East of Scotland League – Conference A 18-19

The East of Scotland League sits at Tier 6 of the SFA’s “pyramid”, below the Lowland League and parallel with the South of Scotland League.

There is no automatic promotion or relegation from the East of Scotland League, though the champions can play off against the South of Scotland League champions for a place in the Lowland League if they meet SFA Club License criteria.  Kelty Hearts won this play off against Threave Rovers last season.

Last season there were only thirteen clubs in the EOSL – this has been greatly expanded this year with the influx of twenty-six new clubs, mainly from junior football.   To deal with the unprecedented influx of new members, the league will be organised into three parallel ‘conferences’ this season.

The clubs will be re-organised into divisions on merit next season with the top five in each Conference guaranteed to join the new Premier Division.

Clubs will play each other twice to give a league programme of 24 games.  Matches in this league usually kick off at 2.30pm, with earlier starts in mid-winter at grounds with no floodlighting.
