From the archives: Freuchie cricket glory
Twenty-five years ago, Freuchie Cricket Club achieved a famous victory at Lord's when they beat Surrey side Rowledge to win the National Village Championship.
On September 1, 1985, the small club became the first from Scotland to win the competition, beating off 700 teams. More than 3000 fans had travelled to London and saw captain Dave Christie lift the trophy.
We dig into the DC Thomson archives to remember a special day when the team were welcomed home.
