Crownpoint United will be up for their next challenge, and hope to continue their fine form, and string together a run of victories.
I spoke to Crownpoint United, and they have said, "What a day yesterday in the Scottish
Things couldn’t have got off to a worse start when Clarky turned up with no strips so a mad dash home to grab another and getting them out for a warm up at 1.45 was not the ideal prep for a Scottish cup tie
We then went out and put on one of our best performances of the season against a team that’s undefeated in all competitions and beat them 3-1 and very comfortably.
The boys stepped up to the task and done exactly what me and wullie asked of them and have now set the bar for whet our season goes from here.
Last 16 of the Scottish who would have thought it eh with the way our run has been.

An incredible win for Glasgow Rovers this weekend, however, a brilliant victory, one they will be proud of, and will take a lot of confidence from this win, and will hope to take the positives into next weekend.
I spoke to Glasgow Rovers manager, David Ramsay, and they have said, "Im absolutely over the moon tonight after todays performance against the league leader. The boys were outstanding.
Evenly balanced game that flew from end to end at great pace but with goals scoring chances few and far between in the early stages. We took the lead direct from a corner from wee hammer. A vicious ball whipped in caught the keeper out and flew in.
Maybe slightly against the run of play but after that we seemed to spark into life and it was a joy to watch.
Theres things i demand from the boys and they were all on show. Fight, heart, spirit,character and commitment. I asked them to go out there and give me a mans performance and every one of them stepped up to the plate and played there hearts out. Proud of them all tonight!
Its only our first victory and im no getting carried away but theres a buzz in the dressing room already and in my experience that can only be a good thing. Long may it continue.
All the best to brunswick for the season. A great bunch of boys that play the game the right way. Hard but fair!"
I also had chance to speak to Brunswick, and they have said, "A defensive error then an incorrect red card as referee didnt know the rule seen us lose out to Glasgow Rovers in a very frustrating day, had enough chances to win 2 games but we didnt take them and Glasgow Rovers took their chance when it came, bad day at office for us but these days happen, we'll look to bounce back next week, take nothing away from Glasgow Rovers who have vastly improved and will take points off alot of teams."

I spoke to East Lane, and they have said, "for the first time this season in our league campaign we've disappointingly dropped points and drew 2-2 with bottom of the league Colquhoun. Colquhoun capitalised on momentary lapse in concentration from the defence and the keeper and punished us with 2 goals in the first 10 minutes something of a curse for East Lane. From there on we picked up the pace and forced pressure upon a tiring Colquhoun side but they were unrelenting and managed to withstand some heavy attacks! We underestimated them and paid the price."

A game with 12 goals, and an excellent win for Eastwood Mearns B, but Summerston Amateurs will bounce back and be hungrier than ever.
I spoke to Stephen Thomson, manager of Eastwood Mearns B, and they have said, "Our team played some great football and truly deserved the 10-2 win. The character of our players really showed in a tough physical game. The football was a joy to behold though and some cracking goals were witnessed.
To concede two sloppy goals due to simple errors showed how in control of the game Eastwood Mearns were.
Summerston did have a red card late in the game but had no bearing on the result.
The boys are already looking forward to training this week and a well deserved club night out before more prep for our next tough match against East Lane."
I also spoke to Summerston Amateurs, and they have said, "Disappointed with the result and the performance we'll needy dust our self's off and try and get the standards up to what's expected from us"
