Uncle Scan Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 The Thorn are playing catch up I many aspects. Due to the late approval they are struggling in pitch and more importantly playing staff. A lot of their amateur squad didn't sign on and they are scrambling about at this moment. I expect they will improve later on but it will be a tough beginning to start with 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geo87 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Why did the amateur team not sign on? I thought they had a relatively settled team over the years and would have thought they would have been keen to progress as a group for this season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It will depend on the weather/grass growth." 2) Will Home games continue to be at Keanie Park until then? "No confirmed venues for other games but hoping to stay locally." Would you say those are answers? I wouldn't. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Train problems see me arrive at Keanie Park just before half time,0-0 thankfully. Sending off early in 2nd half for Thorn (must have been dissent, the foul didn't warrant anything) A poor goal to concede at the back, but they tried to get back into the game - corners, and a few breakaways where the final ball let them down. Not the greatest quality but a decent crowd,200 maybe ? Thorn 0-1 ft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be easier for Thorn to choose from players due to their location in the west central belt Edited July 30, 2022 by Bestsinceslicebread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easterhouse Academy will also have an amateur team in the Saturday Morning League (they've taken over another amateur outfit, Red Star, who played in the now-defunct Glasgow & District Saturday Morning League last season), another amateur team in the Airdrie & Coatbridge Sunday League, and also an U20 team in the Lowland Development League. Threave Rovers will have a development team playing in the Dumfries Sunday Amateur League. Glenvale have taken on the amateur club Carlton YMCA in the Scottish AFL, and will play as Glenvale Carlton next season in that league, and they will also have an U20 team in the Lowland Development League. Saint Peter's will have an U20 team in the Lowland Development League, and an amateur team in the Saturday Morning League. BSC Glasgow will have an U20 team in the Lowland Development League. Kilsyth Athletic will have an amateur team in the Football Central Sunday League (club formerly known as Kilsyth Rovers have become Kilsyth Athletic Sundays). Harmony Row Youth Club has an amateur team playing in the independent Glasgow Community & Co-operative League (outside SAFA jurisdiction). Threave Development AFC existed last season and was full of adults so is this something different? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcruic Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Threave Development played in the Dumfries Sunday Amateurs last season, and finished quite close to the bottom of the table. That was the team I was referring to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I still don't know how the WoSFL orders fixtures and results on the website when looking at all fixtures. I'm just choosing to believe they're giving Threave Rovers v. Campbeltown Pupils top billing this week due to the obvious novelty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stulch Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 So, any news on how many games teams will be playing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stulch Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I wonder how many current South of Scotland clubs would be interested in the WoS Division 4 if there was a WoS Division 4 North and WoS Division 4 South? Of course you'd really need them all to be to make it viable. Forgetting the small issue of the SoS play-off place for the time being!
