It’s no secret that cup competitions this season have taken a back seat for us to concentrate on league business but now we are in a final, it’s 100% a game we want to win.

The fans deserve a trophy, and we will do our best to bring this back to Bonnyrigg.

By no means will this be an easy game.

Just because Camelon are in the league below us it doesn’t mean this is a formality.

They have a very good side and manager and have a built a squad to compete in the Lowland league.

Anything can happen in a cup final, and we will need to be at the top of our game.

I know the Edinburgh Derby is on Sunday as well but hopefully the fans can make it through in their numbers as they have done all season.

Mon the rose

Match Preview

Following the end of the Lowland League campaign Bonnyrigg Rose travel to Volunteer Park Armadale to face Camelon Juniors in this East of Scotland Qualifying Cup Final.

Camelon who are Managed by Tam Scobbie are currently 2nd in the EoS Premier League and have already defeated Lowland League sides Linlithgow Rose and Broxburn Athletic on route to this final.

The EoS side have already shown this season that they are capable of defeating teams from the Lowland League with a Scottish Cup victory over Albion Rovers as well as a win against League 2 Edinburgh City .

Camelon goals have been shared around the team with Ross Kavanagh (21) and former Bonnyrigg Rose player Ben Scarborough (11) leading the way.

Bonnyrigg Rose defeated Armadale Thistle in the Quarter Final and had a comprehensive win against Tranent 4-0 under the Tuesday night lights at New Dundas Park in the Semi Final.

Matches between these sides have been very close with “The Rose” winning two with Camelon winning once and one match drawn in the previous four competitive games.
