Crownpoint United Last season: 2nd in division 2a
Last season, Crownpoint United came second in the division 2a of the Sunday Central League. They were clinical in that league only losing one game.

They also scored 74 goals in 14 games, averaging over 5 goals per game, a brilliant effort from the club. Drumchapel United
They have changed their name too Drumchapel United from Hillvire and will be excited to get going this season. They have a brilliant chance this season and will be playing in the top division of Sunday football around the area. A fresh start for Drumchapel United, they'll be excited. Eastend Tower

Last season, Overlee Partizans were clinical, but Northend pushed them all of the way. They were brilliant in not letting up and making Overlee Partizans know that it would of been one slip up, and potentially a different outcome. They lost the same amount of games as the champions, only 2! But the difference being, Northend drew 2 more, this season they will be hoping to have that gained edge and to get over the finish line in the Premier League One. Northend were the best side defensively, they only conceded 18 goals in 18 games, an extremely impressive stastics that they will be proud of, and rightly so. During the group stage, Northend were clinical as they won both of their games scoring 18 goals in total from both games and conceding just one. Overlee Partizans Last season: Champions of the Premier League
Last years champions Overlee Partizans are ready to go again. Last season they were brilliant as they won 15 out of their 18 league games. The stats get more impressive, when you see that Overlee Partizans scored 85 goals from their 18 games, that works out as an average of over 4.5 goals per game, and conceded just 25, a goal different of 60. This is impressive, a real show of how dangerous they are. As we have now come to an end when it comes to the group stages, it is clear to see that Overlee Partizans mean business. They have played 2 games this season and have scored 24 goals. That averages out to be 12 goals per game. Polonia Glasgow Last season: 8th in division 2 Polonia Glasgow will be ready to get into action in the Premier League One. Last season they came 8th in the league below, but when it comes to the 2017-2018 season, last year does not make a difference, they will be happy with the side they have constructed and the pre season that they have had, and will be ready to get into action in Premier League One.

Brunswick will look to continue along their clinical scoring mission throughout this season. Budhill United Last season: 4th in division 2b
A nice summary to last season for Budhill United. They played 8, won 8 and lost 8! Suggesting exciting football, as their was no bore draws, just wins or losses, an all or nothing attitude, and very exciting performances.
