NEW TOURNAMENT: SCOTTISH COUNTIES CHAMPIONSHIP
Scotland joins England in having a representative competition based around its historic counties, with four teams taking part in a direct knockout tournament just as was seen in the early years in England. Two of the teams come from the west of Scotland, namely Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire, while the others come from the east. Those will be Fife and Midlothian, although the latter will compete under the county’s alternative name of Edinburghshire.
The semi-finals will be played on a regional basis with the two western teams meeting in one game and the two eastern teams in the other. Home advantage was won by Fife and Lanarkshire on the toss of a coin. The semi-finals will be played on the final Saturday in February, with the final on the first Saturday in March.
LOGOS AND UNIFORMS:
