I would however After the complete wash out of the Huntly match we have like to single out Bryan Hay for his commitment to the had a fantastic couple of weeks since then. To bring the cause last week by going back on to finish the game after Evening Express Aberdeenshire Cup back to Bellslea after our his clash of heads with Ross Willox. Ross wasn’t given the 2 -1 victory against Formartine United was brilliant. We opportunity to do so due to the nature of the cut to his thoroughly deserved the victory on the night and I think eye but I have no doubt he would have preferred to join having seen all the photos posted on social media from the Bryan back on the pitch. Bryan won the stitches game it is clear that it was a great night for everyone competition by six to four. involved with the club. We have had a good start to the season but as we all The support on the night was excellent and on behalf of know in this league there are no easy games and that will everyone at the club I thank each and every one of you. certainly be the case when Keith & Locos come to Bellslea over the next two matches.

First up was winning the Aberdeenshire Cup Final against Formartine. After a fairly even first half, I thought we thoroughly deserved to win the game on the back of a superb second half performance. What were your thoughts? It was great to get the win and take the Aberdeenshire Cup back to Bellslea. I thought we started the game better than Formartine and thoroughly deserved to get the early goal. In truth we should have scored at least a couple more with the We have had our fair share of injuries of late and with the chances we created. Formartine are a very good side so it was other title challengers strengthening, we felt that we couldn’t inevitable that they would have a spell and they dominated be left behind. Michael Rae has been unbelievable for me and the back end of the first half and managed to get an equaliser the team. He came back to help us out in our time of need which was deserved. At half time I reminded the team that we and is actually playing with quite a bad injury, but he is were very much in this game and in fact had another gear or playing through it as that is the type of lad he is. We knew two to go up. Again we came out the traps early and managed that he couldn’t play 90 minutes for every game and that left to get a second goal at the start of the second half. We Paul Young as our only recognised central midfielder. We have created numerous chances to make our lead comfortable but a very good relationship with Jim McInally at Peterhead and didn’t quite manage to get more goals. In the end I think we he highlighted Ross to us and said he would be available for managed the game excellent and gave Formartine very little loan. We took the gamble and I think it started to pay off opportunities. The only chance I can recall was from Gethins early as he was very good in the final and looks to be a great which Paul did excellent to turn over the bar. It was what we addition. Grant Campbell ticks all the boxes of what is deserved in the end and I don’t think anyone would argue that required to be a Broch player. More importantly, he knows we were the better side on the night. I always tend to what it takes to win and is a born winner. His experience of dedicate these sort of wins to the players and my back room winning countless trophies with Cove will hopefully help us team as they put all the hard work in to try and win the game going forward. Another excellent addition. Greg has really and on this instance the plan worked. That said it was good to bailed us out. We knew Paul would be unavailable for the get the win for the fans who have been great to us of late so Brora game but then Joe Barbour was called away with work it was good to get another trophy on board for them.
