Match preview
Scottish Gas Scottish Women’s Cup 3rd Round
Sunday 8th December
Elgin City Women v Dryburgh Athletic
Sunday sees us take another break from league action, this time for our trip north to Elgin for our 3rd round match in the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup.
Our opponents Elgin City were formed in 2023. They entered SWFL (North) for the 2023-24 season and finished fourth in their first season of competitive football. They are currently second top of the table with two games in hand on leaders Grampian, having won their opening three league games, their most recent being an 8-0 win against Stonehaven last weekend.
In reaching this stage of the Scottish Cup, Elgin have had 3 games, winning 7-2 against St. Anthony's, 6-4 against Linlithgow Rose and a tight 4-3 win against Dunipace Ladies.
Meanwhile Dryburgh joined the competition at the second round stage, winning 5-1 at Meadowbank Stadium against Edinburgh Caledonia. We will be looking to bounce back from last Sunday’s narrow 1-0 defeat in the league away to Championship league leaders East Fife, where we were unlucky losing to a late goal by the home side.
Sunday’s match kicks off at 4pm and takes place at the Gleaner Arena in Elgin. We are looking forward to the match, all supporters welcome!
