Highland League Cup 22-23

The Highland League Cup is contested by all eighteen members of the Highland Football League in a straight knockout format.

A preliminary round of two ties will be used to whittle the number of clubs down to sixteen for the First Round. 

Brora Rangers are the current holders having defeated Buckie in last season’s final.

Ian Davidson has recently published a new book – ‘History of the Highland League Cup Final’ – details from davidsoni1@btinternet.com
