Mr Hugh Dunnit

The self-styled oracle took another swing at forecasting the GCFA Conference fixtures — and the ball spun every which way. A couple of scores landed close, a few went flying past the post, and one result made the crystal ball look cracked beyond repair.

From late drama to shock hammerings, Saturday morning once again proved why predictions are always risky business.

Some near-misses, some wild swings — exactly what you’d expect from the legend of the touchline notebook. One thing’s certain: the games will always write better scripts than any prediction.

Match Predictions

Game 1 – Banknock v LS Memorial Prediction: 2–1 Banknock | Result: 3–2 LS Memorial ❌ Hugh called a close game — got that part right — but backed the wrong side. Game 2 – Cathcart v Cambuslang Prediction: 4–1 Cathcart | Result: 9–2 Cambuslang ❌ Miles off. The shocker of the weekend — nobody saw nine coming. Game 3 – Westhill v Bearsden Prediction: 3–0 Westhill | Result: 6–0 Westhill ✅ Bang on trend. Westhill’s firepower doubled the margin but the call was right. Game 4 – Rosebank v Remo Prediction: 3–2 Remo | Result: 4–1 Remo ✅ Close enough — got the winner right, if not the margin. Game 5 – Medics v Burnhill Prediction: 2–2 draw | Result: 4–3 Burnhill ❌ Predicted a scrap — nailed that part — but couldn’t split them correctly.
