Sauchie F.C. - Famous Cup Wins

Famous Cup Wins

Sauchie Juniors won the East Region, St Michael's Cup twice, in 1972 and 1974. After winning the East Dryburgh Cup in Season 1982/83, the team went on to defeat the other Dryburgh winners, Sunnybank, East Kilbride and Auchinleck Talbot to win the National Dryburgh Trophy.

After a barren spell, in season 2002/03 and then again in 2003/04 we won the Fife and Lothian Cup defeating Glenrothes and then Linlithgow Rose the following season.

The furthest Sauchie has gone in the OVD Scottish Cup is the Quarter Final, when we lost 4 - 2 to Newtongrange Star at Newtongrange in 1970.

In season 2001/02 a team composed mostly of Gairdoch United under 21's, under the guidance of Jan Woojek brought Sauchie out of the doldrums. Willie Irvine and then Neil Duffy continued the growth with Alan McGonigal taking over until he moved on to Super league side Camelon.

Grant Brough took over the reins in season 2008/09 finishing third in the league, and continued into 2009/10 season with his back room staff of Myles Allan and Scott Stenhouse.

At the tail end of 2009/10 season Grant and his back room staff were replaced by Fraser Duncan and David Beaton. They took the team to fourth place finish in the league and gave them a good grounding of what the Junior game is about. New signings were made for the start of the new season and a good blend of players came to Beechwood Park.

Famous quotes containing the words famous, cup and/or wins:

    Richard Burton is now my epitaph, my cross, my title, my image. I have achieved a kind of diabolical fame. It has nothing to do with my talents as an actor. That counts for little now. I am the diabolically famous Richard Burton.
    Richard Burton (1925–1984)

    I worked as a waitress till I was fired because I dumped a cup of hot coffee in the lap of a half-drunk guy who was pinching my butt.
    Juli Loesch (b. c. 1953)

    I saw my lady weep,
    And Sorrow proud to be advanced so
    In those fair eyes where all perfections keep.
    Her face was full of woe;

    But such a woe, believe me, as wins more hearts
    Than Mirth can do with her enticing parts.
    —Unknown. I Saw My Lady Weep (l. 1–6)
