AWAY GAME v BRECHIN CITY FC
BREEDON HIGHLAND LEAGUE
GLEBE PARK, BRECHIN, DD9 7BJ
SATURDAY 7 SEPTEMBER – KO 3pm
This week it’s on the bus to one of our furthest venues in the Breedon Highland League, Glebe Park in Brechin.
As Brechin are currently sitting on top of the league it will again prove to be an exceptionally difficult place to pick up a point or three.
Last season we were unfortunately well beaten twice, home and away, by the team that finished second in the league so hopefully this season, and especially with a rejuvenated team from our first win last Saturday, we will do better and as we always say ….you never know in football!!!
We’re still waiting for our injury list to clear up but the addition of “trialist” Paul Brindle last week seemed to galvanise the team and he was very much instrumental in us getting our first victory of the season.
We wish Ryan and the boys all the best for Saturday.
LAST SATURDAY’S MATCH v LOSSIEMOUTH FC IN GRANTOWN
Games between ourselves and Lossie have proved over the years to hard fought affairs and this was no exception.
On what was a beautiful afternoon for football, we started the game very much on the front foot going ahead after twelve minutes when trialist Paul Brindle was taken down in the box and from the resultant penalty Aaron Nicolson scored – his fourth for the Jags putting us one up.
Both keepers, Lossie’s Stuart Knight and our own Euan Storrier were frequently called into action each making a couple of good saves before the Jags’ Scot Docherty rounded off an excellent move and doubling our goal tally – and that is how it remained until half-time.
After the break it was more of the same with the Jags playing some good football and you could see the confidence in their play culminating in the sixty-second minute when Juan Cardona’s shot hit the back of the net to make it three.
The home supporters greeted the final whistle with a lot of noise and everyone at the Club was delighted that we had secured our first three points of the campaign with an assertive display and a clean sheet.
FINAL SCORE STRATHSPEY THISTLE 3 – LOSSIEMOUTH 0.

LOTTERY CH-CH-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.
