Thurso FC Season 1998/99
Note - While doing research
in the Thurso Library, some John O'Groat
Journal papers were missing so there is one league match score which was an
away game against Halkirk United from, possibly either
the month of February and March 1999. I would be grateful if anyone has the
score that is missing and email it to me. Thanks.

Thurso F.C's
record in North Caledonian League Championship - 1998/99
Played - 20 Won - 10 Drew - 4 Lost - 6 Points - 24 Position - 4th
11 sides played in the league which meant one team was idle each week with an
odd number of teams in the championship which was eventually won by Balintore.
