Linlithgow head to seaside on East Cup duty

Nov 20 2008 by Eric MacKinnon, West Lothian Courier

SUPER League leaders Linlithgow Rose are on East of Scotland Cup duty this weekend when they travel to Musselburgh.

They are a side who have caused problems for Rose in the past but given their current rich vein of form, the West Lothian side should start as favourites.

Blackburn face a local derby with Bathgate their opponents.

And with the visitors having a poor season so far Blackburn will fancy their chances.

Whitburn host a Broxburn side still smarting from that shock defeat at Dunbar last week.

But like Bathgate, the Burnie are having an inconsistent spell which will give the lower league side belief they can pull off an upset.

Harthill are at home to Kirkcaldy and are confident they can beat the Fifers.

West Calder travel to Fife for their game against Super League side Glenrothes. They will need to be at their best to see off the new town side.

Fauldhouse are on their travels to Oakley in the Premier League where they will believe they can win and take a big step towards safety.

Livingstone are at home to Edinburgh in the South Division while Stoneyburn face a tricky tester at Haddington.

Pumpherston host Dalkeith with top of the table Armadale at home to struggling Sauchie.
