The SJFA North Region runs an early season League Cup competition in sectional format, normally with all member clubs competing.
Buckie Rovers have been excluded from this season’s competition after failing to complete fixtures last year; that means there are 31 clubs involved, drawn into eight sections. The winner of each group will progress to knockout quarter finals.
