The Aberdeenshire and District Football Association said they are “delighted” a date has finally been set to begin this season’s Evening Express Aberdeenshire Cup. The historic tourney, which sees the victorious team awarded one of the oldest and most impressive trophies in global football, will begin this weekend. A draw for the competition – which has been delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic – was made at the Evening Express’ Marischal Square offices earlier in the year. Willie Young, secretary of the ADFA, said: “With Covid-19 having such an effect on football within the north-east, the association is delighted to be getting the first two rounds of the Evening Express Aberdeenshire Cup under way this weekend. Garry Farquhar, president of the ADFA, said: “I am pleased that the 124th Evening Express Aberdeenshire Cup is getting under way this weekend.
