I now remember why I can't be ersed watching pre-season games. This was tripe in dry windy conditions and it got windier as the game bored on. Nothing to see here other than Mark Ridgers in goal for Clach. 4-0 at Forres for the hosts against a young Inverness CT XI

Sad to hear this news. Dave was some character in his day. Loved his fake scratchcard which showed he won £50k. Got him a few new friends and beers in the Innes that day. One Saturday we were heading to Dundee in my car. As we were cutting it fine I was tramping on a bit cross country to Dundee over the top. Dave related the good old days when he had a motorbike and used to get up to 130mph out of it. However, after getting to Dundee he was reluctant to come back with us telling the guys that he was not happy with my driving. Pot kettle sprung to mind RIP Dave and condolences to Kay and other family and friends, you will be missed.

June 2025 You can follow our games using FIXTURE LIST under Current Season Tab at top of page. Brief reports provided and team lines/scorers etc as we get the info. These are our current fixtures up until the League1 opener away to Kelty Hearts on 2nd August. It may show not 11 players but the Academy players/trialists are added to the report and substitutions may not be recorded on the system but that is due to the limitations of our current system short of actually adding all Academy players/trialists to our squad which is impractical.
