Comparing last year's West Premiership to the current games played. Keep in mind the West Premiership wants to have a Champion decided in time for any LL play-off. This year the EoS v SoS play-off is scheduled to take place on the 10th May. Which is why the EoS Premier scheduled to finish on the 2nd May. Compared to last year's finishes Kilwinning, Largs, Clydebank and Pollok would have to finish earlier to mee the LL play-off deadline. Which they are on pace to do. Kilbirne are at the same pace as last year which is perfect timing for the May2nd. It's only Cumnock from that list that would finish say a week too early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sjfa's issue.... The eosfl shouldn't be adding another cup to a busy schedule for their clubs in order to satisfy a lack of games in the sjfa calendar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Facts, facts... Seasons run late July to late May... with fortnight off at Christmas (except LL) and 2 months off in closed season. LL finishes on Saturday 18th April but as well as promotion playoff for 1 club the Lowland League Cup then runs over 4 consecutive weekends. EOS Premier finishes on Saturday 2nd May with promotion playoff running for 2 weekends. EOS First Division finishes on Saturday 16th May with title/promotion playoffs running for 2 weekends. Remember that LL and EOS Premier play 30 league games and EOS First Division plays 34 league games. King Cup Final is Sunday 10th May. South Challenge Cup Final is Sunday 24th May. EOS League Cup SFs are Saturday 16th May, with Final on Sunday 31st May. EOS Qualifying Cup may also run beyond March (as happened last season). There are 4 "unpopulated" dates in EOS Premier (Apr 4th, 11th, 25th, May 2nd), and 6 in EOS First Division (ditto, 9th, 16th). Currently the only clubs to have fewer than 3 or 5 league games respectively awaiting dates are Tweedmouth, Tynecastle (that's it)... currently the only with fewer than 5 or 7 respectively are Bo'ness, Camelon, Crossgates, Newtongrange, Sauchie and Craigroyston, Dunipace, Haddington, Heriot-Watt Uni, Leith, St Andrews, Dalkeith, Hawick, Stirling Uni EOS, Tynecastle. Granted some will also have cup weekends free. However there's likely to be further postponements and clubs with a 'live' interest in titles, promotion or relegation would finish on the last day. So it's not apparent what clubs would be free for an extra cup? This season EOS Qualifying League sections were abolished and King Cup made First Division-only to avoid too many cup-ties. If more cups were wanted a midweek Floodlight Cup would be your option. Edited December 6, 2019 by HibeeJibee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
