St. Cuthbert Wanderers F.C.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Cuthbert Wanderers Football Club are a football (soccer) club from the town of Kirkcudbright in the Dumfries and Galloway area of Scotland. Formed in 1879 they are named after Cuthbert of Lindisfarne who is associated with the town of Kirkcudbright. The Saints (as the club is nicknamed) play their home matches at St. Mary's Park, which accommodates around 2,000 spectators, 250 of whom can be seated in the stand that exists at the venue. This is ample enough room for the 100 or so regular supporters of the club.

The team competes in the South of Scotland Football League (having played in earlier incarnations of this competition as well) and have won the league title several times. The team's strip (uniform) colours are blue and white hoops.

One famous ex-player is former goalkeeper Darren Martin from Dumfries. Manager at the time Dave 'Speedy' Clark signed Martin in January 2006. Martin went on to sign for Queen of the South in August 2006. Many said Martin was the best keeper in the South of Scotland League at the time.

The Saints recently lifted the South of Scotland League Cup after an 11 year wait beating Stranraer F.C in the final at St Mary's Park 4-2.
