glensmad Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 As this looks likely to be the final year of this competition, I thought it deserves a thread of its own as the first and second rounds get under way today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenconner Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Started in 1922 and was known as the Glasgow Junior League Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 A wee bit sad to see these cups go but there are good reasons for it. I'm sure most fans will have fond memories of them even if they often felt like a pain in the arse at the time. Over the years I've enjoyed taking in games on the occasional sunny midweek evening in the Sectionals at the start and this and the end of the season. Has it been formally announced that this is being scrapped btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc57 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Lanark 4 Maryhill 1 Very well deserved victory today following our abysmal showing last week. Completely outplayed our higher ranked opponents after going 1 down to our obligatory crappy set piece goal. Our first and fourth goals were penalties converted by Shaun Gallagher in between which Ronan Kearney and Scott Schoneville each scored an excellent goal following some lovely play . We missed a few chances, as did Maryhill early on. We should have had a 3rd penalty but the young ref was not going to make himself more unpopular by giving it. Both sides were aggrieved with certain decisions, the worst of which was an offside with our man clean through having started his run in his own half. Impressed by the Maryhill captain - an old hand. Their number 8 lost the plot after conceding the 2nd penalty. Was unquestionably a foul but he then squared up to 3 separate players following the award and had to go.

glensmad Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Has it been formally announced that this is being scrapped btw? No, but I understand the recommendations of the consultation group are that the end of season League Cups are scrapped and the Sectional cups are restructured.

Cheers, sorry to derail your topic slightly but what is the restructured Sectional likely to look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archieb Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Main proposal is all 64 clubs in 1 tournament, 4-team sections and a regionalised draw for the knockout stage. Kept at pre-/early season. All still to be discussed and approved at GM & AGM of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clickclick Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I'd keep it, but exclude the top 2 divisions from entry. Keeps the cup alive and gives the teams in the lower divisions a real chance of winning a trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to Lanark who thoroughly deserved their victory, but Maryhill were truly awful. Impressed by Kearney who was the best player on the park. Maryhill could do with someone like him!

That's a solid 1 day, 10 and a half hours of football (if nobody makes any substitutions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeverleyHills Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Comfortable enough in the end against the 'Ants' Manager made several changes which included a start and man of match performance from Player/Coach JP McBride who also scored an excellent free kick on the night. Our midfield finished with the 3 auld yins. Robbie Winters (43) David Dickson (41) JP McBride (39) All 3 on the score sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
