MUSSELBURGH ATHLETIC 1 FORFAR ATHLETIC 2
Scorers: Todd; Morrison, Slater
Attendance: 700
My second visit to Musselburgh to see an early Scottish Cup tie. Exactly one year since my first. This time the opposition was a Scottish League club in Forfar. A lovely bright day just before the clocks go back tonight!
The story of the match was exactly the opposite of last season's tie in that the home side took a first half lead only for the away team to win the match with a second half turnaround. The winner was a very well executed free kick near the end of the 90 minutes.
- A new fixture (number 432)
- 2nd time seeing Musselburgh; 6th time seeing Forfar (1st since season 1989/90)
- The 170th time attending a Scottish Cup tie; the16th not involving Celtic
