R(.JM Our association with the Scottish Junior Football Association has now spanned five years and during this time ,_the tournament has gone from strength to strength each year . A great deal of the credit for this must go to Joe Black , Secretary of the SJFA, and his team who have worked exceptionally hard throughout the season to ensure the continuing success of the tour­ nament. As sponsor of the Cup, O.V.D. Rum is particularly ap­ preciative of their contribution , much of which is behind the scenes. We would also like to acknowledge the support of all the clubs and regional SJFA officials over the years . Like junior football, O.V.D. Rum has a proud heritage in Scotland , Insurance Brokers and Independent Financial and the Cup has done a tremendous job in maintaining and developing increased awareness of O.V.D. - Scotland 's leading dark rum. Advisers This afternoon , however , our thoughts are with Glenafton and Tayport, who have done excep­ tionally well in reaching the Final. We wish them both the best of luck and look forward to an exciting game! ALEX CAIRNIE, OFFICIALINSURANCE ADVISERS Sales Director Scotland, 0 . V.D.

For a lengthy period of time there had been a tradition of Firhill semi-finals , resurrected again this year , but it is indeed an honour to have our ground chosen as the venue for the final tie of such a prestigious tournament. It was always Partick Thistle on a Saturday , but as a very young boy I remember DRAMPACLTD being taken on spring and summer evenings to see such as Maryhill , Maryhill Harp, Perthshire, Ashfield and Petershill , and I have retained a keen interest in the Junior game ever since, and that's a very long time.
