HibeeJibee Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 You mean the tournament previously known as the Dechmont Forklifts Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love the game Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Think so...was played at the start of the season before league games started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesunnydunny Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Decision to be made by management committee around January after they determine if it is feasible depending how many games have been put off due to weather conditions throughout the winter. Too many postponements would make it very difficult to arrange before the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love the game Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 So it won't be player at the start of this season then? It's a pity as it was good to play but defo agree it's hard enough to get league games played,let alone the additional cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesunnydunny Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It was proposed by Tranent to be played on a regional basis at end of the season if possible with a maximum of 8 games including semi and final for both South and North Leagues. Left to management committee to decide at later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left to management committee to decide at later date. We'll have two extra league games this season, and last season saw a reasonably mild winter, so I'm not sure it will be needed as long as there is enough games to keep most clubs going till the last weekend in April.

thesunnydunny Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Yes just over 200 postponements last season compared with over 400 the previous season and will depend on the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love the game Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Think refs need to really man up tbh...seen them call games off for next to nothing on park,then go to watch other junior game and the park is 10x worse.....so frustrating! It's junior football,not kids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left to management committee to decide at later date. So it's basically a new cup - you could essentially call it the South District Supplementary Cup (with another in the North)? No Superleague/Premier sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
