Scottish National League

The reincarnation of the Scottish National League gave the club the opportunity to cross swords with players from across the nation. Due to circumstances, the intention to enter Division one was thwarted and two of our regular members, Iain McHarg and Billy Patterson signed up to play in Division 2.
The standard was high throughout the season. Although Aberdeen fielded a different team every weekend. Unfortunately, we came up against their strongest outfit and suffered the only 6-0 defeat we had.
2 wins, a draw and 3 defeats left us in 5th place out of 8. Above Stirlingshire 1, Murrayfield 2 and Triangle. (Another team that fielded their strongest team of the season against us).
The competion was excellent experience for our players who have all advanced in standard as a result. Many thanks to George Johnson, who we signed as reserve at the start of the season and who filled in for Billy in the final match. Next seaon's form have already arrived. It should be just as interesting, especially as the juniors of Sterlingshire 2, Blair Fowler, Christopher Wheeler and Co. are promoted from Div 3 having dropped just 5 points the whole of last season.
