The new season for SFL clubs got underway yesterday with the 1st round of the ALBA Challenge Cup , there were shocks , none bigger than at Starks park when Jimmy Nicholl returned to haunt his old club Raith Rovers , who were beaten 1-0 by Cowdenbeath , there were also wins for Dunferline who saw off Arbroath 1-0 , Ross County who beat fellow highlanders Elgin 2-1 and Peterhead ran out 5-0 winners by thrashing Montrose.
ALBA cup holders Dundee had to come from behind to beat a spirited Alloa 2-1 , Partick Thistle also beat old neighbours Clyde 2-1 whilst Stirling won their derby with Falkirk 3-1 on penalties after a 0-0 draw,
Match of the round was at Bayview where East Fife beat Brechin 4-3 in a 7 goal thriller after extra time , there were other high scoring matches at Hampden as Queens Park bested Livingston 3-2 and in Stenhousmuir the home team beat Annan Athletic 3-2.
Other scores on the first game of the season were , Airdrie losing to Ayr 2-1 , Queen of the South beating Albion Rovers 2-1 and East Stirling making the long journey to Dumfries to win in extra time 2-1 against Stranraer.
Sundays only match was a local derby between Dumbarton and Morton where there was no goals before Morton won on a penalty shoot-out 4-3.
Now more bragging from ME , my tips in my previous post came up (Dundee and QOS) so if you backed it the well done as it should have returned even money , i was able to catch the 2nd half of the matches on the BBC sportsound radio show when i was down in Girvan at the weekend , 2 late goals saved me as Dundee scored in the 90th minute and QOS struck their winner in the 73rd.
This winning money is easy......NOT
