Superally Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Its the Reserve Cup Final tonight goodness knows if we have a sufficient squad who will be sober to play! The Pars have done well in this competition especially against "stronger" competition and tonight's game will be a real test. It might even be difficult to consider who will actually make the squad and the 11 who makes the team. Will it all be youngsters or will there be a few older heads thrown on as well. From a competitive edge Killie still have a lot to play for and it will be interesting to see if a lot of their first team players also make the squad. The Pars youngsters have done incredibly well this season and the cup final is deserved. Hopefully the Pars double their silverware tonight.

Superally Posted May 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Strong Killie team too with Hemming, McInroy, Polworth & Murray. Hope the Youngsters do well and give them the runaround. COYP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superally Posted May 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Ended up 7-0 Killie, Cant say that im hugely happy that Killie fielded a large number of first team players and perhaps our coaches might have added some experience. Its good that our youngsters and they are very young experienced a cup final I just hope they don't come away too disappointed and it plays on them in the future. Well done on getting there. Killies win is slightly tarnished for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA-go Par Adonis Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Probably just a victim of timing. It's a reserve cup. Killie have 5 huge games to play and likely wanted to field a strong side to get those on the fringes some match practice so that they're sharp if required over the next 3 or 4 weeks. We've won the league and are trying to keep our players focused enough to see out one more game. There's probably no merit in playing anyone that could feature on Saturday, nor is there any point in playing someone on the fringes who might not be here next season - for their own good as much as anything else.
