Irvine Meadow Through to 4th Round in Scottish Cup

Local junior football team Irvine Meadow have gone through to the 4th round of the Scottish Cup, after beating senior team Arbroath 1 - 0 at home in Meadow Park. This makes Irvine Meadow the first ever junior team to knock out a senior team. Meadow were clear underdogs as bookies had them at 4-1 to win.

The game's only goal was scored my Meadow's Richard Barr in the 32nd minute, who also went on to be one of the three players booked within 5 minutes of each other.

Irvine Meadow have earned a cool £16,000 by reaching the 4th round of the Scottish Cup and stand to make substantially more if they are drawn with an S.P.L team in the next round.
