What is the format of the South Challenge Cup?
The competition features 163 senior non-league clubs from the Lowland League, East of Scotland Football League, South of Scotland Football League, and West of Scotland Football League, with Carluke Rovers sitting out this season’s competition for disciplinary reasons..
The opening two rounds of last year’s competition were regionalised but this has been changed for this season, now giving us an “all-in” draw.
