League Announcement

Clubs in the East of Scotland League have been voting this week on proposals to end the season.

The result of this vote means that the EoSFL Board’s proposal has been supported by a majority of member clubs and the following will take effect immediately.

  1. Final EoSFL standings for season 2019/20 be decided on Points Per Game (PPG)
  2. Not to relegate any club from the Premier Division this season
  3. Temporarily increase the Premier Division for one season to allow the two First Division Conference winners to be promoted
  4. Should the Premier Division champion be promoted to the SLFL they will be replaced by the Conference runner-up club which has the highest PPG
  5. At the end of season 2020/21 to promote each First Division Conference winner and relegate as many clubs as necessary to restore the Premier Division to 16 clubs.

Camelon voted ‘yes’ to end the season and also yes to a further proposal that if next season starts late, a cup (for example the league cup) should be withdrawn for a season. We feel that no club should be relegated as a result of this crisis and by the same token no team should be denied promotion as league winners. It’s not a perfect solution but we believe it is fair.

This outcome means that Camelon Juniors FC finish a very creditable fifth place. Although this was a shortened season it still had many highlights including playing in the Scottish cup for the first time and recording three wins over Linlithgow Rose – the 5-1 victory is one that will never be forgotten.

The Committee would like to thank all our fans, players and sponsors for their efforts this year. On a personal note, the sight of our players out delivering food to those in need at this time is by far the thing we are most proud of, as it’s shown what Camelon Juniors and the people connected with it are all about.

Please stay safe. We look forward to welcoming you back to Carmuirs Park as soon as it is deemed safe to do so.

CJFC invite Thomas Cook employees and affected customers to this Saturdays match

Everyone at CJFC was shocked and saddened to hear the news of Thomas Cook’s demise this morning. We feel especially for local people who worked for the company, and those who have had their holidays cancelled as a direct result.

There’s obviously nothing we can do for the company, but we can do something for the local people affected. So as a small token of support, the CJFC committee wish to invite those who have lost their Thomas Cook job this week and also those who have had their Thomas Cook holiday cancelled, to come and watch our first team play this Saturday for free. Staff should make themselves known at the gate and holiday makers should bring their booking.

The match, against Crossgates Primrose, kicks off at 2:30pm, but allow plenty of time to get through the gate. We look forward to welcoming you and hopefully taking your mind off things at least for 90 minutes.

South & East of Scotland Cup-Winners Shield

On Saturday 8 December, we travel to New King Edward Park in Lockerbie to take on Bonnyton Thistle in the South & East of Scotland Cup-Winners Shield.  Its a 3pm kick off.

For the uninitiated, because we won the Alex Jack Cup (that is being presented to us this Saturday – 24 November), we now face the Southern Counties FA Alba Cup winner (Bonnyton Thistle) for a guaranteed place in next season’s William Hill Scottish Cup.

So this is your chance to come and cheer on the mighty Mariners in our most important cup final for some time.  To help you do that, once again we can offer you the chance to travel on the team bus.  £10 gets you a seat on the bus that will be leaving Carmuirs Park at 11am.  If you’d like a seat, please let us know as soon as possible by dropping us a message by email or through Social Media.  You can of course make your own way there and we’d love to have as many fans as possible with us to cheer the lads on.  Note that kick off is 3pm.  Hope to see you there!
