Formation: 4-3-3
GCFA cup fever strips things back quickly.
League position means nothing once the draw is made. Saturday removed protection, removed assumptions, and removed a few familiar names from the brackets.
This week’s Hugh Dunnit Team of the Week is selected only from players in victorious sides across the ties that shifted the competitions. No consolation picks. No reputation calls. Just progression.
Declan Jones
(Third Lanark AFC)
RB — Tyler Fulton (Corinthians) Handled the job properly and kept it clean when it mattered.
RCB — Jon Wallace (Rosebank United) Full 90, then pops up with a late goal to put them in front. Cup moment.
LCB — Robbie Lennon (Rossvale Huntershill) Captain. Lead-by-example. Neck on the line stuff.
LB — Blair Garner (Banknock AFC) Up and down all day. Work rate described as unreal.
DM — Josh Flood (Corinthians)
First to tackles, shut down attacks — that’s how cups get won.
CM — Brad Nicklin (Rossvale Huntershill)
A 25-yard screamer in a one-goal knockout tie. Big separation moment.
AM — Paddy McKenna (Rosebank United)
Edges it with the equaliser in a midfield battle. That’s value.
RW — Luke Kane (Banknock AFC)
Goal + control both ways. Proper wide shift.
ST — Ryan Fox (Banknock AFC).
Goal and assist again. Direct contribution, no noise.
LW — Eddie Ferns (Corinthians).
Persistence pays off. Long-range strike opens the scoring.
On GCFA cup fever Saturday, the team is picked from those still standing.
Not nearly. Not almost.
Victorious.
No buzzwords, no shortcuts — just lads doing it right. That’s Scottish amateur football as Hugh sees it.
