The Never Beens lifted the "Been Cup" for the first time on Saturday 24th May 2008. The Never Beens took revenge for the penalties defeat of last season when Gilzo the Goalie failed to save any of the Has Beens kicks.
With former Stow heroes such as Tony Smith, Mike Oliver, Dougie Anderson and Moray Jack in the ranks it took the Never Beens over an hour to breach the Auld Heids in the Has beens defence with Smith and Cattlin looking solid.
Bruce Hunter scored the first after 65 minutes and then James Runciman and Neil Laidlaw both sons of famous Stow Stalwarts completed the scoring.
Despite Manager Drew Kelly changing things in the last 20 minutes, the Has Beens could not breach the Never Been defence. The manager's coat must now be on a shakey nail for next years encounter with Anderson, Fraser and Blackie all in contention for the coveted post.
The Has Been Squad was:
Cattlin, Wood, K. Penny, Jack, Anderson, A. Smith, T. Smith, S. Smith, Fraser, Blackie, Oliver, Thompson, Wilson, Forrest, Hewitson, Paterson, Donaldson and Watson.
* Stow have declared the pitch centre circle a no-go zone for the next six weeks in order that the grass may grow back following the amount of use it got on Saturday by referee Jim " I can see perfectly well from here" McMenemy.
