Alex Jack cup 2021/22


Recommended Posts

Saturday 28th August 2021
Bo'ness Athletic 5-2 Oakley United
Edinburgh United 0-4 Luncarty
Glenrothes 0-5 Leith Athletic
Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts C-C Peebles Rovers
Kennoway Star Hearts C-C Edinburgh College
Kinnoull 0-4 Crossgates Primrose
Whitburn 1-4 Ormiston


Sunday 29th August 2021
Tweedmouth Rangers 4-6Thornton Hibs (aet, FT 4-4)

Ormiston took full advantage of their reprieve to deliver a shock demolition of Whitburn and march onto QFs. Tweedmouth tried hard to emulate them today but ultimately came up short in a quite incredible tie. Otherwise results went much as expected with comfortable wins for Crossgates, Leith, Luncarty and Bo'ness Athletic who interestingly are the only Conference X survivor.

Edinburgh College and Peebles failed to raise teams for various reasons so situation with those ties will have to await hearings.

That allowed it looks an interesting QF lineup due September 18th:

Bo'ness Athletic
Crossgates Primrose
Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts/Peebles Rovers
Kennoway Star Hearts/Edinburgh College
Leith Athletic
Luncarty
Ormiston
Thornton Hibs

Presumably the draw for this will be made very soon?

Haven't Inverkeithing HS changed their name? Or is "The Swifts FC" just shitey branding but the official name remains?

Who knows if they've changed it officially as the EOS website still refers to the full name, but they are using it as their branding now.

Not sure it's a good thing to go to a non-geographical name and there's already a Swifts in the same division. Drop the Hillfield to shorten it, sure.

Hillfield Swifts was their original name It’s the area of Inverkeithing they came from , Inverkeithing was added on when they joined the EOS.

since they don’t play in either now The Swifts sounds reasonable.

Not sure that is the case, as I can find a number of references to the IHS name when they were in the amateurs.

Sounds about as reasonable as Caledonian Braves tbh, maybe they should've went for Dalgety Swifts or Donibristle United instead :P

Doubt yer allowed to change team name midseason. Are they in Dalgety Bay for good now or is this a temporary place?

They were always known locally as Hillfield Swifts never heard the Inverkeithing bit until a few years ago.

The Swifts sounds good to me better than Caledonian Braves😀

Clubs can refer to themself as they like - 'Hearts', 'Airdrie', 'Bonnyrigg Rose', 'Dundee Downfield' etc - but amending or replacing an existing official name must occur in the closed season and be approved by the governing bodies (to ensure what's proposed isn't liable to cause confusion/disreputable/offensive/commercially-motivated/etc.).

Third Round (Saturday 18th September)
Ormiston v Leith Athletic
Bo'ness Athletic v Thornton Hibs
Luncarty v Kennoway Star Hearts
Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts v Crossgates Primrose

Semi-Finals (Saturday 23rd October)
Inverkeithing/Crossgates v Bo'ness Athletic/Thornton
Luncarty/Kennoway v Ormiston/Leith



More away ties for Leith but with preferable opposition... Luncarty and Kennoway probably pleased to miss big guns... Bo'ness Athletic perhaps favourites in their QF... all-Premier clash in Fife.

Bo'ness Athletic, Inverkeithing, Kennoway and Leith are favourites in their ties but most of the others harbour genuine hopes of reaching SFs.
