Based on Slug Road in Aberdeenshire, Mackie
Academy FP competed in the RBS Caledonia
League Division 1 last season. They are led by
President Andrew Mitchell who is supported by
Secretary Shona Dyer and the club is looking to
progress under their leadership. The club prides
itself on giving visitors a warm welcome and
playing a vital role in the local community.
Last season, it would be fair to say that their first team
did not perhaps enjoy the campaign that they would
have liked as they put together a record of having won
5 and lost 13 of their 18 matches. This saw them finish
near the bottom of the league with 31 points on the
board.
There were some positives to take out of the season
however and one of these was that they showed they
were capable of putting points on the board when
they were on their game. In total they racked up 352
points in the league helped by some fluent displays of
attacking rugby.
Playing with such style will certainly ensure that
any supporters attending their games will be well

entertained and this should encourage more of the
community to get behind them in the future. The key
now will be ensuring that they are able to produce the
goods on a more consistent basis in order to allow
them to win a higher percentage of fixtures.
The club’s attentions will now have turned towards
the 2014/15 campaign and ensuring that they are
able to get off to a good start. So long as they are
able to retain their current group of players and
perhaps make one or two quality additions they
should be able to claim a higher finish.
As mentioned, Mackie Academy FP is a club that is
committed to playing an important role in the local
community and a major part of this relates to the
work that they do with young players. They have a
number of youth teams set up which look to provide
young players from the local area with an opportunity
to play the game in a safe and enjoyable environment
whilst helping them to reach their full potential.
It is important for any club to be able to produce their
own talent, particularly in the current financial climate
and this is an area that they appear to have covered.
