Any idea how many teams are in it ? If round 4 took you to the Quarter Finals it would suggest between 65 & 128 teams. If it took you to the Semi Finals between 33 & 64 teams. There are around 50 teams left in the "official" Junior structure. Are legacy WOSFL teams still competing ? Yes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) Entrants: 19 Midlands League, 32 North Region (assuming they all enter) and TBD number of clubs from the West of Scotland League that have retained their SJFA membership. Games likely to be played on Scottish Cup dates when Alex Jack and Southern Counties Alba Cup type competitions for non-licensed clubs are normally also held by the EoS and SoS. Posts on the WoS subforum have indicated that a new competition will be launched this season for WoS clubs that are non-licensed and non-SJFA.

League fixtures take priority in that context. There are no replays so all ties are played to a finish.

Allow you can count on one hand who's likely to get to that stage for it to be an issue. 21st August - Junior 28th August - Scottish 18th September - Scottish 25th September - Junior 23rd October - Scottish & Junior 27th November - Scottish & Junior 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 Buckie Rovers are in abeyance again according to what is on Fitba North so probably down to a maximum of 31 north region entrants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 It will be interesting to see how many clubs will be in it. The draw is this afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want some random speculation, Carnoustie Panmure have tweeted saying they're 24. Going by how the clubs are named on the SJFA website with Bo'ness United Juniors changed to Bo'ness Athletic and Annbank & Buckie Rovers in abeyance you get the following: Aberdeen East End Aberdeen University Arbroath Victoria Ardeer Thistle Ardrossan Winton Rovers Armadale Thistle Arthurlie Ashfield Auchinleck Talbot Banchory St Ternan Banks O'Dee Bathgate Thistle Beith Juniors Benburb Blairgowrie Juniors Blantyre Victoria Bo'ness Athletic Brechin Victoria Bridge of Don Thistle Broughty Athletic Buchanhaven Hearts Burghead Thiste Carluke Rovers Carnoustie Panmure Edited July 3, 2021 by FairWeatherFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they mean there are 110 clubs with SJFA membership (if you add Newmains United). Funny that half the clubs no longer compete in Junior League football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
