54andcounting 0 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I couldn't find anywhere on Gersnet a thread on the 'Swifts' efforts in the Reserve League Cup. If this post should be merged with the 'Youths' thread please admin feel free to move it, I'll try to update it as the competition progresses (as long as The Swifts are involved). The competition started on the 11th Feb, the semi-finals were meant to take place on 22nd Apr and Final one week later on the 29th. Because of the weather and multi postponements this will be somewhat later than scheduled. This is the format for the Reserve League Cup: Two sections: East Section â?? This section consists of FIVE clubs each playing their respective opponents twice, (giving each club a total of eight matches). The teams:- Cowdenbeath East Fife Livingston Raith Rovers Stenhousemuir West Section - This section consists of EIGHT clubs each playing their respective opponents once, (giving each club a total of seven matches). The teams:- Airdrie United Annan Athletic Ayr United Morton Partick Thistle Queen of the South Queen's Park Rangers Semi-Finals Winner of East Section v Runner-up of West Section Winner of West Section v Runner-up of East Section West section, Swifts results: 26th Febru..Rangers..3 Q.o.S......3 06th March..Rangers..3 Ayr Utd....0 17th April..Rangers..2 Partick T..0 22nd April..Rangers..4 Annan Ath..2 24th April..Rangers.10 Airdrie....1 25th April..Rangers..3 Morton.....0 The Swifts have already qualified for the semis along with Queens Park who our final match is against on Thursday 9th May, this is how the top two in the West section looks Rangers....6..5..1..0..25..6..16 Queens Pk.5..4..1..0..12..3..13 The top two in the East section are Livingston with 12pts and Stenhousemuir with 8pts, but that section still has a helluva lot of games outstanding, but this wont take too long, you'll notice The Swifts played on the 22nd, 24th & 25th of April to catch up. We are looking like we could well bag this trophy, I'll keep you updated on our progress. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 5,833 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The last time I saw Rangers lift the Reserve League Cup would be almost two decades past. It was a wet and windy evening at old Douglas Park where Rangers triumphed 3-1 after extra time over the Accies. I seem to remember Brian McGinty scored two that night. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Quite a bit of silverware around the club this year, it's just as shame there is no major honours. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 To keep the thread alive I'll post all results as they happen. Tonight in the East section Stenhousemuir won 4-1 against whipping boys Raith Rovers. The East section table as it stands: Livingston........5..4..0..1..14...2..12 Stenhousemuir.7..3..2..2..16..10..11 Cowdenbeath...5..2..1..2...6..10...7 East Fife.........5..2..1..2..10...3...7 Raith Rovers.....6..1..0..5...5..21...3 This lot have to complete 8 games, so nearly there (we'll be playing the team that finishes 2nd) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54andcounting 0 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 East section tonight's scores: Cowdenbeath 3-3 Raith Rovers Stenhousemuir 0-1 Livingston Table: Livingston........7..6..0..1..18...3..18 Stenhousemuir.8..3..2..3..16..11..11 Cowdenbeath...7..2..2..3..10..16...8 East Fife..........5..2..1..2..10...3...7 Raith Rovers.....7..1..1..5...8..24...4 Livingston will finish as section winners. Cowdenbeath and more realistically East Fife can still catch Stenhousemuir who have played all their games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUDE 0 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Interesting competition this. Any stand out kids our end so far? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Last night's game between the Swifts and QP finished 1-1. West Section is now complete... Rangers will be at home in the Semi-Final, and Queen's Park will be away to Livingston. East Fife must play Livingston (14th May) Cowdenbeath (17th May) and Raith (date tba) and if they can obtain 4/5pts or more from those matches they will pass Stenhousemuir to set-up an away tie against the Swifts. The tables: - http://www.scottishfootballleague.com/football/reserve/reserve-football/reserve-tables/ Edit: time has run out to finish off the competition Will more likely be concluded in the build-up towards next season. Ach well. Edit: This Global Warming is one pain in the arse Edited May 10, 2013 by 54andcounting 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 East Fife must play Livingston (14th May) Cowdenbeath (17th May) and Raith (date tba) and if they can obtain 4/5pts or more from those matches they will pass Stenhousemuir to set-up an away tie against the Swifts. East Fife managed to LOSE those games...... Semi finals are Rangers v Stenhousemuir Livingston v Queen's Park... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
