All 4 teams used trialists and no amount of defending that will remove the bad taste it has left. Junior football in disarray just now. It may be on its last legs and as a fan of the juniors since my first game at Dennistoun Waverley in the early 60s I’m upset at that. Things have to be seen to be done properly and the play offs were an unmitigated disaster for sporting integrity and the reputation of the SJFA. I understand the passions of the supporters of the teams involved but you must recognise it was a balls up. Dennistoun Waverley left the Junior scene in October 1968. Their ash pitch at Haghill Park is now covered in housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all 4 teams did and they are really the only ones affected by it so why would anybody else bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a report once that Neil Kinnock had relations that played with The Waverley. Can't seem to find any clarification on it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, they were junior. I think it was early 60s or possibly late 50s they folded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
