Scottish Junior Cup 2021-22


Recommended Posts

On the SJFA the likes of Newmains United but they're in the draw, so it looks like they've rejoined. While others have left. Trying to fill in the gaps based on the numbers on the 1st Round I think Darvel, Bo'ness Athletic, Pumpherston, Vale of Clyde, and Whitburn have left the SJFA.

Second round draw is about to start, 18 teams have received byes, so that could include some of the ones you named.

Some maybe as it's hodge podge attempt to check. Pollok 88 Renfrew 89 & Troon 104 Vale of Leven 105 means there's no Pumpherston or Vale of Clyde for instance.

When do they intend to play the junior cup? Hopefully none of the meaningful games will be moved to accommodate this? Will they just have to play it on a Monday night or something? 

1st Round is weekend of 24-26 September.

If ever summed up Scottish football it’s clubs leaving a level of football and still getting to play in their old levels biggest cup. What a shambles. What next invite the Amateur teams.

There seems to be a couple that left last year and have come back. Cambuslang Rangers and Newmains United aren't on the roll call of clubs on the SJFA website but were in the draw.

You might not be far off the mark with that. I get the impression the SJFA want a national Cup from Tier 5 downwards.

Fauldhouse United being in there is a bit of a bomb shell.

Especially as they already have a fixture on the same day 😂
King Cup 2nd round away to Kirkcaldy 25 Sep on the Fauldhouse FB page

What dates are 1st and 2nd Round etc?

Best guess so far from a post above with the first date appearing to be confirmed on an SJFA twitter graphic that subsequently got deleted and by a poster linked to Auchinleck Talbot:

  • 25th September - Junior
  • 23rd October - Scottish & Junior
  • 27th November - Scottish & Junior

Edit: or maybe events have moved on see above

The SJFA put out earlier these were the proposed dates.
Round 1 21 Aug
Round 2 25 Sep
Round 3 23 Oct
Round 4 27 Nov
Remaining dates to to be confirmed.
And that's the dates that are on the fixture list sent to clubs, for Rounds 1 and 2 at least. Round 3 is the 30th October with the Scottish Cup on the 23rd.
