Fixtures are out but apparently there's no start date: https://www.eosfl.com/downloads/eosfl/Under-20-League-Fixtures-2020-21.xlsx

South Queensferry for Gala is an interesting choice of venue.

Not sure if it's a situation like Mid/Upper-Annandale situation with a tie-up with an Edinburgh based youth side. On the other hand, maybe a number of their youth players work through in Edinburgh area making it easier to manage with Friday night football?

It is, I'd forgotten who it was but eventually found it in the LL thread https://twitter.com/ClubSalvesen/ Wasn't expecting Netherdale but I suppose South Queensferry does make sense as it's a west Edinburgh club.

Has the dev league been changed to u21 next year for one season only due to this one being a bust?

 

I thought I read that somewhere, but now wondering if I've made that up......

No
Any player who is born 2001 and still registered at any u20 team will be allowed to play an extra year next season at U20 level.  Lads who are 2001 born will not be allowed to play next year unless they were still registered with a U20 team on or before February 2021

ah.  ok.  So aye and naw then.

Actually makes sense and a pretty fair compromise.  Feel a bit sorry for those lads playing u19s though.  They had no season and unlikely to find too many places in the incumbent 20s if lads are not moving on.

In saying that, there will be rakes of new u20s sides needing players I suppose.

Might not be an issue after all

I understand that the original list of 30 clubs for the 2020/21 Under 20's Development League in the East was as shown below. Some additional clubs have expressed interest in joining for 2021/22, including some clubs labelled (provis) as they have not yet been elected into the EoS.  Perhaps this list can be used as a basis for next season's entries? It has been mentioned that Edinburgh City may withdraw if they get their Reserve side into the EoS. Of course, it remains to be seen which clubs enter and which don't.

 

Blackburn United Edinburgh University Leith Athletic
Bonnyrigg Rose Gala Fairydean Rovers Lothian Thistle HV
Camelon Juniors Glenrothes Musselburgh Athletic
Civil Service Strollers Heriot-Watt University Penicuik Athletic
Dalkeith Thistle Hill of Beath Hawthorn Preston Athletic
Dunipace Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts Sauchie
East Fife Jeanfield Swifts Spartans FC
Edinburgh City Kelty Hearts Tynecastle
Edinburgh South Kennoway Star Hearts University of Stirling
Edinburgh United Kirkcaldy & Dysart Whitehill Welfare
     
Possible additions for 2021/22:  
     
Bathgate Thistle (provis)    
Berwick Rangers    
Craigroyston    
Fauldhouse United (provis)    
Livingston United (provis)    
Newtongrange Star    
Oakley United    
Stirling Albion

Any ideas as to when this league may be starting at all

Last couple of seasons it's started 3-4 weeks after the adult season has begun. So if that is 17th July then the U20s will be 6/13th August.
