Northern Floorball League

The Northern Floorball League has again expanded for the coming season with two news teams joining the league, however last seasons champions - Glenrothes - have had to pull out due to a combination of circumstances.  They intend to come back in season 2008/9 though as they take time to recruit more players.  Aberdeen Oilers - who participated in the Nationals and Spring Cup in 2007 - are joined by the new team from Central Scotland - Forth Phoenix. Forth will comprise a few players who played for Balwearie Thunder last season and some of whom are returning the sport to the Boness area from whence they came.  

So the full list of teams for season 2007/8 are:

Chapel, Dundee Northern Lights, Balwearie Thunder, Hawick, RBS Linlithgow, Balwearie Lightning, Aberdeen Oilers, and Forth Phoenix.

Hawick win - Christmas Cup in Glenrothes

Hawick - boosted by some Glenrothes floorballers - beat shock finalists Balwearie Thunder 6-2 in the Final of the 2007 Xmas Cup. Shock results of the day were RBS Linlithgow beating Dundee Northern Lights 2-1 in the quarter finals and Balwearie Thunder gaining a first ever win (4-3) against Chapel.

Full results can be seen below next to the league fixtures.

The fixture list for the coming season proved to be quite challenging to sort out using two venues and keeping Dundee at home.  Some teams have to play back to back games but breaks have been scheduled to make that easier for the teams in question.  Three of the league committee spent a bit of time and came up with the following:
