Snow Stoppage

We were very surprised that our Soccer World Superleague match Formartine United v Culter due to be played at North Lodge Park Pitmedden on Saturday 8 April 2006 was postponed due to their snow covered pitch.

Next Week's Fixture - Saturday 15 April 2006 - Soccer World Superleague

Sunnybank v Culter (at Heathryfold Park, Aberdeen) Kick Off 2.30 pm. Referee: M Northcroft.

Cup Competition.  The draw for the Semi Finals of the Acorn Heating Cup resulted as follows:­Culter v Longside or Formartine United (at Crombie Park, Culter)

Turriff United or Fraserburgh United v Banks o' Dee or Parkvale.

Val's Valverde Victory.  In Frank Watt's Grand National Draw in The Culter Mills Social Club after our postponed match at the time of our Weekly Lottery the £20 Winner was Val Jamieson, Aberdeen - Val had also backed Valverde at the Bookies.

Margaret Davidson's lucky spell continued when she won her 3r^d prize by also choosing the winning horse and the 3^rd one at the Bookies. In the interim, after Margaret's £10K win, she gained her 2nd fine boost at her staff night out by winning a flight to Amsterdam.

30 Years Ago.  Culter's most successful Amateur side are pictured below. Culter were the top amateur team in the 1970s - winning 25 honours during the decade and just missing out on the "grand slam" in 1975/76, winning six out of seven trophies contested.   Culter's haul of trophies were the 1 1^st Division Championship, the North of Scotland Cup, the Aberdeen FC Trophy, the Dickie Trophy, the Hans Fyfe Trophy and the Chattan Rovers Cup. Culter reached the Final of the Ewen Trophy and this, the very last game of our 1975/76 season, was lost 2 - 1 to Kemnay with the match-winning goal coming from a penalty.
