Long Walk For Charity
A punishing schedule of 44 miles of walking every day for six days, lies ahead of four Dundee men as they attempt to walk to Manchester for charity. The four, all members of Tayside St Mungo Lodge of the Buffaloes, are trying to raise £1000 for the Arbroath Adult Training Centre. The walk's organiser Mr Patrick Allen, 129, Kingsway East, who suffers from a bone disease, will be travelling in a support car, to back up the walkers.Postcard Exhibition

David Dodds was the only Dundee United player to score a hat-trick last season. He did it in the league game on January 31st and repeated the feat in the Scottish cup in March.
Eammon Bannon was quick to do the trick this season with three goals in the opening league cup tie at Ayr. The fans will be hoping it is the first of many hat-tricks for this season.
