Season 2011-12
The club entered the Challenge Cup for the first time, and were drawn away to Forfar Athletic F.C. in the first round. They lost 5-4 on penalties following a very creditable 1-1 draw. The season ended on a high note when the club won the Highland League Cup, beating Cove Rangers 2-0 at Banff.
However, they couldn't make it three Highland League titles in a row, as they finished 5th. The title was won by Forres Mechanics.
It was officially announced on 4 June 2012 that Gregg Carroll had resigned his post as Buckie Thistle manager and retired from football. He has been replaced by his former assistant Gary Hake.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“At this season I seldom had a visitor. When the snow lay deepest no wanderer ventured near my house for a week or fortnight at a time, but there I lived as snug as a meadow mouse.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
