Angus and Dundee Summer League Cup, League B
Arbroath Amateurs 2 Dundee West 3 (att 18)
This fixture fitted in well on day when we were heading towards Scotland's far north, and having stayed in Perth on Friday night it was a simple task to be in Arbroath in time for a morning kick off.
The Angus and Dundee Summer League Cup is a new competition, providing semi-competitive football for local Saturday and Sunday sides in a Nations League-style format.
Arbroath Amateurs spent last season in the Saturday afternoon Midlands Amateur League. They've entered two sides in the Dundee Saturday Morning League for 2025/26. Whether that's instead of, or in addition to, playing Saturday afternoons remains to be seen.
Dundee West are a Saturday morning side, although they failed to complete last season. They've made a good start to this season though, as this was their second win from their opening two fixtures
There wasn't much between the sides. Arbroath led 1-0 at the break after a first half of few chances. Dundee West deservedly equalised in the second period, after which the game looked to be heading for a draw.
But with about 15 minutes left Dundee West scored again to go in front. Arbroath Amateurs equalised almost immediately, before Dundee West quickly scored another. All three goals were within five minutes, and settled the game in favour of the visitors.
Arbroath Amateurs are based at the PKS Arena, a rather grand (and sponsored) name for an artificial pitch at Arbroath Sports centre. From the entrance there's a spectator area on the near side and dugouts on the far side.
