Football Teams
This is a picture of Alness Bridgend Primary school football team on the left and Tarradale on the right in the light coloured strip (early seventies). I would guess the year was 1973 or 1974, but someone on the website maybe more exact.
These Bridgend boys were the last to go on to Invergordon Academy as the next year were the first year to go to the New Alness Academy (the huts).
Four of us in the Bridgend team were from the year below and still got a game and went on to Alness Academy. Tommy Regan was the captain and we won the cup 2 goals to 1. The game was played at Muir of Ord.

I recognise 3rd from the left at the back with the blonde hair: Stevie Ramsay?

On the right of the tall lad at the back is Tom Lamont; kneeling at the end of the front row with tracksuit top on is Dougie McIntosh; third from left front row is Gregor McIntosh and fifth from the left Liam Manson and young Lynas at the end of the back row left if I'm not mistaken.

Well done Graham, spot on, notice I had the old strip (vee neck) as there were not enough shirts to go around and I was the reserve.
Can't remember all the names, Liz, the blondie was Stevie Ramsey, Alby Lowshaw, Tom Lamont, Brian Hill (American), Cookie the keeper, Tommy Regan, bottom row next to Dougie, ?????Webster, next to Liam was Gregor's brother Graig.
Graham, a neighbour here at Nigg speaks well of you - John Macgillivry (Kenny Dalglish look a like) - said he and a couple of other lads went down to a Hearts game with you.
