What were your thoughts on the match and how delighted are you on reaching the Aberdeenshire Cup Final? I think it was a very disciplined performance. First half they had a couple of near misses but we managed to keep them out. Second half we created the better chances I felt and at the same time limited them to shots from distance. It certainly was the best defensive performance the lads have put in and that's the whole team not just the defenders. With the win we get ourselves in to a final which the guys have earned. It will be a good occasion where the best team on the day will reap the rewards. Finals are great for any club. They are days out for the players, coaching staff, Today we face Dalbeattie Star in the Scottish Cup. directors and of course the fans who have followed us How difficult a tie will this be and how important are through thick and thin.

We all know how financially rewarding lads put in a tremendous effort, especially after having getting in to the next rounds are for us part time clubs had a tough match on the Wednesday. Formartine are a but the players also look to get through to show that the good side and are very ambitious but we matched them highland league is a good standard and pip themselves on the day and in my opinion there wasn't much against better players. It is tough to prepare for games between the teams. I am proud of how the boys against teams from other leagues as you are not familiar performed against one of the top teams on their own with them but we have done our homework and no patch. But as well as hard work and ability you need a doubt Dalbeattie will have done the same. This is the bit of luck and unfortunately we didn't get the rub of the first time I will have been involved in a game against green with their goal and the chances which fell to us. Dalbeattie Star so I look forward to meeting everyone Over the last 4 games we have only conceded 2 goals and welcome all those involved with the club to our which shows we are heading in the right direction.
