05 December 2003
The Whites were playing well until just before the interval when a defensive lapse allowed the Tangerines to easily open the scoring. After the break their clubmates proved to be the much stronger team and ran out comfortable winners. To their credit however they did score an excellent albeit consolation goal after a bout of sustained pressure. On Monday evening the team travelled to Auchterarder to play off an outstanding fixture. Despite trailing at one stage they came storming back to finish deserved winners by nine goals to four.

07 May 2004
The team have completed their fixtures for the season. Last week saw a busy schedule bring the season to a close. An early strike from Owen Thomson saw the Tangerines take the lead in a home league fixture against Gannochy, but the visitors equalised and there was no more scoring. Oakbank were the final visitors to Seven Acres and despite the home team having the bulk of the play, the visitors snatched the only goal to leave with all three points. On Sunday the team played in the final of the K.B. Challenge Cup. Despite leaving with runners up medals the boys acquitted themselves well and enjoyed the experience of the whole day. Many thanks to all the supporters who came along and supported the team not only on Sunday but also for all other games during the season. Advice as to end of season presentation will be announced shortly.
