Looking back on Dumbarton Accies' West of Scotland Cup success a decade on
05.05.2022 - 11:39 / dailyrecord.co.uk
May 7 will mark a decade since a group of Dumbarton Accies players wrote their names into the history books.
Victory in the West of Scotland Cup gave Accies their first national silverware since Bobby Chalmers’ team won the Scottish Cup in 71, and entered into Accies folklore.
