I'll be keeping an eye on Fortrose & Rosemarkie Union. Also usually watch out for Thurso Swifts, my brother in law's old side, but they got scudded out 8-0 in the prelim round by Pentland Utd... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Bobley Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Pardon my ignorance. I’m part of the West Central Scotland amateur football bubble. Is there any way teams from Lerwick, Kirkwall, Stornoway, etc. could play against a team from the mainland in this format? Is that a usual occurrence or does it happen in the later rounds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes thats a usual occurrence. It just happens that the two Shetland sides were drawn together in the first round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclizine Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 The cup is regionalised into sections for the first couple of rounds, then goes all in. Usually North (Caithness and Sutherland), South (Ross-shire and Inverness-shire), Northern Isles (Orkney and Shetland) and Western Isles. Matches between teams from the islands and mainland are often played halfway on neutral grounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveFitbaw Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 A shame they don’t play in the Scottish Amateur cup. Wouldn’t mind an away day to Orkney or Shetland. Though it would be more a weekend away than a day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One issue is player availability, since many players in the NCL in the winter also play for an amateur side in the summer... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orkney is'nt too bad logistically you can be in and out in a day, but Shetland would mean the overnight ferry from Aberdeen or an expensive return flight that can easily be delayed with summer fog. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Bobley Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Thanks for clarifying that. If a team from Stornoway drew a team from Shetland, would they sail or fly to the neutral venue? An expensive trip, no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain_harris16 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Always a ferry and teams tend to play in neutral venues depending on distances between clubs. I was involved when back from Lewis won it. Many happy ferry trips home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would normally play in Dingwall or Thurso, sometimes Culbokie or Contin are used when it’s a team from the western isles vs Orkney/Shetland teams Edited May 18, 2019 by Spyro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
