2nd Thurso Scout Group football
team that won the Courier Cup in 1968
| From Alan Macpherson 21 May 2002 |
| As a possible
extension to your school pictures attached is a copy of the 2nd Thurso
Scout Group football team that won the Courier Cup in 1968 - the first
year the cup was contested. We beat Castletown and Lybster on our
way to the cup final which was against Thurso Boys Brigade and played at
Viewfirth in November 1968. The Photograph was taken in the Scout Hall in
Davidsons Lane Thurso on 06 December 1968. The game resulted in a 3 - 2
victory for us. The goal scorers that day were Harvey Cowe, Gordon
Topping (a spectacular header) and I was lucky enough to score the winning
goal a few minutes before the end of the game. I do not remember the names
of the scorers for Thurso BB
