LUTHERMUIR FC are reflecting on a satisfactory season in Division One North of the Aberdeenshire Amateur League. With a very young side, Luther finished eighth, comfortably clear of the drop zone and with a couple of breaks at the right time, would have finished even higher.
Top home result for Luthermuir was a 3-1 win over promoted Tarves and there were also wins over Ellon Thistle, Stonehaven Athletic, Uni Colts and Theologians.
Away from home, Luthermuir can be proudest of a 2-1 win over third-placed Hazlehead, while Torry United were thumped 5-0.

In the North of Scotland Cup, a win over Don Athletic was followed by a 4-3 defeat to Rothie Rovers.
In the AFC Trophy, Premier side Kincorth beat them 2-0 and in the Association Cup, Division One East champions Woodside squeezed past Luthermuir in a penalty shoot-out.
In the Stephen Shield, eventually winners Tarves won 3-1 at Luthermuir in the last eight.
