2019/20
S&JD Robertson Primary Indoor League
Saturday 14th December was the final night of indoor football before the festive break and it really brought excitement galore and leaves everything poised on a knife edge ready for the resumption on 11th January.
In the Dunkirk Cup St Andrews Dynamos continued their great form and, despite a draw in the first game with Hope Terriers, secured top spot and a place in the playoffs for this competition with 3 wins.
The second spot was much closer, with 5 teams, Hope Terriers, Shapinsay, Orphir Torpedos, Glaitness Spurs and Papdale Mighty Marvels, all within a win of gaining the place. Shapinsay slipped away with a couple of losses but showed resilience in still gaining points in their final 2 games. Terriers had a good night and were pushing following a great win over Glaitness Spurs. Spurs kept themselves in the running with a tight 1-0 victory over Orphir Torpedos, who had won all 3 games up to that point. However, in the deciding game it was Papdale Mighty Marvels that secured the place by being the only team to beat Terriers so far. The remaining 4 teams will be sure to be competing with Papdale Kings and Inter Dounby when they join them in this competition next month.
In the Mount Cup it could not be tighter at the top. Following 3 wins each on the night for Stromness Predators and Papdale Flyers there is a three-way-tie at the top. Predators managed to secure a hard fought 3-1 win over Real Dounby in their performance of the night. However, in the final match of the evening, Flyers managed the narrowest of victories over St Andrews Hurricanes 2-1 meaning the Predators and Flyers join Hurricanes on top with no way to split the teams!
Real Dounby now find themselves a couple of wins behind these top teams but with all teams playing each other again, and so little between each of these teams, they will not be counting themselves out of the race just yet! Also on the winning trail were Galitness United, St Andrews Cyclones and Papdale Dales, all with 2 wins each on the night.
In the Shore Shield, Evie/Firth Raptors took an important win over Hope Hotspurs. However, they failed to capitalise on this with Papdale Dales beating them in a tight match, and Hope winning their remaining 2 games to also keep this competition tight for the second half of the season.

S&JD Robertson Primary Indoor League
The first two Saturday’s (26 Oct and 2 Nov) have seen some very exciting football in the preliminary rounds of the Primary Indoor League. Teams have been playing in 3 groups for the right to compete for the Mount and Dunkirk Cups during the league season.
Heading the way for the Mount Cup are Papdale Flyers, St Andrews Hurricanes and Real Dounby all with 100% win records. Papdale Flyers recorded a good win over rivals Stromness Predators who finished second in their group, with Papdale Dales and St Andrews Cyclones both finishing ahead of older school teams to also make the Mount Cup. Glaitness United, Papdale Kings, Inter Dounby and Evie & Firth Raptors also made the cut but the most excitement came in the final games in the Blue group. St Andrews Dynamos, Hope Hotspurs and the P5 team of Stromness Strikers all had a chance to make the top league going in to the last game. A 3 team playoff was one possible outcome if Dynamos could overcome Hotspurs but, in a very tight game, the Hope team scored a couple of good goals on the break to make it.
St Andrews Dynamos will now focus on reaching the playoffs for the Dunkirk Cup, facing the other 11 teams including, and welcoming for the first time in recent years, Shapinsay. Although they unfortunately could not make it in for the second week of fixtures due to the weather they look like being a strong addition to the league.
With the preliminary rounds now complete, this Saturday (16 Nov) sees the first matches towards the Mount Cup, Dunkirk Cup and Shore Shield. Teams will line up from 4pm in the Dunkirk Cup group and from 6pm in the Mount Cup group. With Hope Hotspurs and Evie/Firth Raptors both qualifying for the Mount Cup group these two teams will be looking to renew old rivalries in their competition to be the best Peedie School and gain the Shore Shield.
