HOME GAME v LOSSIEMOUTH FC
BREEDON HIGHLAND LEAGUE
SEAFIELD PARK, GRANTOWN-ON-SPEY, PH26 3HE
SATURDAY 31 AUGUST 2024 – KO 3pm
Fans, committee and playing staff of Lossiemouth FC are the visitors to Seafield Park this Saturday and it usually means a very tight exciting game if last years meetings are anything to go by…
This season, as occupants of the bottom two places in the league in the parlance of football “ a real six pointer…
Both teams have had a difficult start to the season culminating on Thursday in the news that Lossie had parted with their manager, the experienced Eddie Wolek Black, and will arrive in Grantown with Ian Campbell, Steve Porter and Steven Dunn in charge of the team.
Lossie started August well, their four points earned over the first two matches, but have since failed to win a game so they will be looking to change that but, although the Jags are still not at full strength, head coach Ryan Esson has been pleased with progress over the last couple of weeks or so. and will expect much from the match.
If it is anything to go by our web spies agree saying that we have competed well in most of the last few games and in Buckie on Wednesday night there was a wee bit of a change in the atmosphere around the ground after our second goal…..
So we’re hoping that come five o’clock on Saturday afternoon we’re only a point behind Lossie after claiming our first win of the season!

WEDNESDAY NIGHT’S MATCH v BUCKIE THISTLE
On looking at the score which was 8-2 in favour of the home team it looks as if it was all one way….but as most spectators would agree it was anything but!
We were playing ok holding our own up until twenty minutes or so, when we lost two quick goals followed by another two before half-time.
The second half had hardly started when Aaron Nicolson had scored two to make the score 4-2 ….we were then the dominant team and missed and real chance to add to our tally at which point my spies said they wouldn’t have known how the game would have finished….however, it was not to be and after seventy-six minutes Buckie scored again and I think that changed the mind-set somewhat as we lost another three goals in the last seven minutes…..lessons learned.
Special mention must go to Buckie’s young striker Lyall Keir who netted five goals….

£7400 TO BE WON – THIS WEEK’S JACKPOT PRIZE
LOTTERY
As ever we conclude this week’s meanderings offering you a jackpot win of £7400 on our online fundraising lottery – click here if you want to play…
LOTTERY CH-CH-CHANGES
As intimated a couple of weeks ago after the current jackpot, has been won therefore completing that game there will be couple of changes.
There will still be a weekly prize of £100 for a consolation winner if their entry matches four of the five numbers drawn, however instead of a weekly increase in the jackpot of £100, this will now be increased monthly.
The game is to forecast 5 winning numbers, which are drawn at random, from 1-20. The 5 numbers chosen are to be marked by a cross (X).
- The Jackpot prize starts at £1,000 and the game continues until it is won and starts afresh. As applicable, the Jackpot increases by £100 immediately after the first draw in each calendar month, up to a maximum of £5,000. The Jackpot is then capped at £5,000 until it is won in a weekly draw.
- If more than one player has 5 winning numbers, the Jackpot will be divided equally among the winning players.
- Should no entry forecast all 5 winning numbers, then any player matching 4 numbers will be entered into a draw for a single Consolation Prize of £100.
- THE DRAW will take place every SUNDAY at 7pm unless otherwise advised.
- The entrant named on the ticket must be at least 16 years of age.
- All winners will be notified.
