rigano Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Another win last night against second placed Spartans. They are well clear at the top although I think Lothian have 6 or 7 games in hand. Will be a big ask for Lothian with other interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek1234 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 They will win the league. They've got the points on the board and other teams will be chasing to catch up all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 On paper it looks like the title race is between Leith, LTHV and Civil Service... at the moment LTHV are 15pts behind with 5 games in hand, whilst Civil Service are 18pts behind with 4 games in hand (but have not played either of their games against either of them). Leith also still have to visit LTHV. I'd imagine the easiest way to look at the table just now is points per game, that smooths-out the games in hand: Leith 2.77 ppg Lothian THV 2.62 Civil Service 2.00 Spartans EOS 1.93 Tynecastle 1.80 Heriot-Watt 1.50 Hawick 1.44 Peebles 1.43 Coldstream 1.33 Ormiston 1.33 Stirling EOS 1.25 Craigroyston 1.08 Duns 0.70 Burntisland 0.58 Eyemouth 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tynie1874 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Think Lothian will edge it, some class players they can call on from youth ranks given if they wish to keep players fresh for East Kilbride neither the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surely not! Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Think Lothian will edge it, some class players they can call on from youth ranks given if they wish to keep players fresh for East Kilbride neither the time.Drawing on the young ones will surely hinder their chances rather than improve them.

HibeeJibee Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 It won't matter anyway. After this weekend they haven't a game until facing EK, due to EOSL's Christmas break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't have a game for 3 weeks before East Kilbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paleface Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 given that Leith and Lothian don't have the critea ,facilities,etc to move up surely the next best place team that does should be given the slot ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 It was Leith's title in the end, and by the on paper reasonably comfortable margin of 9pts, although for a short while LTHV were closing in on them and a different result on the last day would have slashed it to 3pts. Congratulations have to go to Leith on a highly successful season... league champions, Alex Jack Cup winners, King Cup winners - indeed only a narrow loss to Spartans EOS in the League Cup final prevented a domestic clean-sweep. Topped their EOS Qualifying League section with maximum points, too. In the EOS Qualifying Cup and South Challenge Cup they lost narrowly to LL opposition, 4-3 at Gala and 2-1 at Cumbernauld respectively. Adventure lies ahead in the Scottish Cup next season.
