Six months into the footballing year and we have a break to coincide (mostly) with the school holidays and an irregular Scottish phenomenon known as “summer”. Here’s a story-so-far review of the season/years, featuring league tables and cup results alongside thoughts, observations and random musings.
As you know the regional youth set up in girls’ football is split into six geographical and distinct regions. I say ‘distinct’ because there are different approaches to the footballing calendar within each of them. What works in one region may not necessarily work in another, especially with the great distances between teams in some areas.
14s
North and South West had grading friendlies at 14s, which seemed to last forever, but have now settled into their leagues with fixtures set to the end of November. Both East and South East had three leagues at 14s in the first half of the year, which appear, to some, to have been nothing more than glorified grading friendlies as the leagues are slightly rejigged over the summer and all the results are zeroed. No word, at time of writing, about Central but I believe there’s some reshuffling of the leagues there too, while West has two leagues with fixtures from February through to November.
16s
North region had grading friendlies at 16s and their two leagues – Kim Little and Rachael Boyle – have been very competitive. The two East 16s leagues have been altered. Central 16s play right through to the end of November but we’re still awaiting confirmation on the South East 16s leagues. West 16s is probably one of my favourite leagues because it’s a proper big league (16 teams) with five teams currently separated by 6 points. South West also goes from February to November.
18s
With not enough teams to justify 18s leagues in the North, East and South East regions, 21 teams across these regions played a League Cup split initially into groups. Similarly, Central, West and South West joined together for a cross-region 18s Emma Mukandi league. Neither competition was without issues but more on that later.
While every attempt has been made to be as factually correct as possible, feel free to message me should you see any errors, whether they be factual or typographic. With the sheer volume of information here, the occasional faux pas may slip through. Corrections will be made as and when I’m informed.
14s North Rachel Corsie
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-north-rc.jpg?w=980)
Westdyke Girls kicked off the campaign with an “away” derby win against Westdyke Girls Thistle and an unbeaten run of seven wins ensued to help them set the pace from Colony Park (one game in hand) and Aberdeen Blacks (two games adrift).
League Note: Only two unplayed fixtures from the first half of the season and two fixtures from the second half have already been played early.
14s North Christy Grimshaw
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-north-cg.jpg?w=980)
A six point spread separates four teams in a fiercely competitive Christy Grimshaw league. Both Dyce Girls and Deveronvale have a 100% record but something has to give as they kick off the second half of the season against each other on 19 August. Turriff United Youth and Banchory will be waiting for either or both to slip us as the season progresses.
League Note: Only one unplayed game from the first half of the season.
14s North Rachel McLauchlan
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-north-rmcl.jpg?w=980)
This 9-a-side league in the North is dominated by the two Ross County teams, with Inverness Reds not far behind.
League Note: Only one unplayed game from the first half of the season. One league match incorrectly dated on SWF website.
14s North League Cups/Plates
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/ict-14s-north-league-cup-2023.jpg?w=962)
Rachel Corsie league leaders Westdyke Girls lost in the 2nd Round to Colony Park, who went all the way to the final to play free-scoring Inverness Caledonian Thistle who hit the net 17 times in three ties. An exciting final ended 3-3 after extra time with Inverness edging the penalty shoot-out 4-3.
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/westdyke-14s-league-plate-winnersr-2023-1.jpg?w=680)
Westdyke Girls made up for their early exit in the League Cup with two home wins in the Plate before defeating Moray Girls 6-3 in the final.
The 14s North Highlands & Islands League Cup is being run as a league with Ross County leading the way from Forres and ICT Reds after a handful of games.
14s East Caroline Weir
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-east-cw.jpg?w=980)
A two-horse race between Forfar Farmington and Dunfermline Athletic Whites at the top, although the latter had a game in hand by the end of June. Unfortunately, the leagues are being amended over the summer so those games count for nothing. Subject to confirmation, it looks like Dundee East, East Fife and St Andrews and East Neuk will drop down to Tier 2, with Arbroath CSC Yellows, The Swifts Blues and Raith Rovers moving into Tier 1.
League Note: Five unplayed games from the first half of the season. A few errors on the SWF’s website in this league. Dunfermline Athletic Whites beat Dundee East 4-0 on 12 June, not 14 June. Both matches between East Fife and St Andrews & East Fife were reversed. The first on 16 May was won by St Andrews at home. The second match between them, on Mon 19 June, was won by East Fife in Leven 7-5. However, at time of writing, the SWF website only has one of those results but it’s listed on the wrong date. The other one is missing. A couple of other results are missing too, namely 22 June: Jeanfield Swifts Jets 0-4 Dunfermline Athletic Whites and 26 June: Dundee East 4-0 St Andrews & East Neuk.
14s East Lucy Graham
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-east-lucy.jpg?w=980)
A solitary defeat saw Arbroath CSC Yellows lead this Tier 2 league. They, alongside The Swifts Blues and Raith Rovers Ravens, will probably move up to the top tier with Dundee East, East Fife and St Andrews and East Fife going the other way. Glenrothes Strollers Reds will move up from the Lana Clelland and two new teams – Dundee United Community and Dundee United Sports Club – will enter the leagues at this level. All subject to confirmation.
League Note: Two unplayed league games. The Swifts Blues v Raith Rovers Ravens listed as 1-1 but I was informed it was 2-2. One missing result on 22 June: Kirrie Thistle 5-0 Letham Girls.
14s East Lana Clelland
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-east-lana.jpg?w=980)
Glenrothes Strollers Reds dominated this league with 11 wins out of 11 and are moving up a tier after the summer break. Kennoway Star Hearts will take their place and three, possibly four, teams will join the league. These teams are Dunfermline Athletic Reds, Forfar Farmington and one, possibly two, teams representing Blairgowrie.
League Note: Six unplayed games in the first half of the season. One missing result from SWF website – 31 May: Arbroath Blues 1-4 St James. Dryburgh beat Panmure 5-0 on 19 June, not 27 May.
14s East League Cup/Plate
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/dunfermline-whites-14s.jpeg?w=1024)
A one-goal quarter-final win over top tier league leaders Forfar Farmington, followed by a derby win over the Jets, saw Jeanfield Swifts Jags reach the League Cup final in June. After a tight first round win over The Swifts Blues, Dunfermline Athletic Whites went goal crazy, scoring 25 goals in three games to reach the final. Their form continued with a convincing win over the Jags.
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/the-swifts-blues-east-plate-winners.jpg?w=680)
The Swifts Blues defeated Arbroath Blues, Kirrie Thistle and East Fife before meeting Glenrothes Strollers in the final. Strollers had beaten their own Reds team in the semi-final. A close final was won 2-1 by The Swifts Blues.
14s South East Joelle Murray
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-se-joelle.jpg?w=980)
This seven-team league was dominated by Musselburgh Windsor who won all of their twelve fixtures. Broxburn Athletic Colts were the best of the rest. It looks like Lauderdale and Spartans Beveridge will drop out of the top tier after the break, with five teams replacing them. Subject to confirmation.
League Note: Four unplayed games in the first half of the season.
14s South East Lizzie Arnot
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-se-lizzie.jpg?w=980)
A single defeat in eleven games saw Murieston United lead this league at the end of June, with four teams within four points of each other just behind. Those teams five look to be moved up to Tier 1 in August with Lauderdale and Spartans Beveridge dropping into this league, joined by four new teams from the third tier.
League Note: Six unplayed games in the first half of the season.
14s South East Frankie Brown
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-se-frankie.jpg?w=980)
Blackburn United Whites topped this fourteen-team league heading into the summer, with Melrose and Boroughmuir Thistle Whites not far behind.
League Note: Eight unplayed games in the first half of the season. Five missing results on the SWF website:
3 June: Boroughmuir Thistle Whites 8-1 Musselburgh Windsor Whites
17 June: Boroughmuir Thistle Whites 2-3 Melrose
21 June: Hutchison Vale 3-0 Boroughmuir Thistle Braves (awarded?)
24 June: Bathgate Colts Blacks 3-11 Blackburn United Whites
25 June: Eyemouth United 2-7 Winchburgh Albion
14s South East League Cup/Plate
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/musselburgh-windsor-14s-league-cup-winners-2023.jpg?w=1024)
Tier 1 table-topping Musselburgh Windsor defeated Tier 2 Boroughmuir Thistle Purples 3-0 in the League Cup final in June.
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/broxburn-athletic-colts-14s-se-league-plate-winners-2023.jpg?w=554)
Neither of the finalists in the League Plate had conceded a goal en route to the final so something had to give. One goal for Broxburn Athletic Colts four minutes from the end of extra time saw the West Lothian team victorious over Bonnyrigg Rose.
14s Central Sam Kerr
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-central-sam.jpg?w=980)
A 100% record over 10 games saw Holytown Colts Reds lead the Sam Kerr league at the summer break. Motherwell and Milton Girls, with just one defeat apiece, stood 2nd and 3rd. It looks like four teams will drop to tier 2 with three coming up.
League Note: Eight unplayed games in the first half of the season. A couple of games played on 13 May but listed on SWF as 14 May.
14s Central Nicola Docherty
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-central-nd.jpg?w=980)
A solitary defeat for Westerton United saw them take a three-point advantage over Dunipace. Both those teams, along with Rossvale Red, will move to the top tier after the summer.
League Note: No unplayed games. Kilsyth withdrew from this league in February and Wasps Community withdrew in May after playing five games.
14s Central Fiona Brown
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-central-fiona.jpg?w=980)
Coming into the summer Falkirk 13s and Cumbernauld Colts Blues were neck and neck on 18 points, with Rossvale Yellows a further three points back. Sauchie Amateurs withdrew before the start of the season and Westerton United Blues dropped out without playing a game.
League Note: One unplayed game in the first half of the season.
14s Central League Cup/Plate
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/holytown-colts-reds-1.jpg?w=680)
Despite a spirited performance from Riverside Maroons in the League Cup final, it just wasn’t enough as Holytown Colts Red ran out 5-2 winners after extra time.
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/stirling-albion-14s-central-league-plate-winners-2023.jpg?w=680)
Stirling Albion won a close League Plate final 3-2 over Dunipace. Nice to see new teams emerging and being successful.
14s West Jen Beattie
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-west-jb.jpg?w=980)
The top four places in this league were separated by just four points. Glasgow Girls 14s (1st) and Glasgow City Orange (3rd) finished unbeaten.
League Note: Seven unplayed games in the first half of the season.
14s West Chloe Arthur
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-west-ca.jpg?w=980)
A very competitive Chloe Arthur league saw Glasgow City Black top the table with 11 wins out of 11. The four teams just behind them had 24 points each.
League Note: Ten unplayed games in the first half of the season. Hillwood Girls withdrew in mid-April from this league. Drumchapel United 5-0 Morton Whites incorrectly dated as 22 April on SWF website. Actually played on 26 April (confirmed by Usqor).
14s West League Cup/Plate
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/glasgow-girls-14s-west-league-cup-winners-2023.jpg?w=1024)
Glasgow Girls 14s defeated Glasgow City Orange 3-0 in the League Cup final and didn’t concede a goal in the tournament.
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/houston-united-plate-winners.jpg?w=680)
Houston United defeated St Mirren 3-2 after extra time in an entertaining League Plate final.
14s South West Erin Cuthbert
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-sw-erin-.jpg?w=980)
After weeks of grading friendlies, the league finally kicked off in April. A short first half saw Queen of the South and Cambuslang in the top 2 spots with unbeaten records. They have still to play each other twice.
League Note: Seven unplayed games in the first half of the season. Cambusdoon 1-1 EKFC played 11 June, not 10 June. Fixtures listed for 12 August and 16 August are exactly the same.
14s South West Lee Gibson
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-14s-sw-lee.jpg?w=980)
East Kilbride Thistle Reds led the way at the break although unbeaten Ardrossan Winton Rovers had two games in hand.
League Note: Eleven unplayed games in the first half of the season.
14s South West League Cup/Plate
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/queen-of-the-south-14s-sw-league-cup-winners.jpg?w=960)
Clark Drive belied their lowly league position to reach the final, only to lose 2-1 to a last minute winner for league leaders Queen of the South.
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/cambuslang-14s-sw-league-plate-winners-1.jpg?w=934)
Cambuslang’s defeat to Hamilton in the League Cup saw them drop into the League Plate where they defeated Heston Rovers Belles in the final.
16s North Kim Little
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-16s-north-kim-little.jpg?w=980)
The league began in April after a series of grading friendlies. Three teams went into the summer break unbeaten (Aberdeen, Ross County and Westdyke Girls) with Aberdeen topping the pile.
League Note: Four unplayed games in the first half of the season and one already played from the second half.
16s North Rachael Boyle
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-16s-north-rachael-boyle.jpg?w=980)
Seven wins out of seven saw Deveronvale hold off the challenge of Aberdeen West End.
League Note: No unplayed games in the first half of the season. Banchory Girls withdrew. As at 9 July, Grampian’s 4-3 win over Colony Park on 1 July is not reflected in the SWF’s table.
16s North League Cup
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/westdyke-16s-league-cup-winners-2023.jpg?w=680)
Westdyke Girls and Thistle Youth contested the League Cup final. A tight game went to extra time where Westdyke pulled away for a 4-1 victory.
16s East Caroline Weir
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-16s-east-cw-2.jpg?w=980)
Dryburgh Athletic led this 7-team league from East Fife and Forfar Farmington. The bottom three (Raith Rovers Raiders, Arbroath CSC and Scone Thistle) will drop to tier 2.
League Note: Four unplayed games in the first half of the season. Montrose withdrew before the season started. (Updated on 10 July with an awarded result).
16s East Abbi Grant
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-16s-east-ag.jpg?w=980)
Bayside led this league going into the break although second placed East 15s had a game in hand. Jeanfield Swifts were sitting in third and those three teams look likely to move up to tier 1 in August. Blairgowrie, who only played friendlies in the first half of the season, look like to join competitively after the summer.
League Note: Two unplayed games in the first half of the season. Bayside’s 9-1 win over Blairgowrie on 3 June incorrectly reflected in SWF’s table as Blairgowrie only playing friendlies and their results shouldn’t be in the table.
16s East League Cup
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/forfar-farmington-16s-se-league-cup-winners-1.jpg?w=826)
Dryburgh’s first round defeat away at Forfar Farmington paved the way for their two nearest league rivals to contest the final of the League Cup, with Forfar Farmington narrowly defeating East Fife 15s 2-1.
Cup note: Kennoway Star Hearts defeated Bayside 3-1 on penalties after a 3-3 draw in the quarter finals only for Bayside to be awarded the tie on appeal. This appeal was upheld only for Bayside to withdraw from the subsequent semi-final as the date clashed with a foreign trip. This gave Forfar Farmington a bye to the final.
16s South East Joelle Murray
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-16s-se-joelle.jpg?w=980)
A hotly contested league saw four teams finish within three points of each other. Bonnyrigg and Livingston topped with 15 points, although the latter had two games in hand.
League Note: Three unplayed games in the first half of the season. Musselburgh Windsor 5-13 Hibs was played on 4 May, not 6 May (confirmed by Usqor).
16s South East Lizzie Arnot
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-16s-se-lizzie.jpg?w=980)
Murieston United led the way with an unbeaten record from Spartans Reilly.
League Note: Two unplayed games in the first half of the season. A couple of results listed under the wrong dates on SWF website.
16s South East League Cup
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/livingston-16s-se-league-cup-winners.jpg?w=680)
Tie of the 2nd Round saw Joelle Murray league leaders Bonnyrigg and Livingston clash with the away team winning 2-1. They met Spartans Harrison in the final and ran out 4-2 winners.
16s Central Lee Gibson
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-16s-central-lee.jpg?w=980)
Central Girls topped the league at the halfway mark with a 100% record from Glasgow City Orange and Rossvale.
League Note: Seven unplayed games in the first half of the season. The only 16s league that regularly plays on a Sunday, while the other 16s leagues usually play on Saturdays. I wonder why that is. Can anyone enlighten me?
16s Central League Cup
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/central-girls-16s-league-cup-winners-2023-1.jpg?w=509)
Their league form meant that Central Girls started favourites and were worthy of the tag. After defeating nearest league rivals Glasgow City Orange in the first round, subsequent wins over Airdrie and Rossvale saw them face Riverside in the final. Central ran out 6-1 winners.
16s West Leanne Crichton
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-16s-west-leanne.jpg?w=980)
This is probably my favourite league. Not only is it a big 16-team league with the fixtures already sorted from February until November but it’s also one of the closest and therefore most competitive. At the halfway mark of the season, Dumbarton United and St Mirren have 39 points, with Glasgow Girls (100% record and with games in hand), Giffnock Black and Morton not far behind.
League Note: Although there are 15 games unplayed games from the first half of the season, this is also the league with the most fixtures played with teams having played between 12 and 17 so far. There’s also an abandoned game to be replayed. On the SWF website the fixtures for Saturday 17 June were wrongly listed as 18 June. Drumchapel beat Athena 3-2 on 3 May, not 5 March. I have the 13 June match between Glasgow City White and BSC Glasgow as a 7-0 win for the home team but the SWF website has it listed as 3-0, with no indication of an award. Can anyone confirm the right result?
16s West League Cup
This was probably one of the most open League Cups with a number of teams fancying their chances. Glasgow Girls and Giffnock Black contested the final but unfortunately the game was abandoned when a spectator fell ill during the game. No date has been set for it to be replayed as yet. Thankfully the spectator has made a full recovery.
16s South West Erin Cuthbert
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-16s-sw-erin.jpg?w=980)
Queen of the South Whites led the way going into the break from Glasgow City Black, Ardrossan Winton Rovers and Queen of the South Blues.
League Note: Seven unplayed games in the first half of the season. Kilbirnie dropped out before the league started and Stewarton Annick withdrew in April. I was led to believe that Ardrossan Winton Rovers v Cumnock on 27 May (originally scheduled for 17 May) was ‘awarded’ but nothing official yet.
16s South West League Cup
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/qos-16s-sw-league-cup.jpeg?w=1024)
There was a good chance that at least one Queen of the South team would reach the final and so it proved as Queen of the South Blues defeated Ardrossan Winton Rovers 6-0.
18s North/East/South East League Cup
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/jeanfield-swifts-18s-league-cup-2023-winners-1.jpg?w=680)
As previously mentioned, there weren’t enough teams in each of the three regions to make competitive leagues, so they were formed into a three-group League Cup. I’m not sure why they didn’t go with four groups, to make qualification calculation easier.
Group 1 was dominated by Jeanfield Swifts and Penicuik Athletic, Group 2 saw Musselburgh Windsor, Dunfermline Athletic and Raith Rovers Colts qualify for the quarter-finals where they were joined by Livingston, Aberdeen and Musselburgh Windsor Whites from Group 3. The other teams went into the Plate competition.
The League Cup final was contested by the two teams from Group A – Jeanfield Swifts and Penicuik Athletic. Jeanfield had won their group encounter 5-2 and got the better again, albeit with a much closer 3-2 win after a spirited fightback by Penicuik.
18s North/East/South East League Plate
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/boness-united-18s-league-plate-winners-2023.jpg?w=680)
Eleven teams contested the League Plate with Bo’ness United and Dryburgh serving up a six-goal thriller in the final. It went to penalties with Bo’ness United triumphing 5-4.
Cup Notes – Group A: One unplayed game in this group. Glenrothes Strollers withdrew in April due to a shortage of players but one of their results is still reflected in the SWF’s table.
Cup Notes – Group B: All games played. AM Soccer withdrew in February.
Cup Notes – Group C: One game unplayed. Dundee West withdrew in February.
18s Cross Region (Central/West/South West) Emma Mukandi
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/090723-18s-cross-emma.jpg?w=980)
There didn’t seem to be a week going by without the composition of this league changing, for several reasons. Initially there were 16 teams, only for Sauchie Amateurs to withdraw before it started. Gartcairn and Evro Girls Academy joined them as they were only to play friendlies as they were going to be joining the National Academy Performance leagues after the summer (or so they thought!) Then West Park United and Kirkfield United dropped out leaving us with just 11 teams.
When the league finally started Glasgow City were the pace setters and remained undefeated going into the summer, just ahead of Glasgow Girls and Drumchapel United.
League Note: 11 unplayed games in this league.
18s Cross Region League Cup/Plate
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/glasgow-city-18s-dev-league-cup-winners-2023.jpg?w=680)
There wasn’t a good start to the League Cup with five of the six first round ties being “awarded”. By the time we got to the semi-finals only four ties had been played. Glasgow City won the final 5-1 against Glasgow Girls.
![](https://jocknroll.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/rossvale-18s-league-plate-winners-2023.jpg?w=680)
Seven teams were in the draw for the Plate. Rossvale won a close final 3-2 against Ayr United.
There has been talk of a North 18s league and a South 18s league for the second half of the year but that’s unconfirmed at this time.
Scottish Challenge Cups
14s
This competition began in early March with ties split into the six regions. Anyone with even a passing knowledge of the conventions of sporting knockout competitions knows that you might start with 128 teams (split into 64 ties), who then become 64 teams (32 ties) and then 32 teams (16 ties) etc. until there are two teams left in the final. However, in their infinite wisdom, the SWF had conspired to put 76 teams through instead of the standard 64. This forced them to add another round towards the end of March to eliminate another 14 teams to get down to the requisite 64 teams. I pointed out this issue to two members of SWF staff and asked for their comments but I never got a reply from them.
The 4th Round, consisting of 32 teams begins again on the weekend of 26/27 August 2023, with one tie still listed as outstanding from the 3rd Round, namely Clark Drive v Inverness Caledonian Thistle, which is due to be played on 19 August. Although, on the SWF website, they seem to have already put Inverness through.
16s
This age group also began with ties split into regions. However, just like the 14s draw, the governing body made a bit of a pig’s ear of it and had 48 teams going through. The draw was amended rather than redrawn and finally we got to the appropriate number of teams (64) making it into the 2nd Round at the end of March. This issue was also pointed out in the same email as the one about the 14s draw but I never got a response from those SWF staff to that one either.
On the weekend of 26/27 August we have the last 16 ties.
18s
You would think the SWF would get at least one of the Challenge Cup draws correct. Think again.
The original draw for ties to be played on 18/19 March had 4 ties and 29 byes. That’s right, they had 33 teams going through instead of 32. It turns out they’d given Evro Girls Academy two byes! Eventually, due to the number of 18s teams folding throughout the country, the original draw was abandoned and re-done with 15 ties and 1 bye on 27/28 May. Unfortunately, seven of those 1st Round ties were either awarded or forfeited and two are still to be played. Penicuik Athletic v Forfar Farmington is scheduled for 13 August and Aberdeen v Raith Rovers Colts a week later.
The last 16 takes place on the weekend of 26/27 August.
Thanks
With six months of the year gone and another six to go there’s already been a lot of football played in 2023 with a lot more to come.
A big thank you to everyone who contributes to @GirlsResults (my home on Twitter) to make the page what it is. We continue to go from strength to strength and in the past six months we have grown from 3000 followers to 4300. I couldn’t do it without the help of all the teams, coaches, players, referees, parents and club staff who pass on scores and other information to help it become the best results service it can be.
It’s not perfect. I’m not perfect. But hopefully any issues or errors are sorted in a timely fashion. We all make mistakes but I’m always humble enough to put my hands up to them, acknowledge them, fix them and thank the person who spotted it; usually within about a few minutes. You might only have eyes for one team or league, I have dozens of leagues and hundreds of teams to look after! There have been many kind comments and I thank you for those. I also started a Buy Me a Coffee page so people could show their appreciation in a small way, but only if they can afford it.
We’ll find over the next few weeks how the regional girls leagues are set up for the last 5/6 months of the year. I believe that changes are afoot for the National Performance Leagues and the set up for the women’s leagues has already been announced. Plenty of football to come and hopefully I can get to more matches. Usually my weekend is spent in Jeff Stelling mode, glued to my computer in the mancave, collating and publishing the results and tables. As much as I enjoy that I’m going to try to get out and about more in the second half of the season to meet some of the contributors to the site.
Enjoy what’s left of the summer and I’ll see you all in August.
