The draw for the 1st & 2nd rounds of this season’s Scottish Communities Cup (formerly known as the Scottish Junior Cup) was drawn this week at the home of the competitions newest members, Castlemilk Community Football Club.
We received a bye in the first round, courtesy of our involvement in the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup for the first time, and in the second round draw Troon were drawn at home to WOSFL Premier Division side Drumchapel United. Our match will take place on the weekend of Saturday 19th September at Portland Park.
