Match preview - Scottish Power National Cup Quarter Final

Sunday 24th November 

Dryburgh Athletic Women v Inverurie Locos

Match-Day Sponsor -https://angusscaffolding.co.uk/

We take a break from the league this Sunday, with our girls in league cup action against League One side Inverurie Locos Ladies. The competition, which this year is being sponsored by Scottish Power, sees our visitors from Aberdeenshire head down the A90 to New Beechwood Park in what will surely be an exciting and challenging match. 

Our visitors head into the game after winning 7-0 last weekend against Dundee West in very cold conditions. That result puts them 4th in the League One table, but only 3 points behind leaders St Mirren. Since the weekend the north of Scotland has been blasted by blizzards, so no doubt our visitors will be looking forward to getting back on the pitch - meanwhile the Dundee area has managed to escape the worst of the wintry weather. 

Meanwhile our girls head into the game after last weekend’s gutsy performance away to Westdyke. Going behind in the first half, ‘Burgh fought back and in the end were 2-1 winners, thanks to a wonderful rocket shot to win the game from young Aoife Gauld, which sailed high into the net from 20 metres out. 

Both teams will be looking forward to the game and hoping to advance to the semi final, and we are hoping for a big crowd to cheer on the teams.
