KEITH SCORES FOR KEITH
Keith scores for Keith.
Over the weekend Keith FC, The Maroons, were playing in a Highland Football League match and beat Fort William 11-0, with their star striker (surname Keith) notching 5.
Fort William have also suffered a League game 12-1 loss against Turriff United, Keith on the other hand have drawn 4-4 with Lossiemouth, lost to Fraserburgh 3-1, beaten Huntly 0-2 and Nairn 1-2.
Nice names....well what about Inverurie Loco Works FC, Clachnacuddin FC, Brora Rangers, who all play in the Breedon Highland Football League, a league founded in 1893.
Keith play at Kynoch Park in Banffshire, given to the club by local dignitary, Sir John Kynoch in 1922. Another famous "old boy" is Colin Hendry of Scottish international fame.
Their first pitch was at Seafield Park, playing in the Huntly and District League. If you are really fascinated by all this twaddle, have a look at a eastern Scotland map and educate yourself to where these teams are located.
Celtic is a more well known club but they had not travelled as far north as Keith at all in their history until they met the Maroons in the Scottish Cup 2nd Round in 1928. Celtic won 6-1.
