It's an end of season treat we have for you! 

We chat with 2004 Scottish Cup final scorer Andrius Skerla all about his time at the club. Hear about what brought him to West Fife, how it felt scoring in front of a full Hampden crowd and what it was like playing in that iconic Pars team. 

The boys also recall their memories of that incredible day and what might have been, literally from morning until evening, so get your nostalgic socks on for this one. 

We recap a somewhat stuttering end to the 23/24 season, the birthday corner has some terrific names for May and the Andy Wilson memorial quiz takes a twist! 

There's a wee bit of swearing at points, so not for the younger ears.
