Men’s Football National Squad Announcement

 

Scottish Student Football is pleased to announce the Men’s National Squad for the season 2017-2018.

Trials for the National Squad were held in October at the University of Dundee. Over 50 University and College students were in attendance, representing 14 different institutions from around the country. With such a vast array of talent on show the coaches were given no easy task selecting their squad to take forward. An extended training squad met and trained together in November, and again in December. Now, after careful consideration, the coaches are ready to announce their finalised squad for the season ahead.

The squad will be supported by the coaching team which secured a successful 16-17 season, peaking with a Home Nations victory. Dorian Ogunro of the University of Edinburgh returns as Head Coach, ably assisted by Bejay Koya of Heriot-Watt University and goalkeeping coach Chris Flockhart of Hibernian Ladies. Robin Drummond, SS Football Chair, returns as Team Manager. The coaches are delighted to be able to call the outstanding facilities of Oriam their home for the season ahead.

On the pitch there comes a measure of stability too, with no fewer than eight players welcomed back from the triumphant squad of last season. The squad also benefits from the experience of numerous players who received game time in friendlies last season.

The squad will meet on a near monthly basis to train as they prepare for a varied selection of fixtures. The team will first face off with Montrose, who currently sit tied on points at the summit of Scottish League Two with Peterhead. With this game due to take place in early February the team will round off their season with a trip across the Irish sea to face the Republic of Ireland’s student team in mid-April. The programme is near to confirming a further two fixtures to add to the season in the near future.

Head Coach Dorian Ogunro is glad to have the likes of Conor Morgan and Liam Allison returning to his defence after their impressive displays last season. At the other end of the pitch Ogunro also expressed his hope that Jack Guthrie can transfer his superb goal scoring record from Club to Country, with the striker recently exceeding one hundred goals for Edinburgh University Association Football Club. The Head Coach is also delighted to see the development of young talent like first year Robbie McGale of Glasgow Caledonian University coming into the squad. The full squad list as follows:

Player Institution
Alec Cadzow University of St Andrews
Callum Davison University of Edinburgh
Callum Reid Heriot-Watt University
Alex Webb University of Stirling
Calum Windram University of Glasgow

Stirling find themself 2-3pts clear afoot British Premier North at the Christmas break but have 1-2 games-in-hand. Edinburgh lost 4-1 at Glasgow but won 3-1 at Stirling 2nd and sit 5pts clear with 2 games left atop Scottish 1A (2nd places Glasgow have 1 game-in-hand). Heriot-Watt are 1pt clear atop Scottish 2A with 3 games left - 1 more than chasers St Andrews.

In the Scottish Shield Preliminary tie Glasgow Caledonian demolished Queen Margaret's 9-0. R1 is January 24th.

A good win for Edinburgh Uni over Nottingham in the BUCS Trophy this afternoon. They are at now home in the last 16 next week. 

I believe they also win the league this afternoon for the first time since Dougie Samuel was in charge, due to results elsewhere.

Edinburgh actually reached QFs today. Strathclyde also made it through while the Newcastle-Robert Gordon result is L-L. Excellent.


They won Scottish 1A courtesy of Glasgow failing to win at Stirling 2nds.

Hadn't realised but Stirling lost their last 2 games to finish bottom of British Premier North meaning relegation (unless something funny happens with playoffs and opt-outs IIRC?). Disaster. Presumably also see their 2nds bumped from Scottish 1A.

EDIT: Relegation playoff, now, seemingly... Stirling + 1-3 Scottish/Northern/Midlands champions for 1 place.

Heriot-Watt won promotion today. Congratulations to them.

The 1s potential relegation shouldn't effect their 2s unless they get relegated of their own accord (bottom if Stirling come down and Edinburgh go up, bottom 2 if Stirling come down and Edinburgh fail to go up I think). They seem to have no problem with multiple teams in the same division. I saw Edinburgh 1s and 2s against each other a few years ago in 1A and Glasgow 2s and 3s are both in 4A this season (the 3s actually won the division)

Stirling lost in British Championship R1. Robert Gordon beat Edinburgh then Strathclyde and ultimately won British Trophy.

St Andrews won the Scottish Shield (aka Queen's Park Shield) - their last was in 1943. Heriot-Watt won the Scottish Cup. Strathclyde 3rds won the Scottish Plate.

FT was Liverpool John Moores 1-1 Stirling in relegation playoff 1st leg today. Stirling lost on penalties aet :unsure2:. Is that for a bonus point?

Apparently if the return goes through extra-time then Stirling win on penalties, there would immediately be a third penalty shoot-out to settle the tie.

Most ridiculous system I've ever heard.

They equalised in closing quarter of 2nd half forcing ET. Here they scored again early in 1st period and again midway through 2nd to avoid penalties.

So preserve British Premier North status.

Congratulations to Alasdair Matheson of Heriot-Watt University - this evening named British Universities & Colleges Sport 'Unsung Hero' of 2018.

Sometimes in football the good guys do win.
 


Fully deserved and caps a great season for him and HW after promotion back to universities top-tier, "David & Goliath" Lowland-EOS U20s triumph, and stadium rebuild.
