182 the committee since 1969, was a major character in the Union. Much in demand as an after-dinner speaker, Dave had an endless fund of stories with which he would regale any cricketer whom he met in the street. The bulwark of Kirriemuir for forty years, he scored that club’s first ever century, led them to two Second Division titles and three Two Counties Cup wins, won the Second Division Bowling Average prize twice and the Fastest Hundred once. Given his sense of humour and timing of a witty remark, it’s hardly surprising that he found his niche as Editor of The Dandy and was a star of Grampian TV’s Bothy Nichts. For many years, it was Dave’s bunnet which was central to the Union’s Cup Draws and this was but the least of his contributions to the smooth running of the Union for forty five years. 2015 saw Forthill as champions, beating the born-again Gordonians into second place, although Gordonians lifted the Three Counties Cup as well Forthill 2nd XI - Winners of the Two Counties Cup 2015 Back:- Clark McConnachie, Steven Sim, Gordon Walker, Glenn Carnegie, David Sim, James Sim Front:- Fraser Ross, Blair Walker, Callum Garden, Cameron Walker, Jake Harrison
