| Biography | 1932-1936 The Management Committee. In July 1932 the committee decided to dispense with services of a player coach altogether, so trying to progress “without a professional”. This committee were PA Marshall President, T H Burns Hon. President, GM Manson, Hugh Ross, D G Elder, A Mathieson, W Kintrae, D Douglas, D G Munro (Canon}, Leo. Mackie (Alness), J F Hunter, R C Rennie, J MacKenzie (Tain). I assume the mention of Conon, Alness and Tain imply the remainder were from Dingwall. This decision was given a quick vindication, as the first game of the season was a 4-2 home win over Caley. The team did appear to be lacking in fitness as they had been 4-0 up! County followed this win up with a 3-1 win over Inverness Thistle. The team was made up of 100% Ross shire players. In late September County actually topped the table with Citadel and Fraserburgh although they had both played one game less. The committee led team did win the Stuart Cup beating Elgin City 2-1 as the season drew to an end. 9th place in the league, after challenging early on, was disappointing. It was clear County could not afford a player coach but such a person could have moulded this team into a better unit. A year’s profit of £22 3s and 4d was not enough to wipe out the £300 debt! The May 1935 AGM had a new suggestion that a selection committee of four out of the whole committee should exist, primarily to run the team. Radically the call was also for, on some occasions, that those four could travel with the team! | |
