14 Oct 2007 - Bit more about Aberdeen Lads Club
I have done a wee bit of homework and Aberdeen Lads Club play out of Jamieson Park in Mugiemoss in Aberdeen - North end of the city for those who know the area.
They were formed essentially to try and keep youngsters out of trouble from one of the more run down areas of the Granite City.
They play in Maroon shirts....and are sitting OK in their league at present - 4th out of 14 clubs.
Last season they got to the semi finals no less of the inter regional North and Tayside cup competition - in fact they were the only North club to get that far beating some decent opposition on the way. This year they haven't made it as they were beaten by Sunnybank - the team that have just put the Buffs out of the Scottish
Looking at their results then it is fair to say that they are a decent side in their local set up - but they'll probably be hard to beat - indeed yesterday they won 7 - 2 at Fraserburgh.
Their performance in the Scottish Cup over the last 15 years is better than ours (OK that's not saying much but....)
