St. Duthus Football Club (also referred to as Tain St. Duthus Football Club) is a senior Scottish football club playing in the North Caledonian Football League based at Grant Park (by the Links) in the town of Tain in the Scottish Highlands.

Origins

Like many sports clubs in the Royal Burgh of Tain, several early incarnations of football teams adopted the name of Saint Duthac, the patron saint of Tain. Prior to the formalization of St. Duthus FC as an association football club, various combinations began playing informal association or rugby football matches using the St. Duthus name from the 1870s onwards.[1]

History

Pre-War

Officially formed in 1885 as an offshoot of St Duthus Cricket Club, St. Duthus Football Club began their existence under the association code by playing friendly matches against neighbouring towns and villages as founder members of the Ross-shire branch of the Scottish Junior Football Association. The "Saints" played in red and white vertical stripes throughout their formative years playing at the Links Playing Fields.

In 1895, St. Duthus played competitively for the first time in both the Pattisons' Challenge Cup and the Ross-shire Junior Cup. It was not until 1919–20 that they would compete for league honours, when they became the winners of the Ross-shire Junior League at the first time of asking following the association's restart at the end of the First World War.

In 1924–25, St. Duthus won the North of Scotland Junior Cup – at the time the highest accolade for teams playing the junior association code in the Highlands.

Following the death of long time club President The Count de Serra Largo, the team briefly fell into abeyance in 1932 before returning in 1934 with a newly formed committee and identity, now playing in team colours of horizontal black and white hoops.[2]

After the War

Back in their traditional colours of red and white, St. Duthus competed after the Second World War as a member of the Ross-shire Junior League until the league was reformed in the late 1950s as the Ross-shire Welfare League, and the club won its first Ross-shire Welfare League title in 1955.[3]

Under the management of Christopher Grant the team enjoyed their most successful year in the Ross-shire Welfare League in 1963, winning all four association cup trophies, and narrowly missing out on the league championship after a technicality led to a reversed result.[4][5]

North Caledonian League

The club switched to senior status and gained membership of the North Caledonian Football League (then known as the North of Scotland Reserve League) in 1971, at which time they changed their name to Tain St. Duthus F.C., adopting their home town at the start of their name.

The club enjoyed their most successful spell under the management of Edwin Skinner between 1976 and 1986, winning six cup competitions during his tenure.

Tain St. Duthus competed as members of the league until the club's withdrawal from the association before the start of the 2005–06 season due to financial problems.[6] The team were briefly succeeded in the league by Ross-shire Welfare League team Tain Thistle for seasons 2008–09 and 2009–10.[7][8]

On 22 March 2016, a new committee was formed and the club was re-admitted to the North Caledonian Football League on 18 May 2016.[9][10] In their first season following their revival, they reached the Jock Mackay Cup Final, narrowly losing to Orkney F.C. in a penalty shoot-out.[11] They made amends the following season when they won their first silverware since their revival, defeating Golspie Sutherland F.C. at King George V Park to win the North Caledonian Cup on 10 March 2018.[12]

St. Duthus were awarded the Scottish Football Association Quality Mark Standard award on 9 November 2017.[13]

Ground

St Duthus played at Tain's public Links Playing Fields from their formation in 1885 until the late 1940s - by which time it had become clear that damage done to the park during the Second World War had taken its toll on the surface. The club then moved to Coronation Park – a piece of land handed over to the club by the Tain town council in 1951. They remained there until 1965, after the club took the decision to sell the ground to Morrison Construction for a four-figure sum.[14] For decades thereafter, St. Duthus remained at the Links.

In 1988, a new ground adjacent to the Links was leased from the Ross & Cromarty Council for a period of 21 years and developed for use by St. Duthus. It was later named Grant Park, after former manager and committee member Christopher Grant. The club played their first game on the new ground in 1995, welcoming then Highland Football League champions Huntly F.C. for a friendly match to mark its official opening.

On their return to the North Caledonian League in the 2016–17 season, the Saints again played at the Links Playing Fields before returning to Grant Park in January 2019 after renewing their lease on the ground for 25 years.[15]
