Getting To The Semi Final

Tomorrow night Saints take on Haldane United of the SAFL Premier Division 1 in the Semi Final of The Jimmy Marshall Trophy at McKenna Park, Glagow.

Saints Route to the Semi Final

Round 1 - Saints 4 - 1 Port Glagow OBU, 8th December 2012. With the grass parks frozen solid goals from Ross Maitland, Willie Gemmell, Craig MacEwan and Lewis Cameron gave Saints a convincing home win on the all weather 3G pitch at Oban High School.

 

Round 2 - Saints 9 - 1 Carlton YM, 7th April 2013. Playing their second home match of that particular weekend Saints had little trouble in overcoming their Premier Division 2 opposition. A blistering start saw Saints race into a 4 - 0 lead after 20 minutes from which they never looked back. Scorers for Saints were Donald Campbell (4), Willie Gemmell (2), Paul Kerr, Keith Millar and, with his first for the club, Sonin Kurishita. 

 

Round 3 - Saints 2 - 1 Postal United. For the 3rd consecutive round Saints were drawn at home but this time against far more formidable opposition. Postal United came to Oban, not only as holders of The Jimmy Marshall Trophy, but as treble winners which makes the Saints win all the more impressive. Scorers for Saints were Donald Campbell and Willie Gemmell taking their goals haul in this competition to 5 and 4 respectively.

 

 

The oppostion

Looking rather menacing in the image above, Haldane United from Balloch compete in the SAFL Premier Division 1 and are still firmly in the hunt for promotion to the Premier Division. Haldane's passage to the semi-final has been relatively comfortable with convincing home wins over Shawlands (7 - 2), Rutherglen (3 - 1) and Paisley (4 - 0).

How to YOU get there?

That's how the teams managed it but how do you get there?

McKenna Park is on Fulbar Road in the Cardonald area of Glasgow. Just tap G51 4HU into your SAT-NAV and follow the friendly voice's instructions.

If you don't have that technology follow your own nose along the M8 to the Braehead turn off. McKenna park is just along the road from there.

If all else fails find this mini-bus and follow it!

Hope to see you there! #monthesaints
