For almost certainly the first time in its existence the Turriff Cup Final was completed before the end of August, as Mannofield beat Kintore at the Duthie Park to retain the trophy they previously won in the deferred 2007 final played at the start of this season.

R van Oorschot was adjudged the Man of the Match for wrapping up the tail of the Kintore innings by the umpires who, as throughout the past season, were funded by the proprietor of the Tillydrone Kebab House.

Elsewhere, 2nd Banchory beat Turriff to take the runners-up slot and go up with 2nd Kintore who take the Grade 3 champions title, while at the foot 2nd Grammar FPs beat Stoneywood-Dyce in a game, which nevertheless looks to have condemned both sides to Grade 4 next year.

Mannofield became first-time winners of the Turriff Cup Twenty20 as they beat Ellon in a closely-contested final of the deferred 2007 competition in the har at the Links on Sunday, with G. Jones taking the man of the match award for his critical late innings for the victors.
