After a dramatic penalty shootout win against Michelin, Bonar returned to caird park hoping to seal a historic cup double against the newly crowned league champions. After last weeks no team v Social everyone wondered who would be there. All eyes were on who would turn up. After being promised a run out Mr asda Dunny appeared. Murray "blisters" Campbell returned for only his 3rd appearance of this campaign and Lee Cochrane returned to the bench.
Bonar started well and never gave douglas time to settle. Bonar had chances to take the lead but couldnt take them. Douglas started to come into the match more and scored after a shocking lapse in concentration by Cafu. Some good defending from all players kept Bonar in the match.
A change of tactics by scrim and coach mourinho seemed to pay off. Bonar started dominating the game but then................. poor defending from a throw in let Douglas double their advantage. Bonar started fighting and tackling harder, but it looked like nothing would happen. Chances came and went. Bonar's lifeline then came, a penalty for hand-ball and ascot converted it. Bonar threw the Glens toilet and sink at douglas hoping for the equaliser. A last minute corner from Dunny ended up in the back of the net to wild celebrating scenes from the bonar faithful.
In extra time bonar now fancied their chances but a mix up from scorer ascot and deek let douglas reclaim their advantage. Lee cochrane's wonder strike again brought Bonar back level. In second half of extra time Douglas were under extreme pressure. Bonar eventually took the the lead through a sheva bullet header. With only minutes remaining, Bonar's suicidal defending gave douglas a penalty. As the ball hit the fintry houses and only seconds remaining bonar knew it was another cup win.
Jublient scenes at the end as coach cam and shev lifted the McGuire Trophy. All the squad headed back to the glens to be part of the historic bonagrove afc cup double winning night.
All eyes now on coach Cam and gaffer Scrim to see what players can be recruited for next year!!!
