News – Strathclyde Saturday Morning (ssmafl.co.uk)

League to change name

The league have unanimously approved a motion by the executive committee to change the name of the league
From 1st July 2022, the league will become: SATURDAY MORNING AMATEUR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION
The change was made as the title “STRATHCLYDE” was a blast from a previous era and did not reflect the membership
A new domain name has also been secured for our website, and we will be seeking to further develop our website along with wesoccer

New Clubs admitted

At a special general meeting of the leagues management committee, a total of 12 new clubs were admitted for next season, with moving from other leagues, and totally new clubs
This is quite an achievement at this time of year, and shows the growth again in Saturday morning football, and the desire to join one of the biggest leagues in Scotland
We are also still attracting further applications, and will continue to be open for brand new clubs, but the deadline for clubs to move leagues has now past

Clubs joining from other leagues are SINGER, CLYDESIDE ATHLETIC, MOTHERWELL ATHLETIC, LA RONDE, NEWMAINS HAMMERS, NORTH KELVIN UNITED & EASTEND TOWER

Brand new clubs are TORYGLEN THISTLE, INTER GLASGOW, MILNGAVIE FC, STRATHAVEN DYNAMO, LANARKSHIRE THISTLE

Sadly, New Stevenston Celtic have decided to move to another league for next season, and we have also sadly lost a couple of clubs recently.

Wishaw Rangers also seem to have become "Newmains United SAFC" (their Facebook page has changed to this, in any case).
 

I believe they have merged with the West of Scotland side, Newmains United. I *think* they’ll be running an amateur team and a ‘junior’ team.

Strathaven Dynamo are previously known as Machan Utd and have moved from the churches league with a name change. A very decent side.

I think there's a bit more to it than that - Strathaven Dynamo (amateur section) previously played in the Scottish Amateur Football League, and then some clerical error meant they were thrown out for a year.  They've essentially now just taken on Machan United as their amateur team.
