Burrelton Rovers and Kettins joined forces to contest the first Jimmy Lindsay Memorial Trophy at Recreation Park recently.

Jimmy, who sadly passed away last year, was a stalwart of both clubs and remained a regular and loyal supporter at matches. Kettins won the match 6-2 through doubles from Jimis Fleming, Cammy Wheatley and Jez Bailey.

After the full-time whistle, players, committee members and fans of both teams gathered for a barbecue and drinks to reminisce about a man close to their hearts.

The Jimmy Lindsay Memorial Trophy will now be an annual match between the teams.

The inaugural tie was held a week before the start of the new Amateur football season, which kicked-off on Saturday.

Results in the Smith League Cup from Saturday were as follows:

Alyth 4, St Johns 1; Breadalbane 4, Vale of Earn 2; Bridgeton Utd 1, Jeanfield Swifts 8; Burrelton 3, Rattray 5; Fair City 14, Abernethy 0; FC Romania 7, Kinrossie Caledonian 3; Luncarty ASC 1, Auchterarder; Vale of Atholl 1, Kettins 5; Wolfhill 1, Lethamm CC 3.
