East of Scotland League 16-17

The South of Scotland League is a league competition which sits in the second tier 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 this league.   The winners are entitled to enter into the Scottish Cup if they are not already a licensed SFA member club.

There are currently eleven member clubs who play each other home and away to give a programme of 20 games.  Leith Athletic are the defending champions in 2016-17.

The number of member clubs took a huge hit in the summer of 2016 despite Tweedmouth Rangers joining.  Civil Service Strollers and Hawick Royal Albert left to join the Lowland League while Craigroyston went junior.  Spartans withdrew their reserve side and Duns resigned after being unable to attract players.

Matches in this league usually kick off at 2.30pm, with earlier starts in mid-winter at grounds with no floodlighting.
