Important cup games coming up for Saints

OBAN Saints face tough away cup tie over the next two weeks. On Saturday they travel to take on high-flying Arkleston in the third round of the Jimmy Marshall Cup. The game will be played at Cowan Park with a 2pm kick- off.

The following Saturday the Oban side face another tough test when they travel to Perth to take on Letham for a place in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Amateur Cup. The draw for the last eight of the Scottish Amateur Cup is as follows: Bannockburn v Tullibody Community; Broomhouse v Hurlford Thistle; Cambusnethan Talbot v Barca Milton; Colvillie Park v Thorn Athletic; Craigshill Thistle v Dunblane Thistle; Eastfield v Bowhill Rovers; Giffnock North v Southside; Letham v Oban Saints.

Saints’ league game against Inverclyde due to be played at Rankin Park, Greenock, last Saturday had to be called off on the morning of the game after a pitch inspection found the playing surface to be waterlogged.
