I hope you kept your money in your pocket.

 

Highland league clubs to a hell of a battering today, Clach losing 7-1 and Buckie losing 5-0.

Ended up choosing Hurlford, thought the odds were still pretty decent for them.

Auchinleck

Hurlford

Formartine Utd

Wick

Bo'ness

 

Sadly it was Wick that let me down even though they were 1-0 up.

 

No real surprises today.  All Junior sides done well with Culter and Banks O'dee proving they are more than capable of playing in the HL.  I'm calling for them to open up the trap door in the HL and let in the North Juniors.

 

Totally agree about that. The Juniors have consistently, more than proved, that they merit inclusion in the Pyramid. This is the first 'proper' season of potential demotion from the Scottish League and hopefully, over time, the system continues to expand allowing clubs ('ambitious clubs' is the cliché!) like Culter and Banks O'Dee into the Highland League.

The top southern Juniors at present don't seem to be making any noises about inclusion in the Lowland league but once they see the reality of clubs actually reaching the Scottish League over the coming years, they may change their stance.

 

Some of the scores for the HL clubs yesterday were a bit embarrassing - 4 Junior sides eliminating 4 HL sides. I can only imagine the talk last night in Ayrshire Juniors' Social Clubs about the standard of the Highland League after the 5-0 and 7-1 thrashings of two clubs who are anything but cannon-fodder in the HL.

 

Mantis, I'm also seething about the BBCs lack of recognition of this round of the National Cup. Still no results up!
