Even playing into the strong wind the Fraserburgh wingmen were getting behind the Peterhead defence and firing dangerous crosses into the box. At this point Peterhead were happy to just clear their lines and fire hopeful balls up to the front men. However as Fraserburgh let the chances go a begging, Peterhead counter attacks started to increase and from a James Penny cutback Liam Hay was in the right place to squeeze the ball home at the near post. A goal definitely against the run of play but you could sense the Blues could inflict more damage with these attacks. In the meantime Fraserburgh continued to have most of the possession but with nothing to show for it. Five minutes later James Penny turned goalscorer for Peterhead with a lovely finish from the right of the six yard line. Just a couple of minutes after that a long ball out of the Peterhead defence caught the home side napping and and left winger Ryan Robertson coolly lobbed the keeper from eighteen yards. As the half-time whistle blew the home side trudged off wondering how they could go in three nil down. Half time: Fraserburgh Link-Up 2-3 Peterhead BC Colts Peterhead midfield were starting to come into the game and the hard running forwards were increasing giving the home team more work to do at the back even though the home goalkeeper hardly had a save to make. Winger Reese Duncan was Fraserburgh's danger man throughout the match and after sixty five minutes he got his reward when he slipped the ball past the opposing goalkeeper to pull a goal back. A few minutes later Peterhead forward, James Penny was clean though on goal with a chance to kill the match but screwed his shot wide. Home side left back Jason Morrison had to leave the field shortly after that when an accidental kick in the face caused an injury to his nose. He was taken to the local hospital for a check up. As the Fraserburgh pressure grew, forward Scott Gibbons found himself unmarked eight yards out and fired low past the Peterhead keeper for the second Fraserburgh goal. The Brochers really went for it after that. With a couple of chances that seemed easier to score and another shot cleared off the line, they couldn't find that last bit of luck to give them the share of the points. Indeed Peterhead had one last chance to score which brought out a fine save by the home keeper. Full time: Fraserburgh Link-Up 2-3 Peterhead BC Colts An excellent match put on by two very good teams. With goals, chances and individual skills on display, this was an excellent advert for the North East Juvenile football. |

FDS welcomed Dyce to Westdyke Leisure Centre for what proved to be a very entertaining league tie. The game got off to a flying start and it was Dyce who drew first blood. A goalmouth scramble in the FDS box fell kindly for Rhys Simpson who slid the ball into the back of the net beyond FDS keeper, Daniel Probyn.

Playing in freezing conditions and a biting driving wind the Colts played against the wind in the first half and took longer to settle than Banchory, going a goal down within 8 minutes after a long range effort which was wind assisted and hit the back of the net. The Colts the settled with stand-in keeper Taylor Dawson deputising really well and looking confident but were finding the conditions tricky & gradually got into the game with some good link up play that created chances for Paul Duncan and Jonathan Duthie respectively who beat the defence and the Banchory keeper on both occasions only to see their efforts smash against the post. The midfield battle was fierce and Drew Marshall, Greg Cadger and James Stephen were up for the challenge despite being on the receiving end of some strong challenges. Banchory were threatening in their play but the Colts defence of Nathan Stuart, Aidan Buchan, Steven Summers and Charlie Spellman were equal to the test and the Colts saw out the half well despite being a goal down. Half Time: Peterhead BC Colts 0-1 Banchory BC Lions After a positive half time team talk the Colts emerged for the second half determined to take the game to Banchory and they did just that straight from the whistle as Greg Cadger tested the keeper from the half way line that almost caught out the Banchory keeper. The Colts were creating chance after chance and some good link up play between Charlie Spellman and Jonathan Duthie saw a goal line scramble which the Colts failed to capitalise. A series of corners followed with Liam Mackie putting in some brilliant deliveries. Paul Duncan was unlucky to not have scored but the Colts couldn’t make the pressure pay. The Colts subbed Paul Duncan for Sean Douglas who combined well with Jonathan Duthie and both were unlucky not to get on the scoresheet after creating chances for themselves. The Colts were now camped into Banchory's half and Taylor Dawson was a mere spectator in the Colts goal. After some good work by Charlie Spellman and Drew Marshall, the ball broke to Greg Cadger who rifled a shot from 35 yards off the post, it seemed that it may not be the Colts day and some dogged play by James Stephen saw him play a channel pass to Liam Mackie who put in a back post cross that just eluded Jonathan Duthie. After a good hard shift from James Stephen who he was then subbed for Ellis Roberts which proved vital in its timing, Ellis was on the pitch for a matter of minutes when the ball broke to him 30 yards out and he looked up and hit a high looping strike which sailed over the Banchory keeper and into the net to level the match at 1-1. The Colts continued to dominate and had chance after chance to get the winner, but it ended 1-1 and extra time followed. Full Time: Peterhead BC Colts 1-1 Banchory BC Lions With the Colts now playing into the wind again and a few tired legs the Colts freshened it up with Jordan Ferrari and Andrew Reid coming on for Charlie Spellman and Liam Mackie respectively who both had done a good job for the team. Yet again in the first half of extra time they took the game straight away to Banchory and within four minutes the Colts were ahead. Nathan Stuart won a solid tackle, then a great through ball by Ellis Roberts found Jonathan Duthie who was desperately unlucky not to have scored on previous occasions. He was strong to hold off the Banchory defender and cut across his man and shot a fierce strike passed the keeper to make it 2-1. Banchory were being limited to long balls and were beginning to look tired but still were threatening with the wind helping them. In the second half of extra time the Colts continued to dominate. Substitute Paul Duncan and Sean was playing well down the left and Sean got to the byline to cross into the box but his effort come off the back post and the keeper eventually collected the ball just as the Colts players stopped as they thought the ball was in. The Colts midfield of Drew Marshall, Ellis Robbers, Jordan Ferrari and Greg Cadger were playing with confidence, giving Banchory no time on the ball and the Colts defence too remained solid as Nathan Stuart, Aidan Buchan and Steven Summers were defending well and were helped by fresh legs and the physical presence of Andrew Reid too who was battling away. A few late chances fell to Banchory who were looking for the equaliser that they barely deserved. A free kick late on at the edge of the box came to no avail and the ref blew for full time to the joy of the Colts and their supporters who braved the freezing conditions. AET: Peterhead BC Colts 2-1 Banchory BC Lions This is a great achievement for the team, of which are all local boys from the Peterhead area in reaching their first ever final which they thoroughly deserved it with a great battling & dominating display against an A-League team. A very well done lads from the management duo of Ally Marshall and Graeme Mackie, as well as the team coaches of Scotty Bruce and Bill Buchan! |

Both teams were up for the game after a long layoff, and the early action came from the midfield as both teams looked to attack. Bridge of Don pressurised the Byron goal with a free kick well defended by the wall, and the resultant corner came to nothing as they seeked the first goal. Byron had the next attack when the right winger challenged for the ball with the Don goalkeeper. The ball broke to the Byron forward whose shot narrowly missed the target. Half Time: Byron BC 0-0 Bridge of Don Ten minutes into the second half, Byron were awarded a penalty. Shaun Morrison stepped up and scored low to the keeper’s left hand post to put Byron 1-0 to the good. Fifteen minutes later, Murray Allan collected the ball on the left of the 18 yard box and beat three players before passing the ball to Shaun Morrison who scored his second with a far-post finish. Bridge of Don changed tactics by playing three in defence as they tried to look for a way back into the game, but to no avail as the referee blew his whistle for the final time. Full Time: Byron BC 2-0 Bridge of Don |

Cults looked dangerous early on. A Cults player used some great pace to get down the wing. He made it to the left corner of the field and tried to send a ball into the box but Taylor Berry intercepted it well. A minute later Cults Ac. had another chance when a Cults player was nearly played through on goal, but Ross Jamieson made a great tackle. Half Time: Grove Academy 0-3 Cults Academy

B league leaders Banchory had home advantage against A league Colony Park in this Under 17 Semi Final. Banchory had already disposed off A League opponents Lewis United in the previous round whilst Colony Park had knocked out Scottish Cup holders Albion BC.
Colony had the stiff breeze at their backs as the game kicked off at a bitterly cold Milton Park. Banchory keeper Masson was alert to some early pressure as Colony pushed for the opener. With 5 minutes on the clock Colony were awarded a free kick 20 yards from goal. Duguid kept his shot low and Masson could only parry the ball and Dawson was alert to knock home the rebound to give the visitors an early lead. The visitors almost made it two when Duguid broke free down the right and fired in a great ball across the face off the goal, Wood just failed to make contact sliding in at the back post. Milne then went close for Banchory heading a corner kick delivery just wide. Banchory were then awarded a free kick 20 yards out Milne struck it high into the breeze, to all watching it seemed to be going over the cross bar but dipped in the breeze and dropped over Garden in the Colony goal. Banchory got a lift and with their next attack Flaherty floated a ball forward to Marnoch who got behind the defence, Garden got a hand to the ball but there was enough power in the shot to carry over the line and Banchory were 2-1 up. Only a close offside call prevented Marnoch the opportunity to make it 3- 1. Colony then equalised on the 38th minute when Kennedy and Burr combined down the right and Burr cut the ball back for Watson to pick his spot. It was to be 3 -2 to Colony at the break Lawrence guiding home a header from a Kennedy cross. Half Time: Banchory Boys 2-3 Colony Park Banchory had an early chance at the start of the second half but the cross was too strong. Colony then scored twice as first Watson latched on to a loose ball at the edge of the area and then Wood found space and the ball was played to Lawrence who hit a rocket into the top corner. The whirlwind start to the 2nd half had rocked Banchory and the game settled down. Banchory were seeing plenty off the ball but could not breach a well drilled Colony team. On the 73rd minute Milne won a header from a corner the loose ball falling to Brimmer who volleyed the ball home. Watson almost got his hat-rick as a shot from him hit the post but he was not to be denied with minutes left as he fired in from the edge of the area once more to seal Colony’s place in the final. A terrific game played in great spirit, Colony just proving to be too strong for their B League opponents. Banchory still have a lot to play for as they look towards securing the league title in the coming weeks. Whilst Colony have the cup final and the semi final of the Noskab Trophy to come. Full Time: Banchory Boys 3-6 Colony Park
