1972-73 Review

Newburgh stormed their way through the Scottish, before being put to the cosh by the all conquering Cambuslang team of that era. The same side ended their involvement in the National Drybrough at the first round stage.

No Fife team reached the Semis of the Fife and Lothians, with the last three representatives , Clackmannan, L'gelly and Leven being put out in the fourth round, L'gelly to the final victors, Linlithgow.

In the league, the East-West division was re-introduced, with Newburgh and L'gelly winning their respective divisions, and Newburgh the play-off game.

The cup competitions were shared around, with the Glens bagging a brace in the Cowdenbeath and Fife trophies, Thornton the league cup and Oakley and Newburgh respectively the West and East Fife Cups.

Leven moved to Methilhill to groundshare with Strollers at Herd Park. Kirkcaldy YMCA abandons Smeaton Park to ground share at the Coaltown of Wemyss with the other "Kirkcaldy" team, Frances Colliery.

Valleyfield Colliery resigned at the end of the season - to stay out for a year supposedly. Jubilee also moved from North End Park during the season to groundshare over the road with Cowdenbeath.
