Back to Islands then, and where better
than a league that is presently in full flow, the OrkneyAmateur
Football Association “Orkney Cheese” A league. Bit of a mouthful
even for Charlotte thingy on the BBC.
With teams having played 9 or so games
this summer, Kirkwall Rovers are well top, Kirkwall Thorfinn are
second and Kirkwall Hotspurs third, two points behind. Bit of a
leaning towards Kirkwall then, not surprising with half the 20,000
population of the Isles living in the “capital”.
Elsewhere in the archipelago, its
Stromness Athletic, Rendall, Dounby, Firth fighting for places and St Andrews coming up
the rear with only 2 points.
There is the Clark Thomson Insurance B
league with poor old Holm scoring NIL POINTS after 9 games and
finally the CTI Reserve league, with clubs big enough to have a
reserve league offering sides. Needless to say Kirkwall has much to
say in this with those three teams queueing up behind Rendell.
Other Scottish leagues include the Sutherland Drug and Alcohol
Forum NW Sutherland Amateur Football Association League (yes all one
title , and the William Wilson Skye & Localsh AFA before we get
to the MacLean Ross-Shire Welfare FA and the Caithness AFA South of
Scotland League and the Press and Journal Highland League, with clubs
like Deveronvale and Cove Rangers in their midst who appear in the Scottish Cup
from time to time.
Throw in some ladies football and
juniors and we can assume that all is well in the far reaches of the
UK.
