Whitehill v EK was postponed yesterday and both Dalbeattie v Spartans and Selkirk v Vale tonight as was LTHV v Tynecastle and also LTHV v Burntisland on Monday.


In SOSL tonight Heston lost at Lochar and effectively drop out of the race while Threave beat Stranraer SOS.

Threave go 1pt clear with 1 game-in-hand on Mid Annandale - with Lochar hanging on 3pts back on Mids.

CSS, Edinburgh Uni, Edusport and Gala all helped themselves by collecting points today while Whitehill, Vale of Leithen and Dalbeattie lost. There's now a bit of a gap from those 3 to the rest.

Kelty and LTHV both won in EOSL to keep up 100% records. Kelty have only 3 league games left (next Tuesday then the following 2 Saturdays), whereas LTHV play Mon-Wed, Mon-Wed and Wed in between to catch-up their 4 games-in-hand.

In SOSL there were wins for Threave (at Bonnyton), Mid Annandale and Lochar, but Heston lost and are mathematically out of the race which Threave still leads by a solitary 1pt.

Creetown 1-2 Threave

Threave extend their lead going 4pt clear with 5 games left.


LTHV v Tynecastle was postponed on Monday. After declining to play at Riccarton yesterday a pitch inspection has been called for their "return" v Tynecastle due at Saughton today.

Dalbeattie and Whitehill lost heavily tonight but Vale of Leithen drew. This means only 1 of these clubs can mathematically finish 15th - and the likes of Gala, Edinburgh Uni and Edusport will now breathe easy... It's now Whitehill 28pt (4 games left), Dalbeattie 26pt (2 left), Vale 24pt (3 left).

Mid Annandale won 3-1 at Lochar to close within 1pt of Threave - but played 1 game more.

They've overcome worse before, tbf.


Dalbeattie 4-1 Selkirk
Whitehill 4-2 Gala
Vale P-P Cumbernauld

LTHV 5-5 Leith

Heston 1-3 Mid Annandale
Stranraer SOS 1-4 Lochar
Threave 5-0 Annan SOS
Upper Annandale 6-2 St Cuthbert



Whitehill safe.

Dalbeattie/Vale - who meet in last game - now relying on LTHV+Mid Annandale/Lochar, Spartans, or Cowdenbeath.

LTHV drop 2pts. They meet Kelty next 2 Saturdays.

St Cuthbert now cannot win SOSL. Threave-Mids week on Monday.

 

14   Dalbeattie        P29   29pts   -17

During the week Kelty won at Tynecastle, while LTHV beat Eyemouth and Burntisland. LTHV beat Kelty today to close to 5pts behind them. LTHV play Tynecastle on Monday + Wednesday... 2pts or fewer and Kelty win league; 3pts or 4pts and LTHV need to win at Kelty on last day to win league; 6pts and Kelty need to beat them to win league.

Threave played a Tweedie Cup SF during the week while the Annandale derby was postponed. Threave won at Nithsdale today to move 4pts clear and blow Lochar out of the race, while Mids didn't have a game. Threave can win the title on Monday by beating Mid Annandale at home then on Wednesday it's Threave v St Cuthbert and the Annandale derby at Moffat before the last day features Creetown v Mid Annandale and Threave v Heston.

Vale of Leithen v Selkirk is also on Wednesday.

LTHV 2-0 Tynecastle

Threave Rovers 2-0 Mid Annandale


Threave are SOSL champions. Congratulations to them.

Hawick are definitely relegated.

EOSL title goes to the end. If LTHV can win at Tynecastle on Wednesday, they'll have the advantage of Kelty on Saturday. Everyone loves a last-day decider.

Sad to see any team exit the leagues and I wish them well. Hope they bounce back in whatever direction the club decide to go in. Whitehill only had 10 men for 71 minutes of the game so fairly good going even against Hawick.

I would  imagine most teams just want the season over with unless otherwise in cups.

Selkirk 1-1 Vale of Leithen

Vale must now beat Cumbernauld next Wednesday to force a must-win last-day decider at Dalbeattie a week on Saturday, realistically, their GD being so inferior.


Tynecastle 0-1 LTHV

OG with 15mins left sees LTHV carry the advantage into Saturday's last-day decider. Kelty must win.

Cove's demolition of Spartans, meanwhile, sets posteriors twitching in Dalbeattie and particularly Innerleithen.
