The SFA hvae announced a £1.5million package for grassroots clubs, in order to help clubs get back up to speed and get more people playing.
All clubs are encouraged to look at this, as in these times, any funding would be welcome for clubs.

Drumchapel United will join the league for 21-22 season, moving from another league to join us
All member clubs approved the admission at a management zoom meeting, and all welcome them.
Despite a terrible year and a third, with the pandemic, the league are delighted that no clubs have faltered in that time, and all will return to action for 21-22 season.
After meetings with the member clubs, and our referee’s, it has been unanimously agreed that a new app will be used by the league. It removes the need for paper documents by 95%, and will enable real time information, scores, updated league tables to happen automatically.
The app has been designed by we.soccer, and the league are delighted to take it onboard. It will have immense benefits for all users.
A vote taken from all clubs has determined two decisions.
The outstanding 3 cups from 2019-20 season, WILL still be played, providing that they are played by 11th June 2021
The clubs have agreed that providing we can start fixtures under government regulation, that our cup qualifying competition groups will start in July 2021
At a full meeting of the leagues management Committee, it was sadly decided that given the state and level of the pandemic, any attempts to have any meaningful competition standard of games, was impossible to achieve.
This is a decision not made lightly, but the overall safety of our members has to come first.
Once we can start playing games, it was felt that clubs could concentrate on getting players fit and match ready to start the 2021-22 season
The recent announcement from the Scottish Government places all our clubs at tier 3. This means we are still unable now to play any form of football. We are continuing, and ask you to do the same, pressuring our MSP’s to call on the Government to ‘LET US PLAY’.
Sadly, the Kastle Decor Strathclyde Cup Semi final had to be postponed and will now be scheduled for another date to be arranged by the Match Secretary
