Utterly predictable - but when half the league don't pay anything other than expenses, can they be blamed for trying to stay relevant at Tier 5 a wee while longer? That said, hope the next big Scottish draw for one of them is away to Golspie on a Monday night.

lok development team u20s have folded
don't know the reason why although the manager mckenna has left
maybe someone better informed can explain
One biggie is clear if you look at the line-ups this last few months.

Looks like a smashing wee park. Incidentally, what was the score pal and was it a decent game? I can't handle looking on the website and GNU_Linux hasn't posted their round up yet.
Only saw the last 15 mins tbh and Campbeltown had a lot of the ball but conceded late on.

Dropped in with the better half to see Campbeltown Pupils vs. St Peter's on Saturday.
Pics if anyone's interested.
Ground on a par with a number in the Conferences to be fair...

I remember speaking to Billy at Keppoch Park during a U16/17? game in which his local Possil YM was involved, and him remarking that he wouldn't mind signing the boy with the ginger hair playing up front for the opposing side for his Perthshire team.The boy was Stephen Pearson who will be 40 later this year,so Billy has been there for at least 23 years,and likely longer.
To add to that, documented evidence he was in charge of Shire in 2000-01:

Despite Pollok's success this year, we have needed to call upon the 20s on occasion with the following all having made appearances from the bench: Thomas Haggarty, Kamil Krol and Jack Grimshaw. Kieran Davis, Tiger Lawson, Keelan Braonan and Ross Shaw have also been on the bench. We also have two first team regulars eligible for the 20s in Matty Grant and Jonny Lyon, while Jordan Moore played for both before moving on to Cumnock. Seems to be working at Lok at least. We are using our U19 SYFA side to pad out the numbers in the 20s when needed and have signed direct from it since the season started (Miguel Kamgna Jr for one).

Temporarily.
Is there a reason why they're at Lochburn temporarily? There there work ongoing at DD?

Met Shaun a few times at Newlandsfield over the years - the power of P&B! He was always great company. A big loss to SFC and Scottish football. Condolences to all that will miss him.

Westerton United. The story iirc was they thought they had secured a ground share but then circumstances changed. Zero idea who the proposed share was with.
Glasgow Uni I think?

Bearsden would be a non-starter for identical reasons as I described above with Jordanhill...those leafy established middle class areas can mobilise and organise very effectively when there's a proposed development they don't agree with. The area's happy enough to have West of Scotland play rugby there and tolerate Milngavie Wanderers playing up at Staney Brig in the middle of nowhere, but I'd imagine even a small actual football stadium being planned in the area would have the various residents' committees and so on lose their collective shit.
As seen by...

The style of the site is not suited for its purpose. Results need to be easily seen , not spread out as they are. PFC use same style but we are one club, not a league with 70+ members. The EOSFL is the best out there IMO in pyramid, followed by North Caley (for content of results).

Strange. Superleagues started in August 2002, before Pie & Bovril even existed, and I didn't discover this place until something like 2008 or 2009.......I'm not even sure the old email groups existed then either.
the email group was on the go late 90s.

That should be the decision of the clubs, if they have capable 2002 and 2003 players who are ready and show real potential, the clubs can use their own discretion as to how best and quickly to develop them. The weakest of weak arguments from a completely out of touch SFA.
I also notice Benburb are seeking answers to why players born in 2000 can still play in SYFA U-21’s when they are in fact U-22. Seems a real anomaly and a question they deserve a proper answer to.
21s has always been like that though and is effectively 21 and under. A leftover from when it was Juvenile? There was an U25 Juvenile (secondary juvenile or something? Sure one ran til quite recent times in central belt)

Will they be sharing coverage with premier sports?
Was thinking Match of the Day to be honest - gotta widen the audience. Gary Lineker has always dreamed of headlining Rangers B vs. Spartans.

My understanding of it all is as Marten says - the SJFA limps on, within the pyramid, running its own leagues within it via these two regions.

Playinf devil's advocate, if these 400 or so 2001s played in a 2002/03 league, then does that not likely reduce involvement of the 2003s? Do they stay at U19 level another year rather than signing with an U20 side? If so, what of the 04 and 05s and so on... Every action has an equal and opposite reaction etc...

The point I guess I was trying to make is that clubs paying only expenses will get replaced by clubs that have budgets more in line with what tier 4/5 would naturally pay and the more promotion/relegation places there are, the quicker CSS, Gala, Gretna, Vale, Edinburgh Univ, Caley Braves, Stirling Univ etc will get replaced. Put in the likes of Darvel, Talbot, Pollok, Tranent, Linlithgow etc the expenses only clubs will struggle to outmuscle them. I know there are clubs who are punching in LL and that's brilliant. But increased competition will make it difficult for them. Status quo keeps the inevitable another few years down the road.
