In a last Sunday for the Scottish Women’s Championship which saw Livingston lift the trophy, Renfrew Ladies were beaten by Ayr United while Rossvale beat the champions 2-1 at the Tony Macaroni arena to move into second.  Renfrew now face their rivals at home on Tuesday night knowing only a win will do, in a match rearranged due to the original scheduled game being abandoned on 14 May because of a serious injury (broken leg) to Renfrew player Aimee Morrison. Renfrew have announced entry to the game will be free, with a 7:45 kick off at New Western Park.

The side which finishes second will face Stirling University at Broadwood Stadium on Sunday 4th June for a place in the SWPL 2.

Elsewhere in the Championship, Dryburgh Athletic and Inverness Caledonian Thistle ended their seasons on a high with wins over Morton and Hutchison Vale respectively.

In the regional Biffa SWFL, Forfar Farmington clinched the North league with a 6-2 win at Stonehaven. The league title marks a recovery for the club who withdrew from the SWPL in 2021, and will now host Bonnyrigg Rose in the play-offs for a place in the national SWF League One.

The Midlothian side secured second place in SWFL East with a 3-0 victory over McDermid Ladies, and enter the play-offs because title winners Livingston Reserves can’t qualify for promotion as a development side of a club already in the national leagues.

The other play-off will see South league winners Queen of the South host West champions Harmony Row on the 4th June, with the losers of both games facing each other at a neutral venue on the following Sunday for the third and final place in the national leagues.
