THE Sauchie Cup is back for another year.

The annual friendly competition officially marks Sauchie Juniors' pre-season kicking off, with the Reds' first team joining their U20s in the tournament.

Also taking part this year will be their U19s squad and neighbouring Alva Amateurs, during four games to take place this afternoon.

The club announced the return of the tournament, stating: "This pre-season sees the return of the Sauchie Cup for what will be its third year, taking place this Saturday.

"While the competition sees our first team, under 20s and under 19s squads involved, we are also pleased to welcome Alva Amaterus to Beechwood Park for what will be a day packed full of football.

"We can confirm that the bar will be open, so get yourself along and show your support."

Four matches will take place throughout the day - firstly, Alva Amaterus will play the Sauchie U20s at 10.30am.

The first team will play their U19 counterparts at 11.45am, while the losers of these two ties meet at 1.45pm to decide third place.

The winners of the two matches will then meet in the final at 3.10pm, to decide the Sauchie Cup 2025 champion.
