Scottish Junior Cup Final

[Scorrie]

For those who like their junior fitbaw the final is live on Alba now. Given that most of the east juniors have moved to senior football, the junior cup won’t be quite the same again

Money too. The juniors have struggled to get sponsors recently while the SFA hands down some money to non-league clubs.

There's an ex-Hibs player involved today. Hurlford keeper Ally Brown was with us at the start of his career, though he made very few appearances.

7 appearances in the last 10 finals, winning 5 of them, it's almost a natural order in the juvenile ranks

I don't see the point in having separate leagues for the so-called juniors anymore.

They should just merge them with the regional seniors leagues.

That looks like what’s happening in the east. Half of the junior teams have joined the east of Scotland league to the try and get into lowland league and then SPFL 2. Bo’ness and Linlithgow haven’t gone senior yet but may have to as the big junior teams like Bonnyrigg and Newtongrange won’t be there for them to play next season.
