glensmad Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Looking at the groups in this year's Central Sectional League Cup, I reckon group 4 is wide open. We have Blantyre Victoria and Vale of Clyde on a high from last year's promotion, Cambuslang Rangers and East Kilbride Thistle rebuilding from scratch and most accounts looking useful, and Rutherglen Glencairn as the only Super League team in the group but only having qualified from the section once since gaining Super League status. Last season it was Vale of Clyde who sneaked the top place by one goal ahead of Cambuslang Rangers. There have been four different winners of the section over the past four seasons, only Blantyre Victoria haven't won the group in that time. The opening fixtures on Saturday are :- Blantyre Victoria v Rutherglen Glencairn Vale of Clyde v East Kilbride Thistle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelangonline Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hard to say having not seen any of the other sides. Cambuslang Rangers are clearly work in progress and some tinkering here and there and maybe a couple of additions could just about see us ready to go. The mixing and matching at the back in an effort to get the correct combination sees us letting in a number of goals pre-season so that def needs tightened up. Apart from that Im raring to go, just a pity we are the team to mss out on the opening day LOL Thatll teach me to complain about the end of season fiasco we keep finding ourselves in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that will be sustained remains to be seen, I'm not saying it won't, but I expect Cambuslang to be a very dangerous side in the group this year. And we're playing you at your place as well.

glensmad Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Vale of Clyde go decisively to the top of the group with a 4-0 win over East Kilbride Thistle, while Blantyre Victoria and Rutherglen Glencairn fought out a 1-1 draw.

Ek are defo on the up under Wardy good luck to them for the season Living in Ek, had a few pints n talking to people fae Ek tonight, starting to think this is a myth. Scott hadden., Ryan Kelly etc all opting to play for EK Amats under ex Ek Thistle players Alan Paterson & Billy Dolan, in Central Scottish League than join up at Wardys revolution. Think your all jumping on the managers p&b reputation n cash cow he had at Cambuslang rather than reality at EK Thistles current budget & pulling power locally.

fourfouroh Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 You dont half talk some pish Stevie. I released Hadden on Friday as hed wanted to "play every week". Ryan refuses to join Thistle ever again after what happened in his previous spell. And someone has got to be asked b4 they can knock it back. But why let facts get in the way eh !! As for the rest, usual pish from u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connolly81 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Wow wtf! I know the resources Wardy had to work with and can 110% confirm my times with Wardy at larkhall and cambuslang boys didn't sign just for the dough. Most of us signed for the gaffer or a friend of a friend was at the club !!! Stevie I don't know you but I can tell you right now I will never bad mouth Wardy. Ek have hugely improved since I last saw them FACT. And Wardy is first to admit its a work in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
