Threave Rovers F.C.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Threave Rovers Football Club. is a football club from Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. They played for many years in the South of Scotland Football League before moving to the East of Scotland Football League in 1998-1999 (whilst simultaneously running a reserve team in the South of Scotland League too). They performed well in the more difficult East of Scotland League, finishing third in the 2003-2004 season, before qutting that league and deciding to concentrate their full efforts on the South of Scotland League. They cited the financial burden of travelling Eastwards constantly as the reason for this decision. Despite it being generally held that the South League is the poorer of the two competitions they finished fourth in their first season back in the South despite having finished third the season before in the East.
