The 40th anniversary celebrations for Fife Flyers’ groundbreaking British championship victory gets underway this weekend.

The 1985 victory at Wembley was a defining moment in the club’s history - and sparked a resurgence in the sport in Kirkcaldy.

Now a group of fans have pulled together a series of events to reunite the team and celebrate their landmark success, with all proceeds going to CHAS and Maggie’s Cancer Care Centre.
