enthusiasm . George Thomson On behalf of O.V.D. Rum
