    Scottish Junior Cup Winners - Auchinleck Talbot.

    The Talbot is an extinct breed of hunting dog, and also the Talbot Sunbeam was a car in the 70/80s.

    The Junior cup is equivalent to FA Trophy for non-league clubs, and was won by Auchinleck Talbot at the weekend (it's a big thing up here!). The winners of the cup are invited to play in the Scottish FA Cup, and Talbot have won 11 times!

    Only thought of them as I drove through their town yesterday and all the bunting was out in the streets!!
