Carluke played their first ever external cup tie in the West of Scotland Cup 2nd Round and managed an impressive away victory against Ashvale Victoria from the Fosters Central League Division One.  They won the tie 6-4 and received huge praise for their conduct during the game.

Well done and good luck in Round 3.

May I take this chance to wish everyone an enjoyable & successful season.

May we all remember what SECL is all about!

Please note the following changes to the fixture list, where the home and away teams have been swapped round:

All matches for the new season have been set to a default kick off time of 10.00am on Saturday mornings.

If your home games kick off at a different time, for example 9.30am in the case of Sherwood, please let Andrew McIntyre know using the Contact us form so the web site can be updated.

Thanks.
