FPs meet Fraserburgh for the 2nd week running this time away from home. With a cup final on Sunday, FPs make numerous changes and are delighted to be able to welcome back John Davey, last seen in 2017 and FPs sporting legend James Williams making his first outing since 2018 following a strong season of hockey scoring. Geoff Morrison returns as captain for one game only, having passed on the baton in 2016.

Just a quick plug for a new novel by former player John Eagles. Following his hugely successful 1st novel ‘Starting to Shrink’, John is back with the ever more tricky to write 2nd novel ‘Shrinking to fit’. Many of you will remember John as an excellent batsmen, key closer catcher and most importantly master spinner who used to use all his nous not just to get into the head of the batsman but also the umpire . Having seen off all batsmen, John decided to turn his hand to writing and has successfully managed to get into the readers head with 2 superbly crafted novels. These are of course available on Amazon and all other good bookshops. Give it a read – you are sure to enjoy them.

Dr Douglas Barker is a stressed young psychiatrist who is starting his first consultant post in the late 1980s. He works in a university department where he is harassed by duplicitous professors and encounters some of the murky depths of academic medicine. Accepting drug company perks, he is embroiled in the corrupt practices of the pharmaceutical industry. Becoming progressively concerned about adverse effects of a new medication he is promoting, he battles with his conscience. Will he continue to play by the rules of big pharma, or should he speak out?

On the back of 2 losses, FPs will hope to bounce back against 2nd placed Fraserburgh. Mike Nattrass returns for FPs along with Paul Norwood, while Ben Garwood makes his debut. Pete Macklin, Leston D’Costa and Sean Harrower drop out.
