HibeeJibee Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 R1 drawn at the Southern Counties FA AGM last night according to thread on SOSL sub-forum. Bonnyton Thistle of Kilmarnock have joined SOSL - they're about to complete a new ground which will look similar to New East Peffermill, except with a 3G pitch. Fleet Star were inactive but played in this season's competition to retain their membership. They have now gone defunct. Accordingly there are still 19 entrants - 3 SPFL clubs, 2 Lowland and 14 SOSL - and accordingly 3 ties in R1. Dalbeattie and Edusport both received byes.First Round Nithsdale Wanderers v Lochmaben Heston Rovers v Creetown Dumfries YMCA v Abbey Vale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you know about them? Potentially Good enough for a license you think HJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Know next to nothing. Don't seem to run an amateur team currently but large youth set-up all the way to 21s. Ground's clearly designed for licensing - 100 seat stand, set of turnstiles, etc.http://www.bonnytonthistlefc.co.uk/newsevents.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire youth team in the LL in 2 or 3 seasons perhaps? Can you imagine the seething outcry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 There isn't a junior club in Kilmarnock - and only Hurlford in the wider district - so maybe the potential to eke-out a following. Ground looks smart. Imagine the ambition will be upward. With promotion of Edusport, relegation of Preston, entry of Bonnyton and apparently Kelty, things are moving in the pyramid. Just a pity that penalty shoot-out didn't go the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theProdigy Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Bonnyton don't seem that they will be able to apply for a license for at least a couple of years (currently they will be using portacabin changing rooms but intend to have a pavilion and stand etc ready by the end of the 2018/19 season) and stated at the AGM that they wanted "to consolidate a place in the league first before considering moving anywhere"!

HibeeJibee Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Press reports indicate Wigtown will play on in this cup with a scratch XI - as Fleet Star did last season. Apparently it is necessary to play to retain Southern Counties FA membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Bump. Wigtown make potentially their only appearance of the season tomorrow as they have another go at playing Lochmaben. LL interest is restricted to Edusport's matchup with Bonnyton... their opponents R2 tie being outstanding see Dalbeattie get a free week. (BSCG and Cumbernauld are also idle: matchday 24 having been shared between December 2nd and tomorrow depending on whether clubs were participating in EOS Qualifying Cup whose R3 = December 2nd, or Southern Counties Cup whose R3 = tomorrow, according to listings).

HibeeJibee Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Minor shock today sees the Frenchmen exit at the hands of the Ayrshiremen. Wigtown's scratch XI were blitzed by Lochmaben. NS-QotS abandoned yesterday due to "icing on the pitch".
