Holders Falkirk have National League Cup quarter-final berth in own hands
@Source: falkirkherald.co.uk
The Sunnyside outfit – who are current holders of the trophy after last summer’s Murrayfield final win over Lasswade – currently sit second in their National League Cup Pool 7 ahead of this weekend’s trip to Howe of Fife. And they know that they need to chalk up a win by 14 points or more while securing a four-try bonus point. If they can do that, then they’ll overtake Kirkcaldy who currently occupy top spot, setting up a home tie against Berwick in the process. “It is simple: we know that we can set up a quarter-final against Berwick on Saturday, March 29 if we beat Howe of Fife by 14 points or more,” Falkirk’s director of rugby Kenny Grieve said. "It is to our benefit really, I don’t think we can hide away from that. You’d rather know what you had to do, and be in a position to do it than be Kirkcaldy having to sit and wait on another match’s outcome. "I’m sure they’ll be keeping an eye on our game during their National 2 fixture this Saturday, that’s for sure.” If Falkirk progress, their semi-final would be on Saturday, April 5. Following that, the Sunnyside outfit, who sit comfortably third in the table, round off their National 2 campaign with a rearranged trip to Lasswade on Saturday, April 12. Super Saturday is on April 19 with Falkirk hoping to final their season at Murrayfield once again. Have you got a story you want to share with our readers?
