Cupar Hearts win Scottish Amateur Cup Final

Cupar Hearts have become the first Fife football club to win the Scottish Amateur Cup two years in a row.

More than a thousand people watched them beat Garrowhill Thistle 3-1 at Hampden.

It was followed by mass celebration, with hundreds gathering in the town centre for a “pyro party” into the early hours.

Manager Sean Simpson said: “I thought last year getting to the final was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

“I thought it was the type of thing that you could only really do once – so to do it again a second time and to do it back-to-back it just feels amazing.”

He added he’s “proud” of his squad and feels everyone at the club deserves what they achieved.

Their victory has increased calls for Cupar Hearts to be honoured at a civic reception.
