Kennie Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Hi there all Junior Fans, I'm continually receiving calls and messages asking about the release of fixtures. So just for clarity, the fixture list is ready and will be released to the clubs at the AGM of the West Region, which takes place on Wednesday 26th June. They will then go live on the website following that meeting.But, for those of you that are desperate for news, you should be able to work out the first 3 fixtures of the season in the Sectional League Cup. Fixtures are moved on a day and reversed from what they were last season. So, Game 2 is now Game 1, Game 3 is now Game 2 and Game 1 is now Game 3. If you were at home in any of the games you will now be away in the corresponding fixture and vice-versa for any away games.

Except Kennie's missed out one cryptic clue. Following his formula, you've got both Benburb and Rossvale home on Wed 31st July. But Rossvale have now moved to share at New Tinto of course... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As this means that some clubs will have had two home games and some two away games on the Saturday in each season. It's probably a throw-back to the old sectional league cups format. It does ensure that teams are not opening the season against the same opponents. It also helps to produce derby games, by that I mean that if your team's local derby didn't land on the Saturday last year it might happen this year. ie- Maybole v Girvan, Whitletts v Annbank, Muirkirk v Lugar, Port Glasgow v Greenock, Cumbernauld v Kilsyth. Games are also played under the split gate principle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesel1994 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 So Largs go from having three home games in 2017-18 v Winton, Kilbirnie (Sat) and Beith to a shared gate home match with Saltcoats last season. And if I've figured things out right it will be two seasons with no Saturday home game. Just scrap the competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games are also played under the split gate principle. Thanks for the clarification. The shared gate is only part of clubs incomes though and given that the groups are redrawn biannually, it's conceivable that some teams might go four seasons with no Saturday home game. Therefore I thought it would have been fairer not to rotate.However, in hindsight, it's probably no better or worse than not rotating. The main problem is only one Saturday and we all know the reason for that is to get the league started earlier. Thanks again for the candid reply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible, howevr unlikely, never to have a home Saturday group match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here here it's simply a farce with no sponsor and that's why we are just a laughing stock even continue to try and keep it going.
