Is the Scottish Junior FA so out of touch with the game that it

believes last year's cup final was marred by four players being sent off

(September 21)?

Any Ayrshire fan could tell them that Archie Halley (who at his peak

was considered by some not to be good enough for Dalry Thistle)

appearing in a Largs jersey after playing for Glenafton in the 1993

final would be considered a legitimate target by the latter.

Your correspondent is wrong to state that all the top Ayrshire clubs

have byes into the second round of this year's competition: Kilbirnie

Ladeside have to meet Arbroath in the first round.
