BUCKIE ENTER THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND LEAGUE
A decision taken at the 1927 AGM instructed the Secretary of the Club to make enquiries regarding membership of the North of Scotland Cricket Association.
A report in the Banffshire Advertiser of 31 March indicated that Buckie CC had been admitted to the North of Scotland League and a meeting of the Club was called to consider arrangements for carrying out league games. Buckie made their debut against the Black Watch at Fort George and a winning one it was too. Their home debut was equally successful and details of these two games are as follows:
