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.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“The theater is a baffling business, and a shockingly wasteful one when you consider that people who have proven their worth, who have appeared in or been responsible for successful plays, who have given outstanding performances, can still, in the full tide of their energy, be forced, through lack of opportunity, to sit idle season after season, their enthusiasm, their morale, their very talent dwindling to slow gray death. Of finances we will not even speak; it is too sad a tale.”
—Ilka Chase (1905–1978)
