I could see before the logic - it is a route to taking part in the SFA Cup. Now they have automatic entry to that. I've got it in my head the first two rounds for the Junior Cup are being drawn today. We'll find out which clubs are staying with the Juniors and which ones will be going for the Strathclyde Cup. EDIT : I see it confirmed as 1pm today. Edited July 3, 2021 by theesel1994 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A way to get there would have Auchinleck Talbot included. | 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesel1994 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 110 clubs in this year's competition according to SJFA Twitter reply. So a round less this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that's only single digit loss in membership then with Letham & Dundee St James added, and a few in abeyance (Annbank, Buckie Rovers, & Spey Valley) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesel1994 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I was looking back to when Largs Thistle won it in 1994. Ayrshire (23 clubs), Central (39), East (27), Fife (15), North (40), Tayside (26). 170 clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesel1994 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Something doesn't add up. 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...

That's from Wikipedia who have assumed, like most of us, that the new EOSFL clubs would have left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokforever Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 from their website, might not be up to date.

There are meaningful matches scheduled in the wosfl for every saturday in September, hopefully the sjfa is told to sling it in terms of rearranging fixtures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? When the WoSFL put out the partial fixture list the dates for the SJFA Cup were shared with the Strathclyde Cup competition. So for the first/second round dates most teams will be in those cup draws. Looks like Clydebank may be idle on those days depending on the draws in the early stages and then later rounds there would be more available opponents that it should be an issue. The first Round of the SJFA Cup is due to be played on the weekend of 25/9. Clydebank are away to Rutherglen, but they may be in Strathclyde Cup action that date as I believe they withdrew from the SJFA last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 How are they meaningful in west league. No promotion is guaranteed or even on. We just jumped into tier 5 with rangers with our B teams which for most make west of Scotland games meaningless in a corrupt flawed system. The junior cup has just as much meaning as any of this. As imperfect as it still is, at least there is a chance of promotion. That's already an improvement. [emoji106] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I miss the absolute absurdity of the ET cup, and seeing the likes of Glenafton trying to say they'd won "The Treble" by clinching it. the fixtures congestion it caused was like that crash in the tour de france last week- waiting on team a catching up on their 16 fixtures while team b hadn't played for 6 weeks. the Junior game was great craic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see this being any better for the likes of Talbot with the ludicrous 20 team league and these 4 cups plus the season needs to be ended earlier so that a possible playoff can take place if the league winner is licensed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means that the WoS Premier would be looking to be wrapped up by the 14th May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
