Vanderbilt Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 5 minutes ago, Ginaro said: No, it was brought forward (with a week's notice) from 2nd December which was a washout for all fixtures. Continuing with single leg Junior Cup semi finals would've kept two matchdays for the league but I suppose it's more important for the SJFA to make money. The Junior Cup is far more important than the league obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Jones Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 1 hour ago, Ginaro said: Probably fewer postponements, out of the cups earlier (3x Scottish Cup, 1x SCC, 2x League Cup games but also no Junior Cup - compared to Talbot with 16, Beith, Darvel and Pollok 14), Benburb game brought forward in October when both were idle (they ended up losing) - though the gap won't be what costs them the title. I take your last point, but there were postponements in East of Scotland leagues to, but all teams (I think) have had more than 1 league match to date, since 6 April. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East and South also drop league fixtures to play the SRCC. And I would guess there's plenty more. Sorry to spoil your pop at the Juniors.
