S2E6: "The Tunnel of Love" - 2026 Grill League Cup Round 1 Review
After what has felt like ages, Grant and Dave were back together for this latest NOSFL podcast. The 1st round of the Grill Cup got underway this weekend and defending champions Bridge of Don Thistle got off to the perfect start with a 5-1 win over Aberdeen East End on Friday night. Dave was at the match and spoke to Mikey Bruce after the game. On Saturday, Culter, Dyce and Maud made safe passages through to Round 2 while Stonehaven had to come from behind to see off Longside by the odd goal in three. There was some positive results for Championship clubs this weekend in the Grill League Cup with Buckie Rovers, Westdyke CC Juniors, Stoneywood Parkvale and Nairn St Ninian all recording victories while Colony Park came through past Islavale in a 10 goal thriller as it rained goals in Keith. Lossiemouth United's renaissance continued under Ross Archibald and Connor McKenzie as they saw off New Elgin 2-0 while Newmachar United beat Fraserburgh United by the same scoreline. There was also a strong current of goals in Peterhead as Buchanhaven Hearts saw off Rothie Rovers 5-1. There were also two penalty shootouts to dissect from the weekend's action. Deveronside saw off Glentanar in Banff while Grant was at The Meadows to see an enthralling game between Ellon United and Hall Russell United, a game edged by the visitors after a marathon battle from the spot.
