40 Years Ago. Our Amateur League Division 11 match due to be played on Saturday 29
November 1969, Culter v College of Education at Crombie Park, was postponed. At our Committee

presented with an engraved tankard in recognition of his services as President from 1960 — 1969.

20 Years Ago In the 2nd Round of the Scottish Junior Cup Culter drew 2 —2 with Buchanhaven Hearts at Raemoss Park, Peterhead, on Saturday 25 November 1989. Our line up was:R Seivwnight; M Craigmile, C Ferries; S Rose, E Shearer, C Marnoch; M Kennedy, L Mason, B Burnett, K Kennedy, A Johnstone; Substitutes: W Cuthill and P Thomson.
Our scorers were Les Mason and Bryan Burnett. “Shiner”s remarkable 85th minute goal seemed to have won the tie — Bryan fell and whilst lying on the ground he hit the ball into the net off the post. Next minute he went down injured after being kicked on the ear and was taken to Hospital after the match to have stitches inserted in his ear wound. The game ran 3 minutes into resultant injury time and Culter were shocked when Buchanhaven equalised in the dying seconds. Culter won the replay the following week at Crombie Park 2 — 0 through Bryan Burnett and Miilar Kennedy goals. Our 4 Celebrity Dinner was held on Monday 13th November 1989 with the excellent turnout of 350 gentlemen. Mr Abie was a capable Compere, Craigie Veitch was a brilliant after dinner Speaker whilst Guest Speaker Lawrie McMenemy gave a long informative talk on football.
