Queen of the South

Last weekend Ian ran in to a neighbour of ours, David, who urged him to tell me that Queen of the South had got into the finals (or looking at their website just just now, is it the semi-finals?).
After thinking "the finals of what?", I thought that maybe he'd asked Ian to tell me because it was such a rare occurrence?
A couple of days later it dawned on me why . . . David's a Dumfries boy. (Although the rare occurrence thing might also be true).
