For Xmas, Throwback Thursday looks back to the Ellon Gala football tournament of 2009.
We see a member of the Ellon Thistle family acting as referee and appearing to be about to have a word with a current squad member.
You can spot another ex-player in the background too...

Apologies folks, Ellon Thistle have no game this weekend - so that is the end of our football for 2025.
Great Western's pitch is unavailable and they weren't keen on switching the tie to the Meadows.
We tried our best, so please don't blame us if you get dragged out Xmas shopping!

A terrific performance from Ellon Thistle today: falling two behind early doors, getting back level at the break, then scoring a cracking winner in the second half.
Tremendous effort all round, the lads left everything on the pitch today against experienced, tough opponents.

Unfortunately Sunday's scheduled cup game between Ellon Thistle and Alford has fallen foul of the weather.
With the pitch at Rothie being under a blanket of snow, and the temperature around -4, the Ian Napier Memorial Shield Final has been postponed (probably until spring).
