Sunday 11th December 2022 will see the third running of Raith Rovers Walking Football’s Christmas cup. Won in 2019 by Raith Rovers and in 2021 by Braehead FC, this year will see 10 teams competing for the trophy at Starks Park, Kirkcaldy.

Group 1

Saints in the Community
A long established Walking Football Scotland team, Saints finished 11th in the East of Scotland League this year. Despite their lowly league position they are a hard team to beat having drawn 9 of their league games.

Braehead FC
Last year’s Christmas Cup winners and an impressive fourth position in their first competitive year in the Central League.

Fife Wanderers 65
One of two Fife Wanderers teams in this year’s competition, this looks to be the squad that will compete in next years over 65s league competition. On their day a hard team to beat.

Fairfield B
One of two Fairfield teams in this year’s competition. Fairfield finished fifth in the East league in their inaugural season this year. A resilient team, always up for a game.

Raith Rovers Reds
Another team that are here as one of a pair. This Rovers’ version consists of newly league qualified players some of whom will be looking to stake a claim in next year’s league team.

Group 2

Crieff Juniors
Third place in this year’s East league by two goals despite matching St James on goals scored and scoring more than Arbroath.

Fife Wanderers
The other Fife Wanderers’ team in this year’s competition. A ninth position in this year’s league doesn’t do Wanderers justice and they always show up well in this competition.

Raith Rovers Blues
Raith Rovers league squad finished eighth in the East league this year in what was a disappointing showing for the former Scottish Cup winners.

Dunfermline Dynamos
A hard season for Dunfermline in the league with many injury problems leading to some game forfeits. A stubborn side who, on their day, can match most teams in the league.

Fairfield A
The second of Fairfield’s entries this year who will no doubt be looking to make it to the final against Fairfield B.

Teams in each group will play each other once and then the teams in matching positions in each group will play to decide the final cup positions.

First game kicks off at 12:30 with access for teams and supporters from 12. Spectating for the group stages will be from the North Stand with the Main Stand being used for the Final.
Sunday’s weather looks to be dry but cold so wrap up warm and enjoy the fun.
