What do you expect to happen to the East Juniors? I expect the more westerly ones to throw in their lot with the West, the Tayside ones to operate under the Highland League and the rest to join the EoSL. I don't think there'll be any East juniors by next season or the season after. I agree with you that it's extremely unlikely there's any role for the SJFA at national level. We shall see what happens in the west though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Looks like Preston have stabilised/improved best of last seasons better EOS teams. Leith and lothian have certainly regressed. Btw Preson North End last beat Blackburn Rovers 4-3 on 2nd November 1889 in League Division 1 Burnieman was subby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Runner Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Great to see Peebles getting a point on the board, obviously should good fighting qualities given they had thrown away a 2 goal lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobM Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Harsh result for Tweedmouth today. Have to admire them for keeping the club going when they're fairly regularly getting turned over (even before the Junior exodus). Good that the leagues should settle after this year and they'll be more evenly matched with their opposition and given a set-up that'll help them develop.

When we played them last week, one of their committee was saying he can't wait until next season where they are in a league with mostly of clubs they can try and match. Says the ex-Juniors are faster and fitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 They made a bright start to EOSL life - beating Tynecastle away then Heriot-Watt Uni at home in their first month - but it's been hard slog since then with only a few wins and draws v sides of similar stature. However they always pull off a surprise. In 2016 they got 1-1 draw at LTHV (almost won IIRC); in 2017 held leaders Leith 2-2 at home despite playing almost the full 2nd half with 9-men.
