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:
“To seduce a woman famous for strict morals, religious fervour and the happiness of her marriage: what could possibly be more prestigious?”
—Christopher Hampton (b. 1946)
“There is not enough exercise in this way of life. I try to make up by active gymnastics before I dress when I get up, by walking rapidly in the lower hall and the greenhouse after each meal for perhaps five to ten minutes, and a good hand rubbing before going to bed. I eat moderately; drink one cup of coffee at breakfast and one cup of tea at lunch and no other stimulant. My health is now, and usually, excellent.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“But the life of Spirit is not the life that shrinks from death and keeps itself untouched by devastation, but rather the life that endures it and maintains itself in it. It wins its truth only when, in utter dismemberment, it finds itself.... Spirit is this power only by looking the negative in the face, and tarrying with it. This tarrying with the negative is the magical power that converts it into being. This power is identical with what we earlier called the Subject.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
