Colony Park F.C. are a Scottish football club from the town of Inverurie, Aberdeenshire. Formed in 1978 as Colony Park Boys Club, they are the largest Juvenile football club in North-East Scotland, running teams from U7 through to U19 level. In 2011, they successfully applied for membership of the Scottish Junior Football Association, and joined North Region, Division Two for the 2011–12 season. This allows former youth players to continue with the club and bridges a gap between age group football and the Highland League.
Former Colony players include Barry Robson and Darren Mackie.[1]
The Colony Park facility after which the club is named, was opened in 1977 and until 1999 was the home of Inverurie Juniors, the town's previous Junior side.
The Junior team are managed since January 2014 by former Aberdeen and Motherwell striker Andy Roddie.[2]managament [sic]
