North Region Junior football returns this weekend with three of the bosses in the top-flight Super League hoping first and foremost for a full campaign. “We’ve all these games in-between, like the Scottish Cup, but the bread and butter is the league. The champions begin their league campaign at home to Maud, and know at the end of the season the 2021/22 Super League winners will have the chance to progress to the Highland League via a new play-off route. However, like Watt, Youngson – who will take his team to Deveronside on Saturday – is simply pleased by the prospect of a league season played to a conclusion. Muirhead has also lost players during Junior football’s period in stasis, to retirement and the Highland League, and he feels it’s difficult to bring in experienced replacements in the current market.
