HibeeJibee Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 This tournament continues to establish itself in the EOS football firmament and enters its 7th edition this coming season... It has had many formats. In 2011-12 there were 4 groups of 6 (5 matches each) - newcomers Duns not participating - with top 2 in each progressing to League Cup R1. Then there were 5 groups of 5/6 (4/5 matches each) with winners progressing to LC R1 and runners-up plus best third place to LC Preliminary. In 2013-14 there were 4 groups of 5 playing home-and-away (8 matches) over the course of the whole season - much to htb's delight IIRC - with winners progressing to R1 and runners-up & third place to Preliminary. Then there 5 groups of 3/4 (2/3 matches) with the winners plus 3 best runners-up progressing to R1. In 2015-16 there were 4 groups of 4 (3 matches) with top 2 progressing to R1. In the season just ended there were 2 groups of 5/6 (4/5 matches) with the winners progressing to SFs and runners-up & third place to R1. So of this coming season there are 4 groups of 3/4 (2/3 matches) with the top 2 in each progressing to R1:http://www.eosfl.com/col.asp?cid=57Section ALothian Thistle HV, Heriot-Watt University, Burntisland Shipyard, Tweedmouth RangersSection B Leith Athletic, Eyemouth Utd, Peebles RoversSection C Tynecastle, Stirling University EOS, Kelty HeartsSection D Preston Athletic, Coldstream, Ormiston According to EOS website games to be played on Saturday 29th July, Tuesday/Wednesday 1st/2nd August, and Saturday 5th August.

HibeeJibee Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thumping win for Heriot-Watt University at Tweedmouth this evening means the Englishmen now need to win at LTHV on Saturday to progress. HW Uni know a draw at Burntisland will be enough for them to qualify. Ormiston have been eliminated after taking a hiding in the East Lothian derby tonight. Coldstream host Preston on Saturday which will decide who wins the section and gets an easier draw in the League Cup. Coldstream need to win, Preston just need to draw.Section A Heriot-Watt Uni ... 3pts, +3, 6F LTHV ... 3pts, +3, 3F ===================== Burntisland ... 1pt, 0 Tweedmouth ... 1pt, -6Section DPreston ... 3pts, +4 Coldstream ... 3pts, +2 =====================Ormiston ... 0pts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 LTHV annihilated Burntisland 13-0 and have qualified. Short of more big scorelines they will top the section. As stated HW know a draw will see them qualify (I'm assuming Tweedmouth aren't going to run up a cricket score at Saughton). Tweedmouth must win at LTHV and hope Burntisland beat HW. Burntisland must win at home to HW and hope Tweedmouth don't win at LTHV. Tynecastle have qualified after winning 5-2 at Stirling University EOS. They can only top the section if Kelty lose at home to Stirling Uni by 1, 2 or 3 goals (or 0-4). Stirling University EOS would need to win by 3+ goals at Kelty to qualify, and 4+ (except 4-0) would top the section. Avoiding defeat will win Kelty the section.Section ALTHV ... 6pts Heriot-Watt Uni ... 3pts ===================== Tweedmouth ... 1pt, -6 Burntisland ... 1pt, -13Section C Kelty ... 3pts, +2Tynecastle ... 3pts, +1 ===================== Stirling Uni EOS ... 0pts, -3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 It's unfortunate but a natural result of the pyramid and licensing system which can't really be helped. Higher-quality teams like LTHV are 'trapped' in EOSL due to not having a license and higher-quality teams like Kelty have to work their way through (quite rightly). Meanwhile this is balanced out by some lower-quality at bottom of LL who'd otherwise get relegated. Should work itself out over the next few years? Last season Burntisland went down 0-6, 0-7, 0-6, 0-7 at home and 10-0 at Eyemouth, 9-0, 9-0 and 6-0 away in league. LTHV also won 11-0 v Tweedmouth, at Old Shielfield. However 13-0 is a new level... I'll go and have a look at how often double figures has been reached in recent decades but it won't be that many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Dramatic day. Burntisland put midweek's obliteration behind them and did the necessary beating HW Uni 2-1. With LTHV thrashing Tweedmouth 10-2 the Fifers qualify. Leith smashed Eyemouth 7-2 away and qualified. Eyemouth must win at Peebles by 4+ goals next week to nick their place in League Cup. Avoiding defeat tops section for Peebles. Kelty seem to have made heavy weather v Stirling Uni EOS but 3 goals in the last 15 mins saw them OK. Coldstream managed to beat Preston 2-1 to top Section D.Section ALTHV ... 9pts Burntisland ... 4pts =====================Heriot-Watt Uni ... 3pts Tweedmouth ... 1ptSection B Peebles ... 3pts, +3Leith ... 3pts, +2 ===================== Eyemouth... 0pts, -5Section CKelty ... 6pts Tynecastle... 3pts =====================Stirling Uni EOS ... 0ptsSection DColdstream ... 6pts Preston ... 3pts =====================Ormiston ... 0pts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
