*This is an update to the previous news item.* There's a twist to the league structure for 2016/17. Read on for more details

The Caledonia League Division 2 will have a new format for the coming season.

The league has been expanded to 12 teams and will initially be split on a West/East basis.

Teams will play 10 fixtures initially (5 home and 5 away) and then the top 3 from West and East will play each other for the promotion places, and the bottom 3 from each will play each other for the relegation places.

If we have played a team in the opening round of fixtures we will not play them again. So the second phase of the league will see us play a further 6 fixtures (3 home, 3 away), giving us 16 league matches in total.

Teams confirmed for the West Section:
Highland 2nd XV
Lochaber
Moray
RAF Lossiemouth
Ross Sutherland
Stornoway

And the East Section:
Aberdeen Grammar 2nd XV
Aberdeen Wanderers
Banff
Ellon
Garioch
Shetland
