MIGHTY RE-ARRANGER

HOME GAME v BRORA RANGERS FC
BREEDON HIGHLAND LEAGUE
SEAFIELD PARK, GRANTOWN-ON-SPEY, PH26 3HY
WEDNESDAY 6 MARCH 2024 – KO 8pm

I think that this will be third time that this game has been scheduled – and so far the weather forecast looks good and hopefully all things weather and fate will align so that the game can eventually go ahead.

This match is the first of three home games in a row for the Jags so we welcome to Grantown, players, committee and supporters of Brora Rangers on what we hope will be a calm evening under the floodlights at Seafield Park. 
Brora who are currently sitting in 9th place in the league but have only played twenty-one games which is five games in hand on the co- leaders Bank’s O’ Dee and three games with Brechin City. I think Brora would have been considering themselves very much title contenders but recent results- two draws and a loss, mean that may not be the case this season but even so, they will come to Seafield Park intent on getting the win.

The last time we played Brora, back in August at Dudgeon Park, we played very well. Although being two down at half time, we pulled a goal back through Jack Davison but, we lost a very late goal to make the final score 3-1 to the home side…but for a lot of the game we matched or bettered The Cattachs. 

Another effort like that from the boys on Wednesday night and, with a different and more positive result, would give the Jags a fair boost for the remainder of the season. Recent results have not been very kind to us and it would be great to get something out of the game.

LAST SATURDAY’S GAME v BUCKIE THISTLE.
Unfortunately like many this season we had another postponed game – after a late morning pitch inspection the decision was made that the ground was waterlogged – a scenario that has been quite common this season unfortunately at Victoria Park, as there seems to be an underground  burst pipe or similar – no-one seems to quite know where the water is coming from and with that problem along with heavy overnight rain there could be no other outcome other than postponement. Buckie have been playing some home games at Lossiemouth but had managed to host Clachnacuddin the previous week.

PITCH FIXING
As already mentioned this is the first of three home games in a row, so that means on the following mornings The Merry Forkers will be down at Seafield Park on Thursday 7, Tuesday 12  and Thursday 14 March at about 10am preparing the pitch for the next game – all you need is a fork and a pair of wellies…..if it’s wet…. and a couple of hours of your time – it would be very much appreciated.
