As we were going to press a late bit of news came in - good news at that.

It would seem that we are not about to lose our football club to the bulldozers. At a council meeting on Monday 21st June, to decide the fate of the Clachnacuddin stadium, the Common Good Fund Committee voted in principal to back the club for funding in order that the Merkinch club, which has been at the same ground for over a hundred years, to stay put. Well done.
