Letham Amateurs (sponsored by The Welcome Inn, Rannoch Road) Whilst playing the better football in the first half the Tangerines found themselves a goal down at the break. In the second half they fought back and equalised and there were high hopes of going on to win the match. However the visitors had other ideas and exposed Letham’s defensive frailties and scored a further three goals. Tomorrow city rivals Roselea are the visitors in quarter final tie for the Perthshire Cup.

Letham Lads (sponsored by Moncrieffe, Princes Street) Despite having a man sent off in the second half the Lads whilst not at their best still managed to win and secure three points as they chase the league leaders. Tomorrow they face Kettins on the South Inch. Meet pavilion at 12 .45 p.m.

Letham Lads (sponsored by Moncrieffe, Princes Street) A very creditable performance against first division high flyers Breadalbane last week despite going behind early. The Lads fought back to deservedly equalise. Alas a missed penalty kick and two defensive lapses meant that the Aberfeldy team progressed into the next round. It is back to league business tomorrow with an away game against Taybank. Sandy will advise arrangements.

Letham U17’s (sponsored by TI Protective Coatings, Horwich, Bolton) Despite losing the opening goal in the visitors first attack the Tangerines fought back well and defeated Fairmuir by three goals to one. This was a far better performance against one of the leading teams in the Dundee league after the previous week’s debacle. On Sunday they travel to play Forfar for a league match. Assistance with transport would be appreciated.

Letham U16’s (sponsored by A.De Cecco, Ceramic Tile Cont.) The Tangerines were all ways in control against a strong Fairmuir side at Seven Acres last Sunday and ran out winners by five goals to two in a cup match. This Sunday in the cup they have an away game against Broughty. Meet clubhouse at 11.00a.m. Max would appreciate help with transportation.


Letham U15’s (sponsored by Scottish Hydro Electric) The management had high hopes following the previous week’s performance but any hopes were dashed by a Dunbarney side that won handsomely. On Sunday they face Tulloch Thistle in a league game scheduled to kick off at 12.30 p.m. probably at Western Edge

Letham U13’s tangerine (sponsored by Scott McRae, Joiners & Contractors) The much awaited encounter between the club’s two sides vying to win the league championship resulted in a win for the Tangies against league leaders Sky Blues. The game itself was a tight and tense affair played on a hard frosty pitch with the visitors just having the edge due to their forward fire power and winning by three goals to one. On Sunday they face the club’s other team at this level viz: - the Whites in a quarter final tie of the League Cup. Game kicks off at 10.00a.m. on the South Inch

Letham U13’s white (sponsored by David Miller, Electrical Contractor) The team’s form this season has not been consistent and this was evident against Scone Thistle last Sunday. This week they have a quarter final League cup match on the South Inch against the confident Tangies Stewart will advise arrangements. Training tonight at Perth High School. Assemble at 5.55p.m.

Letham U13’s sky blue (sponsored by K & S Building Services) On a pitch just playable due to frost the team lost the league leadership to their club mates falling by three goals to one. The differences between the sides were minimal but the Tangies had that little bit extra in midfield and up front. On Sunday the team travel to Aberfeldy to contest a quarter final tie for the Bill Pennycook League Cup. Dave Murphy will advise arrangements.

Letham Community Sports Club Notes for Friday 12th February 2010 - Friday 12 February 2010

Letham Amateurs (sponsored by The Welcome Inn, Rannoch Road) Against Vale of Earn last week the Tangerines were cruising at two nil up early in the second half. Alas they left the back door open and the visitors scored four goals on the trot. A fight back ensued but they could only pull one goal back and allowed the visitors to pull off a shock result. Tomorrow at Seven Acres the defence will have to tighten up against old rivals St. John’s to have any chance of progressing into the next round of the Ashleigh Cup, Meet clubhouse at 12.15 p.m.

Letham Lads (sponsored by Moncrieffe, Princes Street) At Meigle last week the Lads after a long lay off were in fine form and brushed aside the local Vics to maintain their challenge for promotion.

Letham U13’s tangerine (sponsored by Scott McRae, Joiners & Contractors) Jeanfield were stuffy opponents in the first half last week but once the Tangerines started playing their flowing football their resistance disappeared and the home team hit them for seven goals to two.

This game has been switched to Almondbank with a 10.30 a.m. kick off

50 years celebration In 2010 the club celebrates 50 years in existence starting as Letham Juveniles. Following a series of trials on the South Inch the following players were selected. Andy Steele, goalkeeper, Sid Lee and Sandy Crockart were full backs. Half back line was Ken Drummond, Bill Hebner (Capt.) and Trevor Pritchard, forwards were Jimmy Cameron, Jim Gardiner, Bob Muckersie, Hamish McPherson, Tommy McGregor, David Taylor, Dave Galloway. They played a few friendlies and the first was against Allanvale from Blackford. Whilst defeated there were early signs that this was the makings of a good team. The club know the whereabouts of most players but would be delighted to hear from anyone who can advise where we can contact Messrs Pritchard, Galloway, Cameron and Crockart. Another interesting fact is that all four founding members of the club viz Lee, Drummond, Hebner and Pritchard played at that time. The manager was Tommy Petterson.

WISHART PRAISES LETHAM COMMUNITY SPORTS CLUB

Pete Wishart recently visited Letham Community Sports Club. Mr Wishart praised the work being done by this excellent community organisation by saying:

"Local sports clubs provide so much benefit to a community. Aside from the obvious fun aspect of being involved in sport, organisations like this help to promote healthy living, foster team spirit and encourage community involvement.

"Letham Community Sports Club is a wonderful example of the sort of grassroots organisation that gives a community its heart. I congratulate them on everything they have achieved, wish them all the very best for the future and give thanks for the time and effort given so selflessly by all those who keep the Club running. "

Local Councillor, Elspeth Maclachlan, added:

"Letham Community Sports Club is fast approaching its 50th birthday and is showing no signs of slowing down. Indeed, its innovative approach to the sporting needs of the local children is an inspiration to us all. As a local councillor I am proud to have this club in my ward."

Letham Community Sports Club Notes for Friday 5th June 2009 - Friday 05 June 2009

Letham Amateurs (sponsored by The Welcome Inn, Rannoch Road) It doesn’t get any less tense when your opponents for the last game of the season are the current North of Tay Cup winners and in the knowledge that The Tangerines required a single point to clinch the League Championship. Before another big home crowd nerves were settled early on when Max Smith scored within five minutes of the start. Whilst on top there was all ways a nervousness that the visitors would score. Seven Acres erupted when Davie Cargill scored the second goal just before the break. The second half belonged to the home team and it was no surprise that Paul Hunter scored with an overhead kick. The win ensured that Letham were again League Champions for the second time in three seasons.

Letham U11 tangerine (sponsored by Turriff Contractors.) Home game against Kinnoull on Sunday. Colin will advise arrangements.

Letham U10 tangerines (sponsored by John Gillespie, Hairdresser, St John Street) The Tangies were too good for the visiting Breadalbane team last weekend. Home to Luncarty under 9 team on Sunday. Steve will advise times etc.

Letham Community Sports Club Notes for Friday 29th May 2009 - Friday 29 May 2009

Letham Amateurs (sponsored by The Welcome Inn, Rannoch Road) An inspired goalkeeping display by John McDonald paved the way for the Tangerines to retain the Perthshire Cup by defeating St Johns 5-2 at Riverside Park last week in front of a huge support. Alas on Saturday Ballinluig blew away any hope of winning the prestige Ashleigh Cup. Tomorrow for the final league game of the season the team requires one point against Vale of Earn to pip Bridge of Earn for the League title. This is no mean task as the visitors to Seven Acres are a fine side. Request that all home supporters come along to encourage the team. Game starts at 2.30 p.m.

Letham U19’s (sponsored by J Queen & Son, Plumbers & Htg Eng.) After a long and successful year in the Dundee League the team completed the season with a three all home draw against Brechin. The game also marked the end of a long association with Letham for the legendary Russell Turnbull. Russell joined Letham in Tommy Campbell’s era back in early 1970’s and has played a very prominent role in the club’s successes over the following years.

Letham U16’s (sponsored by TI Protective Coatings, Horwich, Bolton) Last Sunday the Tangerines completed their league programme with a three all draw at home to League Champions Abernethy under 17’s

Response to Lynda Burns letter to PA Tues 19th, May - Friday 22 May 2009

In response to Lynda Burns, concerned parent it is a pity she didn’t record the fact that she was in attendance at a meeting specifically called to address her concerns. She was issued with a copy of the club’s accounts and given a full explanation. Also last Friday she received a text message advising her that the further figures she requested were available from the team manager and duly received a copy.
The club is run entirely by volunteers with a Management Committee primarily made up by professional men and women. All accounts are audited and available on request by any member. The figures she quotes are accurate but fails to state that the club had made a financial loss in two out of the last three seasons. With the knowledge that the current financial climate would have an adverse effect on obtaining commercial sponsorships the Management Committee had to address the situation .The club seeks funding from a variety of sources to meet the average annual cost of £2100 per team. Simple arithmetic tells you that membership fees don’t come anywhere near covering the cost of providing the facilities available to the teams. She also has forgotten to say that the team’s own fund raising events mentioned in the letter are being held by that team and not come into the overall club finances. It is not our club’s business to know what other like for like teams charge but are aware that the two clubs nearest to Letham are £30 and £40 dearer now than our new season fees. Letham has survived for the last 49 years and fully intends to ensure that finances are in order for the very considerable future.

Response to article by Jenny Wood in P.A. Tuesday, 3rd March 2009 - Wednesday 04 March 2009

It is disconcerting to read in the press the failure of the club to seek change of use of the players lounge to café should appear front page before official notification is officially received by the club, but perhaps the P.A.’s informant had another agenda. The reporters visit to the café somehow omitted to state that on offer on the Monday was Home made soup, a pasta bake dish, baked potato, salad rolls, sugar free drinks, smoothies, mineral water. There were no sign of fries, sugar drinks etc
We have on prominent display Healthy Eating charts outlining what is healthy and what is not. It also should be noted that other Council Departments have been so impressed with our initiative that we were encouraged to open up the premises for the benefit of the community so that it would become a community asset. As a community club we welcomed the idea. In turn the longer term view that the facility would be open 7 days a week and not just refined to training night and match days. The end product would not only be a sustainable source of income but also to provide a facility of training the unemployed, providing employment, an environment of promoting better lifestyles in the community through education and most importantly providing a safe and secure retreat for the older and young alike to enjoy a meeting place which does not exist at present. It is a pity that the reporter did not seek the views of the users of the café, parents of players and players regarding the club’s new venture. Sure, neither ourselves, local or national bodies believe we can cure the problems of obesity or unhealthy lifestyles overnight but at least give us the credit for being the first sports club in the region to try and educate the users.



The reporter also omitted to comment on the fact that as part of our education process we not only issue to our players but also have on display in prominent positions the following guidelines and publications.
Sports Nutrition (A Letham Document issued to players)
Healthy Eating charts
Nutrition Advice for Football players
Sports Drinks
With regard to Councillor John Flynn’s comments we first of all acknowledge and confirm his support of the club over the years which now boast 16 active teams and a soccer school for under 8’s. We differ on his opinions of being badly thought out. First of all the club has continually updated the Councillor on the club’s progress and I have attended his last two surgeries held at Letham Primary School including the cafe. He even recommended a local contact in the catering trade. Hardly a stealthy approach. Neither is his description of the premises being a greasy spoon an accurate assessment. Of course we accept that not everyone shares the same objectives and some are happy to continue with existing lifestyles. The encouraging fact is that on a survey the club enjoys massive support for what it is trying to do from the Letham Community and its 350 members. The club for the past 7 years has expressed concerns on road safety adjacent to Seven Acres and welcomes the improvements planned.
Finally an application for a change of use was being submitted on Thursday, 5th, March and the club would adhere to the closure advice pending submission and determination of the retrospective planning application.

Front runners being “The Dugout” and “Hot Shot Lounge” Suggestions to Ian Elrick on 07973431072 or on a postcard to Letham FC, Pavilion, Newhouse Road, Perth PH1 2JB

John Binnie It was with great sadness when we learned of the passing of one of the best former players to adorn the Tangerine jersey. John Binnie joined Letham from Letham Rovers for season 1964/65. He was quiet unassuming and not aware of the talent he possessed as he didn’t think he was good enough to get into the team. Following a meeting with Hibernian in the Salutation Hotel on 18th, February 1965 it was agreed that John and James “Dusty” Moir would both play a trial for the Edinburgh club managed by Jock Stein. This duly took place and the boys were invited to Easter Road on Tuesday 2nd, March. Jock Stein intimated that he wanted to sign the two boys. Seven days later Jock became manager of Celtic. Hibs then appointed Bob Shankly (brother of the more famous Bill) as replacement manager. He duly signed John for Hibs. His Letham team mates at that time were W Duncan, R McClelland,T Clement, Brown, S Crockart, D Crichton, J Moir, J Binnie, M Zeiba, R Muckersie. K Hill,A Campbell in what was a very good and young Letham team that won two cups and were third in the Juvenile league.

Letham Amateurs (sponsored by The Welcome Inn, Rannoch Road) With a cross wind and rain blowing across the pitch the Tangerines found it difficult to play their normal game. Bowhill on the other hand were finding their men better and were soon two goals ahead. Credit to Letham when they pulled one back through Hunter near the end of the first period. After the break it was no surprise when they scored a cracker of a goal by Bullions to equalise. With their tails up the visitors looked more likely to score. Alas they left the back door open with five minutes left and a home team forward ran through unopposed to net the winner. Tomorrow Roselea are the visitors for a second round Ashleigh Cup tie. Meet clubhouse at 12.15

Letham Lads (sponsored by Stagger Inn, Princes Street) The Lads were in top form last Saturday and outplayed their opponents on the day.

Letham Community Sports Club Notes for Friday 26th December 2008 - Friday 26 December 2008

Letham Amateurs (sponsored by The Welcome Inn, Rannoch Road) The game started at a hectic pace with the visitors taking an early lead. The West of Scotland side had no time to celebrate as the Tangerines equalised within minutes through McColl. Play continued to rage end to end with both sides missing chances. After a bout of sustained pressure Letham took the lead in the 75th, minute through Donaldson. Three minutes later they had the opportunity to clinch the tie but failed to find the target from only five yards out. The visitors went all out for the equaliser but the home team’s defence held firm. Away to Bowhill Rovers in the next round on January 10th

Letham Lads (sponsored by Stagger Inn, Princes Street) A sad day for the Lads as they played some great stuff only to lose to two goals in the last five minutes. From the off the Lads took the game to their 1st Division opponents and not giving them time to settle. The better chances were all falling to Letham but they just could not get the final break in front of goal. Just when it looked like it would be all square at the break the Letham defence got themselves in a mix up allowing the visitors to take advantage to fire into a 1-0 lead at half time. The second half saw an unchanged Letham line up determined to get back into the game. Within two minutes the scores were level when a free kick was awarded to Letham just left of centre around 25 yards out. Up stepped Pentland to curl it up and over the wall and into the top corner. The game was very even now and Letham took the lead ten minutes later through Kelly. This seemed to stun the visitors and they immediately put the home team under loads of pressure. The away side had the bit between their teeth and were pouring forward and scored two goals at the end and left the lads bitterly disappointed that they did not manage to overcome their 1st division opponents. Next game is on Saturday, 10th, January with a home tie in the Ashleigh Cup against Comrie Rovers

Letham U19’s (sponsored by J Queen & Son, Plumbers & Htg Eng.) With an under strength team the Tangerines came back from Forfar with a 4-2 victory. With wind advantage in the first half they secured a two goal lead. After the break and facing the elements the defence held firm despite strong pressure from Lochside and to maintain their four game unbeaten run.




Letham U16’s (sponsored by TI Protective Coatings,Horwich, Bolton) The visitors won the toss and selected to shoot downhill with the wind at their backs. The Tangerine’s defence were playing well and were comfortably holding their more fancied opponents. However after 25 minutes played the visitors were awarded a penalty and from which they scored. In the second half with the homesters having wind advantage they took the game to Abernethy and were unlucky when a 30 yard rocket shot cannoned off the woodwork back in to play. A sickening tackle on Rory Duthie which required an ambulance to take him to hospital dampened the enthusiasm of his colleagues and Abernethy scored again near the end. All at the club wish the very popular player a speedy recovery

Letham U15’s (sponsored by A.De Cecco, Ceramic Tile Cont.) The team were back at their best in this League Cup game against Perth Killie winning comfortably by six goals to two. On Sunday the team have a rearranged league game against Perth Killie under 14 team at Seven Acres. Meet clubhouse at 11.30 a.m.

(Here is an extract from the PA 30 years ago which is part of Letham’s rich history. At that time Letham had Jake Findlay in goal who went on to a career with Aston Villa and Luton Town and Roselea had Jim Blyth another outstanding goalie. It was unique that these players should be playing under 16 football at the same time. Who was the better? Well I am biased. Jake was a Blairgowrie lad and now stays in the Birmingham area. Jim Blyth I think is now goalkeeper coach at Celtic. You might like to make a story of this)



Memory lane.
Saturday 11th January 1969
Letham U16 - v Roselea (League Cup - Away)
Roselea and Letham are still neck and neck in their league cup section. The winner of today's tie will probably be the finalist, while a draw in all likelihood means a play off. This is their fourth encounter and with previous results being 5-5. 4-3, 5-4 in Roselea favour, Letham must be hoping that their luck will turn today. The 'Lea are taking the opportunity of blooding yet another of their Mini Minors, Arthur Hughes taking over at left back.
Roselea 2 - Letham 4
Letham became the first team to lower Roselea's colours this season with a well deserved win at Seven Acres. They led 2-1 at the interval and as the 'Lea were now shooting downhill the margin seemed too slender.
However it was THE Tangerines who looked more dangerous in the second half and it was only due to stalwart defensive play by Jimmy Blyth who brought off some tremendous saves from point blank range and by centre-half Ian Gardiner that the score was kept down.
After losing a third goal from a penalty it was 'Lea's turn to be "on the spot", but Jack Findlay brought off the save of the match in stopping the luckless Cowie's penalty kick. The Letham defence found it easy to cope with a forward line which just didn't exist now and it took a long ranger from right-back Mike Cairns to give Roselea a second goal just before full time to put a better complexion on the score after Alan Sievewright had sewn up the match with a beautiful first-time shot from the wing.
Letham U16 v Team from: Findlay, Sinclair, Mason, Black, Whytock, Reid, Sievewright, Falconer, Robertson, Turnbull, Jenkins, McLaren, Brown.
Boys selected to travel to Bayview Park, Methil to play Fifeshire on Saturday 19th April 1969:
Goalkeepers: JBlyth-Roselea,J Findlay-Letham
Backs: L Hutchison-PCBC, G Mason-Letham, G Miller-Stanley/Murthly
Half-backs: R Smeaton, A Mailer, W Falconer-Tayside, R Whytock-Letham
Forwards: R Falconer-Letham, A Heenan-Roselea, D Cochrane-Tayside, D Cameron-S/M, R Jenkins-Letham, B Sampson-Tayside.
East Fife 11 - Perth 1

Letham Community Sports Club Notes Friday 19th December 2008 - Friday 19 December 2008

Letham Amateurs (sponsored by The Welcome Inn, Rannoch Road) Whilst a three all draw against West of Scotland crack side Kelvin Amateurs in Glasgow was a very creditable result, the Tangerines came away disappointed that by winning two nil and three one they had possibly lost the chance for playing in the 5th, Rd. of the Scottish Cup. The replay goes ahead tomorrow at Seven Acres with a 1.00 p.m. kick off. The team hope all their supporters turn out in big numbers to encourage the boys

Letham Lads (sponsored by Stagger Inn, Princes Street) Hopefully the pitches will be playable tomorrow when the Lads have a home Perthshire Cup tie against first division Coupar Angus on the South Inch. Full details from Sandy

Letham U19’s (sponsored by J Queen & Son, Plumbers & Htg Eng.) Weather last Sunday at Brechin meant yet another week without a game. On Sunday the team are at Forfar to play Lochside. Meet clubhouse at noon prompt. Assistance with transport would be greatly appreciated

Letham U16’s (sponsored by TI Protective Coatings,Horwich, Bolton) With weather putting paid to recent fixtures it was pleasing that the Tangerines were on song against Luncarty last Sunday winning comfortably by three goals to nil. This Sunday they have the all powerful Abernethy Caledonia as visitors in the second leg of the League Cup. Caledonia currently hold a four goal advantage. Meet clubhouse at 11.15 a.m.

Letham U15’s (sponsored by A.De Cecco, Ceramic Tile Cont.) After weeks of inactivity the Tangerines are hopeful their League Cup away fixture at Perth Killie goes ahead. The game kicks off at 12.30 p.m. Max will advise details.

Letham U14’s (sponsored by Scottish Hydro Electric) Well done lads by winning an eleven goal thriller against Perth Killie last Sunday they recorded their first win of the season. There is doubt though that this week’s game away to Fair City will go ahead. Dougie or Angus will confirm arrangements

Soccer School (sponsored by Sidey Kitchens, Feus Road) The Soccer School for under 8’s has now closed down for the Festive Season. It will recommence on Saturday 17th, January at noon at Perth Academy Viewlands Road
