Amateur football clubs get set for kick-off
From Saturday sides are again allowed to take to the football field and compete.
It’s the first weekend of football for months for Fife’s amateurs after their respective league seasons were called in February following the country’s move into a second lockdown at the start of the year.

And that competition, the Jon Harrison Memorial Trophy, will kick off this weekend.
Clubs have been split into eight different groups, with the winners all advancing to a knockout stage before the winner is decided.
The opening group fixtures will be played across the next three Saturdays with all kick offs at 2pm.
