AWAY MATCH v KEITH FC
BREEDON HIGHLAND LEAGUE
KYNOCH PARK, KEITH AB55 5EB
SATURDAY 22 NOVEMBER 2025 – KICK OFF 3pm
This Saturday, weather permitting, we’re off down the A95 to Kynoch Park, Keith for our Breedon Highland League match against Keith FC.
This begins our second round of fixtures and being on twenty-two points for the season it is, so far, our best season since we joined the league in 2009.
Keith visited us for our first match of the season way back in July and we started the league well with a 3-1 win so, I would imagine the Maroons will want to avenge that result. Keith, on seventeen points, sit in twelfth place in the league one place below ourselves and have been putting together one or two decent results over the past few weeks, and drew with Brechin City on Wednesday night at Glebe Park, the home side levelling with a stoppage time penalty – so Saturday’s game has the makings of a cracker…..providing Kynoch Park escapes what looks like a bleak weather forecast – please check out our social media if you are planning going.
SATURDAY’S GAME v LOSSIEMOUTH AT SEAFIELD PARK.
As football clichés go this was a game of two halves as Lossiemouth had the better of the first half and scored just before half-time going in 1-0 up.
However, a different Jags team started the second half, and we were level after three minutes when captain James McShane out jumped the Lossie defence and from six yards headed home from a corner. Goal number two followed fifteen minutes later when Caelan Mutch fired home a screamer from just outside the penalty box. The match was over in the ninety-second minute when Calum Brown dispossessed the Lossie keeper thirty yards out, and ran in to score the Jags’ third.
Ex-Jag Owen Lovelace pulled one back for the visitors two minutes later making the final score 3-2 for the Jags.
Again it was a hard fought match, and as everyone now says there are very few easy matches in the Highland League.
As stated earlier the win took our points tally to twenty-two, so hopefully we are on track for our best season yet.

Welcome to the Jags, Strathy that is…Bodhan!
SCOTLAND’S MENS FOOTBALL TEAM
Although we had a wee setback on Saturday night with a loss against Greece – the last twenty minutes of the game must have given us a bit of confidence coming back from three goals down and scoring two and especially with result in Denmark.
So it was a showdown at Hampden on Tuesday night – winner takes all.
WHAT A GAME……three brilliant goals – you would be lucky seeing one at a match during a season, maybe a lifetime, but not three in the one match…add to that Denmark equalising twice – they only needed to draw – and the jubilation after the final whistle meaning after twenty-eight years we were going to a World Cup.
Everybody at Strathspey Thistle would like to send their congratulations to the players and managerial team…..and as a post script according to our Club historian Rob Clark, Lawrence Shankland’s great uncle was Sir Thomas Shankland, provost of the town in the 1960’s, and Shankland Court in Grantown was named after him. – you never know if Lawrence has a great World Cup there maybe another set of houses named after him!!!
