EdTheDuck Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 As the poor relation in the Junior family I think someone needs to highlight the shenanigans in the frozen wastelands of the North...and the East & West lower divisions Starting with...Banks o Dee got reamed 3-0 by Culter while Montrose Roselea lost 2-1 to Hermes last night in the League Cup while Dyce raced clear at the top of the Superleague with a 5-1 win in Inverurie vs Colony Park (although to be fair only 2 league games were played). Over a hundred people attanded but as that was across 13 games it isn't all that, eh? Apart from that, nothing. Further bulletins as events dictate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further bulletins as events dictate Hermes beat Roselea in the Montrose club's first ever North Superleague game...not the League Cup, in front of around 80 spectators...so your estimate of a hundred for all the games, although probably tongue in cheek, is problematical. Great win against the Mighty Keith last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it could be a long season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellyboy Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Rude awakening to the North Superleague for Roselea. 1-0 down two men sent off for second yellows by an overzealous referee then equalised with 15 to go only for Hermes to score in 87! Crowd of about 80 correct. Hermes were decent and will be at least top 4 on that performance. Second League game away to Banks o Dee on Weds night so tough start but happy to be there. 10 trips to Aberdeen this season and also Inverness, Maud & Dufftown as opposed to 10 trips to the Lothians (including Tranent, Haddington and Dunbar) 4 trips to Fife and two in Tayside had we stayed in the East Region Premier. Notice nobody doing mileage calculations for us this season!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a wee look into this and yep, you'll come to Inverness once in the league yet if Roselea stayed in the East region they'd he headed miles past Edinburgh heading south-east several times during the season. Absolute no brainer to join the North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there and it was a good game. Chances both ways, Banks o Dee having the upperhand. With a Roselea hat on think they deserved a draw and could easily have pinched it however BOD will claim that they could have won in earlier than the 85th minute goal. Promising stuff from Roselea in the opening two League games though and shows they wil be up there if they continue playing the same way. With Dyce at home on Sept 2nd in 3rd League game its not been the easiest start to life in the Superleague but will all sort itself out I suppose. Crowd maybe 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troopio Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I Think Junior and Minor Football is massively understated in the North by the Local Media....back in the days The Evening Express would offer quite a lot of coverage but these days it is non existent....Granted that could be money driven in terms of actual print media but would it really cost much money to run the local football news online??

You're not wrong. http://www.northregionjfa.co.uk/ The attached website isn't bad for fixtures, results & tables being kept up to date, someone does a good job there. But news is limited, there are no match reports and no match previews, the 10 pictures are 4 and 6 years old and not a single video. ...and finding the website at all was a fluke.

ham1sh68 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Good to see some interest/discussion on the North Juniors. Lets see if we can keep it going guys! Absolutely spot on about more potential involvement from the Angus clubs - could really help to raise the overall standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsPhil Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Buckie Rovers couldn't raise a team for last Saturday's nor next Saturday's Grill Cup group games, so they have withdrawn from that competition. Fingers crossed they are OK for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed they are OK for the rest of the season. Inverness City had a heap of trialists in their side recently; I think the North sides (hopefully including Buckie) will be better placed once the summer amateur ( welfare?) leagues stop and players then return to the juniors. Buckie were a Superleague side only last season so surely they will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other recommendations? Derby games worth catching? Forest Park in Burghead is a good venue, it is indeed in the middle of a forest. The rest in Moray and Highland are pretty much all railed off public parks (including Lister Park). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The home side entertain Banks o'Dee on the 26 August so a good chance to see the North's 'Top Dogs' in action and judge the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
