8th MENS SPORTSMANS DINNER

Apologies for the delay in getting some feedback on here, work dictates! Another great night was enjoyed as Janey Godley, Sheriff Lindsay Wood and Tam Cowan entertained a merry but very well behaved crowd. An emotional presentation was made to Honorary President Jock Skinner to mark his 24 years to the club by Paul Whyte (Captain) and Bryce Whyte (Vice President) with a silver salver.

On a very sad note Jim Hodson (Huddy) who attended the Dinner died suddenly with a suspected Heart Attack on Tues Feb 1st. A great player in his day (scoring 28 goals from midifeld for ASC in one season) for most he will be remembered for being on Arbroath Vics Committee and as Manager of Arbroath Vics and a spell at Brechin Vics in the same role. The thoughts of all at Roselea are with his family in what must be a hard time for them.

MARATHON MAN

Ex Roselea legend Dean Milne ran the Inverness Marathon in October and raised money for Rhys Allan. He wanted to pass on special thanks to those who Sponsored him at the Ryder Cup (£200). He said the years of conditioning training under Mike Simpson and Eddie Findlay helped him throught he pain barrier.

9 MAN LEA JUST FAIL TO HANG ON

A headed goal from Craig Watson against his former side gave Arbroath Vics a share of the spoils in a heated derby match. Stewart Fletcher gave Roselea the lead on 32 minutes and Vics then has Sturrock sent off for a 2nd booking. Craig Anderson followed in a similar fashion after receiving a second yellow for a very soft foul. James Collier also saw red on 75 again for a second booking for a foul again in confusing circumstances. Roselea could have had a third red card after Whyte lost patience with the referee after a foul was not given and should have been sent off. With Violet winning 2-0 v Kirrie Thistle this means Roselea lose ground on the leaders.
