Second Championship side say they would break away from Juniors in favour of pyramid

Darvel are the latest club to express their interest in breaking away from the Juniors.

The East Ayrshire side released a statement which showed their intentions to join a West of Scotland League should it be created.

They said: "Darvel Juniors have expressed an interest in joining a potential West of Scotland League (WoSL) at Tier 6 given that there was no following consensus put forward with the Pyramid Working Group (PWG).

"It is anticipated that this would act as a feeder league to the existing Tier 5 Lowland League. I think it is with little surprise that we have considered the potential to enter such a league given the level of investment in both our current facilities/playing squad.

"We will seek assurances/guidances from the necessary parties in order for us to better understand what our position would be if such a league came to fruition.

"The club will release a statement in due course when we are in receipt of further information, however, be assured that we are still dedicated to our SJFA membership at this time.

"In the interim, Darvel needs to assess our options to ensure we are maximising our potential to play at the highest playing level available to us."
