Cornwall_Saint Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 The Top 4 leagues kick off next weekend, but yesterday seen the start of the season in both the Highland and Lowland Leagues. Highland Results Brora Rangers 2-0 Wick Academy Buckie Thistle 0-2 Inverurie Locomotive Works Deveronvale 7-0 Lossiemouth Formartine United 4-1 Nairn County Fraserburgh 5-1 Strathspey Thistle Huntly 2-3 Turriff United Rothes 11-1 Fort William Cove Rangers P-P Clachnacuddin (Cove in LC action) Keith P-P Forres Mechanics "Keith Football Club mourns the loss of a truly great servant, friend and colleague with the sad passing today of their honorary President Sandy Stables." - Posted Friday, hence the postponement. Good starts for Brora, Fraserburgh, Inverurie and Formartine, all sides who could be challenging Cove for this year's title. Fort William already setting themselves up for another awful season, which seems to be every year. Lowland League Results Civil Service Strollers 0-0 Vale of Leithen East Kilbride 10-0 Selkirk Edusport Academy 4-1 Whitehill Welfare Gala Fairydean 1-2 Cumbernauld Colts Gretna 2008 0-3 Edinburgh University Kelty Hearts 2-2 Dalbeattie Star Spartans 2-2 Stirling University East Kilbride quick to stake their claim as title contenders again this season. Kelty begin life in the Lowland League with a draw after a last minute equaliser. Champions Spartans were held to a draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Ricky Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Thanks for posting this Cornwall. Great result from East Kilbride but a bit of a shock for Spartans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSS Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 I think this is Fort Williams last season in the HL.There's a plan for them to join an Amateur League. Hopefully they can grab 2nd bottom place this season with Strathspey finishing bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others have had some poor years but it's an annual occurrence for Fort. I do wonder if there would be any opportunity for another tier up there, in the same way Lowland is connected to the EOS/SOS leagues. I had a look when trying to find out who was in with a chance of promotion to the Lowland League last season, only found one other (Highland based) league on that website and it wasn't connected to the Highland League.

E=Mc2 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 2-2 draws are obviously Spartan’s favoured score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think Fort William, given the size of town and the relative isolation from other Highland towns, would have a much better team than they have. I guess football maybe just isn't their thing.

HSS Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Fort William fined £150 and deducted 9 points for playing ineligible players in 3 occasions. They now have a points total of -9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Ricky Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 The Premiership and other leagues are coming along nicely. Hearts top with 4 wins on the trot. Their manager in hospital but recovering. Livvy performing above expectations and their assistant manager the subject of a recovery order for proceeds of serious crime. (reportedly). Dundee pointless after 4 games and Kenny Miller now playing for them. Celtic beat the Govan Team. Three managers gone already.... Miller, Hartley and McKinnon (to Falkirk). Scottish football certainly isn't dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
