The team that was started by a Pitmedden millwright, (Eddie Edmond) in 1947 is now playing in the Highland League next season.
Formartine United JFC along with Turriff United and Strathspey Thistle gained enough votes to join the league in a ceremony last night at Lossiemouth FC's social club. Atholl Cadger, the current manager of Formartine, was delighted by the support received and the prospect of playing on an altogether different scale.
For the full story see the Press & Journal article.
During the oral history project we interviewed three former players, Sidney Rose, Jack Larnach and Ally Shewan. If you want to listen to them, contact Turriff, Ellon or Meldrum Libraries to hear them in the library, or if you have a family connection or are a researcher, contact Gavin Sutherland at the North East Folklore Archive for a copy.
