HibeeJibee Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Congratulations to HoB and Dundonald who were admitted to the Fife FA last night. They join 4 SPFL clubs, Kelty and Burntisland. This adds the Fife Cup to their repertoire - another opportunity for chase some silverware. Next season they'll contest the Scottish/Alex Jack, South Challenge, EOS Qualifying, Fife and EOS League cups. (King Cup tbc). R1 draw should provide their first-ever competitive matches v Scottish League opposition: Cowdenbeath v Kelty Hearts Burntisland Shipyard v Raith RoversDunfermline Athletic v Hill of Beath Hawthorn Dundonald Bluebell v East Fife 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Presumably St Andrews will be admitted at some point as well (if they apply), given then are in the same position as Dundonald with their licence? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was corrected as Dundonald should have been the home club - no seeding or fixing involved that’s how the teams came out 4 SPFL v the other 4 clubs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fife Cup always felt ridiculous with one QF then straight onto the semis. Could be a decent enough wee cup and a chance to visit places fans haven't been before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowden Cowboy Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The addition of the 2 new clubs can only be good for the competition. Have to say the draw does look highly suspicious but a cracking one at that. Looking forward to visiting Dundonald as heard is a good wee set up. Been told Kelty U20s are being loaned out to Glenrothes so maybe them and St Andrews can be added the following season.Clubs joining Fife FA have to be SFA members 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Clubs joining Fife FA have to be SFA members So we can either presume Dundonald have obtained their licence in the past week or so or that the Fife FA is taking a more pragmatic view than the SFA are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their going back to the SFA in June with their lights being installed. They won't become members of the Fife FA unless they get their licence which is in the full statement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
