If Arthurlie lose to Beith on Sat and Rabs beat Largs ( easier said than done) ... then providing Glenafton don't pick anything up on Friday then Rabs and Glens both on 30 and similar GD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you cant ignore that they had two weeks no league game to play in the voluntary cup and all the other additional fixtures. So yes its a farce, but its a farce that the sjfa members have contributed to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that it's Darvel's fixtures causing problem 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So clubs with floodlights have to sacrifice Saturday gate money because they’ve invested in floodlights. Hardly fair. Should be playing more midweek games at the start of the season (maybe a round in the league cup, junior cup and Strathclyde demolition) before the dark nights kick in, leaving Saturday’s free later in the year when playing midweek isn’t an option unless you’ve got floodlights 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AM-1 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Fair play to Campbeltown Pupils, 2 wins and a draw in their last 3 games in 10 days. They keep plugging away and are by far the most travelled team in the league with a very limited pool of players to choose from. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main complaint seems to be about these midweeks that are happening now, and even extending the season. The way some of the postponements have been handled hasn't worked out for a co-ordinated finish to the season. Glenafton v. Beith played on 16/04 was originally slated for 12/08. Glenafton v. Auchinleck Talbot played on 02/04 was originally slated for 23/09. If there hadn't been a 6 month wait in getting those games played it probably would have helped with some of that later fixture congestion that pushed things into a later finish to the season. Glenafton v. Beith and St Cadoc's were postponed twice which is why they've been sandwiched into midweeks in May because there's nowhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% agree with you in regard to the start of the season. We could play at least 2/3 rounds of games in august. Personally I dont see it as bad as others do in terms of sporting integrity. Glenafton have had it in their own hands since we could only muster a draw at Loch Park last month. On tonights performance (and the last 4 league games) we seem to have hit some form since the Burgh games but have perhaps left it a bit too late to stay up (hopefully not). Our season will be 1 of missed opportunities and if we go down by a point or GD then we will look back on at least a half dozen games with real regret. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, clubs competing in the junior cup with floodlights should be playing midweek games against other junior cup teams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
