Just a question to ask if anyone knows of any amatuer league teams looking for players/ holding trials for the Inverness summer league? Unfortunately, the team i played for last season isn't running this year so me and a couple of other boys have to look elsewhere. Would be great if someone could help us out

I don't know about teams, but I really hope that this time they are going to manage to get ths coming season finished without a fallout with their national governing body.

What happened?  I find it crazy that a country the size of ours has so many "governing bodies".

As far as I recollect, about 10 years ago or so they fell out with the Scottish Amateur FA and hence defected to the Scottish Welfare FA with whom this latest fall out seems to have been. As I recollect, they were also with the Welfare before the Amateur back in maybe the 60s and 70s but am not clear as to whether it was also a fall out that led them to go Amateur in the first place. I am also unclear as to whether the rattle is in need of retrieval again because they have gone back to the SAFA for a second time or whether they have resolved their differences with the SWFA. But in any case the people who organise the football you see on midweek summer evenings at the Buight and elsewhere around Inverness seem to have an amazing capacity to fall out with the establishment, whoever they may be!
