Our last few games have been good to watch and our forward play has been outstanding. The results have been good and we have all but confirmed our place in the top four. We require one more point from our remaining games to clinch that top four finish. Nathan Stuart’s first goal for the club. It was the same the previous weekend where Arnie Cepulis With that comes a place in the Irn Bru Cup. The format made his first team debut in the 7-1 win at home to will almost certainly be the same as last year so our aim Huntly. I enjoy seeing our youngsters getting their now is to go for third place so that we have a home tie landmarks and look forward to many more. in the Preliminary Round. The competition is run by the SPFL and we have no say in that. We are invited guests We only have one unscheduled fixture left, which is and are happy to be included. the away match at Clach.

What did you think led to such a comfortable win? It was a very satisfying win. To be honest I think the fact that Huntly won the toss at the start and then turned us around ended up backfiring a bit. There was a relatively strong wind going down the park and with Huntly opting to change ends it meant we would have the wind in our backs for the first half. This resulted in us playing the The referee had a very tough decision to make that day majority of the game in their half. We managed to blitz and if any one has the right to feel aggrieved then it a 15 minute spell where we scored five times to put should be me more than anyone however I have no issue ourselves in a comfortable position at half time. We with the referee’s decision and look forward to then managed to control the second half and ultimately welcoming Keith the Bellslea again. win the game 7-1. It felt that every time we went forward in the game we looked like we could score. Our Keith had a very good win last Saturday at Nairn so no attacking play at the minute is very good and it showed doubt you are preparing for another tough game against a team who have a good recent record at the in this game. Huntly have been a bit of a bogey team in recent times so it was very pleasing to get the three Bellslea? points from this one. It was a massive win for them as I know myself how That was followed up with another excellent all round difficult it can be to get a result up there so fair play to display at Turriff last week with some brilliant them. In my time we have often struggled against Keith, attacking play in the first hour and just as importantly especially at Bellslea so this will definitely be a tough an assured defensive performance. How did you see game. They have some very good players in their side the match? who, if they turn up will cause us problems. In Cammy Keith they have arguably the best striker this league has We seemed to carry on our attacking play into this seen in the last 10 years so of course we will have to game. I think the players handled it very well. There has make sure we perform to our best. We are on a good run been a lot of comings and goings between the clubs and enjoying our football at the moment and the lads do including myself and Kris both having spells at Turriff not want that to end so hopefully we can put in a and Fraserburgh, so sometimes people try and add a bit performance that will keep the points at home. of spice to it which can unnerve players. Thankfully we were very assured and actually started the game on the All the Best, front foot. Sean managed to get himself a couple of Mark goals relatively early which settled us and allowed us to play more. Again, the same as against Huntly, each time we went forward we looked dangerous. Huge congratulations to the team as we have again broken our goals scored record which we set last year and with four games to spare. Some of the goals were very well worked and yes just as pleasing as scoring the nine was that we kept a clean sheet. We managed to dominate at both ends and win comprehensively against a young Turriff team whom will only get better as they develop. With today's match being rearranged after the original game was abandoned with less than 15 minutes to go and the team leading 4-2 do the guys need any further motivation to ensure they pick up the three points which their efforts merited first time around? I don’t think we can use that as motivation. It was disappointing how it unfolded however it was my opinion that the original game shouldn’t have started so had I got my way then we would be in this position anyway. Fraserburgh FC Official Matchday Programme CCAAPPTTAAIINN’’SS CCOORRNNEERR Afternoon folks, today is the rescheduled match against Keith which was abandoned with less than 15 minutes to go, probably the less I say about that decision the better... On that game we dominated, Keith played ok with the wind but we were comfortable and knew in the 2nd half we would win convincingly, that’s the way the game was going until they started kicking the ball into the air to highlight the wind, but that makes us even more determined to get the 3 points today.
