Huntly’s Michael Clark and Michael Philipson of Banks o’ Dee would love to win the Evening Express Aberdeenshire Cup for clubs which mean so much to them. The 29-year-old is determined to try to end Huntly’s 17-year wait to win a trophy, while their last Aberdeenshire Cup triumph was back in 1999. I think it would be for anyone who went to school in Huntly, came through the youth in Huntly and has gone out in the pubs in Huntly most Saturdays for 10 years. However, Philipson admits initially getting a chance with Dee came as a surprise. Huntly 2-0 Deveronvale – September 11 1999The last of the Black and Golds’ seven Evening Express Aberdeenshire Cup successes came in Phil Bonnyman’s second spell as manager against Deveronvale in a final played at Christie Park.
