Arthurlie, 1937. Source.
It's the Scottish Junior Cup final: Darvel vs Arthurlie. Both clubs are members of the West of Scotland League Premier Division, though Arthurlie are about to drop down a division for 2024-25.
Arthurlie won the Junior Cup in 1937 and 1998. Darvel never have, but they were runners-up in 1976.
The Scottish Junior Cup was first contested in 1886-87, making it 13 years younger than the Scottish Cup proper. But because the senior cup was not played during the two world wars, the junior cup had just about caught up, but then Covid came along and the junior cup final was cancelled for two years while the senior cup pulled ahead.
Darvel's Ross Caldwell played for Morton in 2015.
This is the time of year when I put soccer posts on Sunday, but the close season is so small now I'll only do it three times.
[Darvel 2 - 1 Arthurlie.]

Mortonalia:
Morton have signed forward Lamar Reynolds from Maidstone United in the English sixth tier. Michael Garrity has signed on for two more years.
Morton have been drawn into League Cup group F with St Johnstone, Alloa, East Fife and Brechin.
The Scottish Challenge Cup has been reformatted. Clubs from Wales and Northern Ireland (and England and the Republic of Ireland) are out, before Morton ever got to play one of them. The number of Highland and Lowland League participants is up to five and six respectively, including all the ex-SPFL clubs. But the Premiership colt teams are still in it.
The Canadian Soccer League starts its 2024 season. There are four teams: Serbian White Eagles, Scarborough SC, Spanish Future Stars and Unity FC.

Before the regular season comes a tournament called the Royal Cup:

The new women's pro league is to be called the Northern Super League. Was the word Canadian unavailable?
