The final league programme of the 2010 Grades season sees Inverurie needing to beat Kintore and hoping that Grammar FPs are resoundingly beaten by Banchory if the Kellands Park side are to avoid dropping down to Grade 2 just a season after finishing only marginally off second spot in 2009.  If the Rubislaw side survive meanwhile it will break the pattern of recent years, whereby the sides coming up from Grade 2 have been immediately relegated the following year.

One of these was 2nd Cults, but their now-merged team with Artisans looks to have again secured one of the promotion spots along with St Ronald, who look on course for a double championship in Grades both 2 and 3.  Crathie meanwhile need to win their final game against Crescent to avoid going down with the Duthie Park side, and condemn 2nd Banchory, who face St Ronald, to the second relegation spot.
