The league have announced a speakers night, with a two course dinner, will be held on 17th July at Legends Bar Diner in Cambuslang

As numbers are limited, each club will take two tickets to attend the event

Further details on the night to follow

The AGM was held on Monday 24th July, and a few highlights of the meeting follow

With some changes of roles, the existing 8 man Executive committee were elected unopposed. The clubs also approved one change to the league constitution, which will now be sent to the SAFA for approval

Reports from all the office bearers were presented, and questions asked from the floor, albeit as it was a zoom, they were from the screen..lol

The main consideration was to the league structure, given that 20-21 was a wipe out. It was unanimously approved that he Premier Division and Development Section stay unchanged. However, the Exec proposed that the championship remain in 3 divisions, on a regional basis, to keep any future covid effects to a minimum. Promotion and relegation was declared, and then unanimously approved by the management committee, the clubs themselves. It was also agreed that despite the delays due to covid, the league would return to a 3 tier system, along with a development section for 2022-23 season

Several clubs, refs and exec members are also running a EUROS sweep to raise some funds, and the normal club sweep was held

This years Annual General Meeting has been called on 24th May 2021, to be held by zoom conference.

Matters to be discussed and approved is the election of the Executive Committee, along with the League set-up for 21-22

The league are also holding a Euro’s competition for clubs, refs and members, with a £20 entry fee.

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.

Our new Football For All campaign, launching today, will inject more than £1.5M of funding into the national game.

Clubs can now apply for funding in the following areas:
➡️ Grassroots Club Recovery Fund
➡️ Girls’ and Women’s Recovery Fund

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’.
