Newtonmore Duo Make Strathspey Thistle Football Switch. | |
06 December 2011 Newtonmore duo Steven MacDonald and Paul MacArthur have signed up for local football side Strathspey Thistle during the shinty close season. Strathspey Thistle boss Brian Ritchie has taken the chance to boost his squad by securing the signatures of MacDonald, who was previously on Ross County's books, and MacArthur for his side's Highland League campaign. MacDonald and MacArthur made their debuts in the 2-0 home defeat to Nairn County on Saturday 26 November 2011 and Ritchie was pleased with how the pair played. Ritchie also hopes to add a third Newtonmore player, Marine Harvest U21 National Player of the Year, Rory Kennedy to his squad as Thistle bid to move off the bottom of the league. |
