Random Fact – United were forced to change their badge in 2010 after a “member of the public” complained it was illegal under heraldic law due to some details. The Court of Lord Lyon agreed and prosecution loomed. A new crest which had to be without a lion rampant(they added wings to allow it to stay), saltire and have the red and white vertical stripes widened was designed.They were allowed to keep the shield and French “Sans Peur”. All remnants of the old crest had to be removed hitting the club significantly in the pocket.

Our “table”
The only HFL team left doing a programme for every game
Julien Wade in amongst it for the home side
Lovely day for it
Dons loanee Dylan Lobban

Half time sidey
A Threave corner
Danny Dunglinson scores from the spot to half Formartine’s lead
New floodlights this season I noticed
Heads down after another wasted United chance
Formartine attack
Formartine try their luck again infront of one of many dogs
Ex Rothie Rovers goal machine Jake Stewart came on a sub
And the man scored a very good winner
The sun shone all day on North Lodge
