Grades Preview 14/15 June 2008
Having been ejected from the small Clubs Cup at the first hurdle, and lost two recent league games, Cults will be anxious to show a recovery of their traditional form when they travel to Kintore on Saturday. Meantime their seconds will be just over the hill, attempting to extend their lead over Inverurie following the Kellands Park side’s first win of the season last week against Caledonian.
They meantime face the stiff task of playing new leaders Bon Accord at the Duthie Park, while Stonehaven – leaders of the pack until last weekend – will hope that last Saturday’s result proves just a blip, as they travel to Banchory.

Grades preview 7/8 June 2008
The last fortnight’s results mean that the middle third of the Thistle Sports Grades season will be more than usually critical this year.
While Bon Accord should carry too much firepower for Mannofield in the match between the two Links-based sides, Cults will be anxious not to lose any more ground, following two successive defeats, when they take on current league leaders Stonehaven at the Allan Park; while Caledonian will be looking for points at the foot of the table to move ahead of Inverurie and 2nd Cults in the battle to avoid struggling against relegation.
In Grade 2 leaders St Ronald will hope to continue their unblemished league run at home to Scottish Regional Villages Cup winners Methlick; while Gordonians could consolidate their challenge for promotion if they beat Artisans, and Grammar FPs slip up against an improving Queens Cross side.

The First in Grades History
This Saturday sees a new first in the history of the Thistle Sports Grades as two teams from the same club clash in league competition.
The match concerned takes place at the Allan Park where 2nd Cults are formally at home to their first eleven and current title holders. Based on results to date, and the fact that 6 of the first eleven players may play for only the first team, an away win is predicted.
Elsewhere at the top of Grade 1 Bon Accord are at home to Banchory; while their co-tenants at the Links, Mannofield, travel to Kintore. Ellon will fancy their chances at home to Inverurie, while Stonehaven have a home tie against Caledonian.

2008 Grades get under way
Weather permitting, the Grades cricket season for 2008 opens on Saturday, with a full programme of games in all four leagues following the major reconstruction of the fixture list necessitated by a broken drain on Links 5.
Once again the Grade 1 title is expected to be contested between Cults, Bon Accord and Kintore; with Ellon and Stonehaven also having an outside chance. A new first in the top Grade however will be the presence of two teams from the same club, as 2nd Cults join their first eleven in the top
