KDM Evolution Trophy

A reminder to ‘Loons’ supporters that we commence our group stage fixtures in the revamped Challenge Cup competition on Tuesday evening of next week when Hibernian ‘B’ will be the visitors to the Alpha Projects Stadium @ Station Park.

Renamed under the new banner of the KDM Evolution Trophy this season, the company concerned having signed a very lucrative and supportive sponsorship deal with the SPFL, all twenty League1 and League2 clubs enter at this stage of the competition along with ten Premiership ‘B’ teams. The ‘B’ teams as per a pre-tournament agreement will play all their fixtures in the group stage away from home.

All teams will play six qualifying fixtures over a period of just over twelve weeks, the top 22 teams at the end of those half dozen fixtures going through to the next stage of the tournament when the ten Championship clubs will enter the fray.
