Excellent article in a part of the country where football very much takes a back seat to the oval ball game so it's very much a struggle for these teams.

Yes, it’s good isn’t it. And I Agree with Stravaigar, the photos are excellent.

I often enjoy reading about the wee teams such as in the this article far more than about the bigger teams, and like to follow the fortunes of both the Highland and Lowland Leagues. This is a good read, though as the article is Borders country related would have liked to see a wee mention of Vale of Leithen (the other border team) (yet a few non border country Whitehall Welfare photos, and one of Raydale but nice to see the photos). C'mon the wee teams!

Totally agree Sturie. I’ve spent a bit of time in the last 6 months up north and saw a few HL games. These wee teams are the very essence of football and i’d rather go to see a Hughland League game than go to Old Trafford to line the pockets of the already rich. Really. I’ll take in some Lowland League games too hopefully.

Interesting article from Nutmeg magazine following the one from the last issue which included a great piece on Stephen Dobbie.
