Move over Hearts and Hibs, its Macmerry for the cup.
Formed in 1872, the Macmerry football team of "Macmerry St Clair" was a regular in the junior football league for many a year winning some twelve cups and trophies between 1912 and 1918.
From the look of some of the lads in the photo they could take on some of today's big boys and give them a good run for their money.
Sadly the team is no longer in existence but with long memories and loads of enthusiasm in the village that might well change. So look out all you premier league teams Macmerry might be challenging you in the future!
