Irvine Meadow defeat Arbroath in historic victory

Nov 30 2009 By John Woods

IRVINE Meadow wrote themselves into the history books on Saturday when they became the first Junior side to knock a Senior team out of the Scottish Cup.

A 32nd minute goal from Richie Barr gave the Irvine outfit a well-deserved 1-0 over Second Division Arbroath and put Meadow into the fourth round draw where they could come up against big guns like Celtic and Rangers or even book a mouth-watering local derby against Kilmarnock.
