SNP CANDIDATE SEES BUCKIE THISTLE TRIUMPH AT THE HAUGHS
SNP Westminster candidate for Banff & Buchan Eilidh Whiteford has congratulated Buckie Thistle after they triumphed in the Aberdeenshire Cup final over rivals Cove Rangers at The Haughs in Turriff on Saturday.
The SNP candidate was accompanying Banff & Buchan MP Alex Salmond who officially opened Turriff United FC's new stand and presented the Man of the Match Award to Buckie Thistle striker Steve Bruce.
Commenting after the game, Eilidh Whiteford said:
"It was a very good game and I thoroughly enjoyed it but as a Banffshire quine I must confess to being delighted for Buckie Thistle and send my congratulations to the team and management.
"To beat the current Highland League leaders in the final of the Aberdeenshire Cup is a tremendous achievement, which bodes well for the rest of the season. It will be a real boost for Banffshire in general and Buckie in particular.
"I was also very impressed with the new stand that Turriff United have built which is an excellent facility and a real asset to the town."
