HibeeJibee Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 East Kilbride U20s are having some season. Having already topped their U20s Qualifying League section, and won the U20s League Cup, they are 4pts clear atop the U20s League with 4 games left - one a game in hand on their pursuers; and they're into Semi-Finals of the U20s Knockout Cup (single-legged) and the U20s Challenge Cup (2-legged). As chance has decreed they play a quadruple-header against Edinburgh University U20s with 4 meetings over 15 days - in the Semi-Finals of both those cups and in the league . EK won 3-0 in CC SF 1st leg at Peffermill last night. League game is tomorrow at the same venue. Then CC SF 2nd leg at K-Park on Tuesday. Finally KOC SF also at K-Park the following week. I don't think anyone has won a clean-sweep at this level - at least not since the current age-group arrangements came into place - so it'll be interesting to see how they get on.

HibeeJibee Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Congratulation to EK U20 who won League on Friday to add to League Cup title. Challenge Cup Final is Spartans v EK. Knockout Cup SFs are Spartans v Stirling Uni/EK v Edinburgh Uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigyboy Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 We have played Edinburgh uni a few times in the past few weeks...tomorrow will be 4 out of the past 5 games I think. Just got to hope that we do not become complacent and do a professional job and get to another final...could be an unbelievable climax to an amazing season for EKFC 20s.

Craigyboy Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Winning the lot is still on after a nervy affair tonight versus Edinburgh Uni....a 2-1 win after getting our keeper sent off in the 2nd half...delighted with our young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Both cup finals are Spartans v EK. In an unusual move the Challenge Cup Final is at K-Park a week on Friday, and the Knockout Cup Final at Ainslie Park the following Wednesday.

Craigyboy Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Well done to Spartans last night....Tough to take losing a cup final at your home Park...but we have a chance of revenge on Wednesday evening at Ainslie Park. Looking forward to it already with the 2 best sides in the league going head to head....should be a tasty affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigyboy Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Well we managed to get a bit of revenge last night and EKFC 20s won the Knockout Cup 1- 0 at Ainslie Park. As always it was a tight affair and a hard fought game....3 trophies out of 4 for the EK lads to round off a terrific season. 4 weeks rest then we start pre-season training for our debut season in the SPFL Development League West.Thanks to all the teams we faced this past season and good luck to them in the future.
