First Refusal: the EOS First Division 2023-24


Recommended Posts

No division has seen a greater 'churn' - with Arniston, Heriot-Watt Uni, St Andrews and Whitburn ascending plus Blackburn, Oakley and Vale of Leithen descending.

On paper perhaps the most competitive division with a dozen contenders.

Will Camelon see out the season or will they go the same way as sygenta?

Will the Vale make it 3 relegations on the trot?

Will Nitten’s band of under 20s make the step up and challenge for promotion?

its looking like a belter of a league that’s for sure.

Is there an issue or error with it?

None whatsover - it's brilliant!  I was just messaging to try to get permission to possibly use it on a programme cover. I never just use graphics or photos etc without the permission of the owner.

It's from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023–24_East_of_Scotland_Football_League so it can be used freely (or maybe with just a credit to Wikipedia). 

Could probably be improved for print if you want, especially the labels if they were changed to black and bold.

Blackburn Utd 5-2 Arniston Rangers
Heriot-Watt University 1-2 Dunipace
Leith Athletic 0-1 Camelon
Preston Athletic 2-1 Lochore Welfare
Rosyth 2-0 Whitehill Welfare
St Andrews Utd 5-4 Newtongrange Star
Vale of Leithen 2-4 Kirkcaldy & Dysart
Whitburn 4-1 Oakley Utd


Appropriately for a division looking intensely competitive most scorelines were close; though relegated Blackburn and promoted Whitburn laid down markers.

Incredible match at St Andrews.

Whitburn by far and away the better side on the day.

Tight 1st half .....1-0 HT

Then Whitburn raced into a 4-0 lead as the 2nd half progressed. 

Oakley with a cracking free kick and consolidation at the death .

Incredible indeed Hibee.

4-2 up with a minute of normal time left against 10 men you’d think Saints would see out the time. But no they lose a poor goal from a set piece, score straight from the kick off and then lose another moments later and end up hanging on.

Three of the goals we gave away were criminal. We can’t afford to do that in our upcoming games which are against three of the best teams in the division.
