NEW LEAGUE: GLASGOW AND DISTRICT LEAGUE

The final new league is the first in Scotland. Also consisting of six teams who will play a thirty game schedule, the Glasgow and District League features five clubs from in and around the city as well as one from nearby Paisley. Owing to concerns about available daylight time at a higher latitude in spring and autumn, games in the first three weeks and last three weeks of the season will begin at 2pm rather than 3pm.

From the centre of Glasgow come Dundashill Distillery, who are the distillery's works team and play on an area of converted wasteground alongside. They play in gold jerseys, with a simplified outline of a pot still as their logo. To the south of the city are Lanark-Renfrew Border, whose name gives away their location on the border of the counties of Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire - with the infield of their home ground lying in the former and the outfield in the latter. Their jerseys are dark blue with the letters 'L' and 'R' in dark red on either side of the chest. Govan Cross play just outside the city itself and like Middlesex side Edmonton, take their name from the place where the club's founders used to meet to arrange practices. Govan play in dark gold with a silver cross logo and the club's initials in blue.

Just across the River Clyde from Govan are Burgh of Partick, who play in black jerseys with the club name embroidered in red. They play at the West of Scotland Cricket Ground in Partick. Tollcross Burn play out to the east of Glasgow and began as the works team of the nearby Clyde Iron Works, although they now accept players from outside the works. Their jerseys are green, with stripes in a darker shade of green. Furthest away from Glasgow are White Cart Water, who come from Paisley and are named after the river that runs through the town. They play in a field alongside the river and their colours are blue and gold.

LOGOS AND UNIFORMS:
Top Row (L-R): Burgh of Partick, Dundashill Distillery, Govan Cross
Bottom Row (L-R): Lanark-Renfrew Border, Tollcross Burn, White Cart Water
