Fraserburgh Link Up 1 - 4 Dyce BC Saturday 30th October 2004 Fraserburgh A League
Despite the heavy rain that was
experienced during the week the pitch at Fraserburgh was passed
playable although its nickname of "The Himalayas" was evident.
Both teams started off positively, but
the first breakthrough came when Fraserburgh took the lead after an
early ball caught out the Dyce defence and the Broch forward pounced
to score. Dyce gradually came back into the game and when a cross by
Jonathon Stalker was headed on by Ross Andrew, Stuart Lornie shot just
wide. Jake Strachan was unlucky when he headed over from a flighted
free kick by Stephen Jeffrey. Another free kick this time taken by
Kevin Henry led to a header by Steven Whyte which was well saved by
the ex Dyce and Aberdeen keeper "Gizzy". The equaliser came when a
lovely through ball by Stuart Lornie led to Allen Padua scoring with a
low driven shot. Dyce were beginning to win the midfield battle with
Allen Padua and Kevin Henry in particular showing their strength and
skill. A corner from Stevie Whyte saw Stevie Jeffrey putting Dyce in
front with a well placed header. Minutes later Simon Leslie was
unlucky when he spotted the Fraserburgh keeper off his line but his
long range shot went just over. Ross Andrew who was working tirelessly
up front on the heavy pitch saw his shot go wide after he had beat the
Fraserburgh defence to a through ball and rounded the keeper. Dyce's
defence was looking solid with Jonathon Stalker, Stephen Jeffrey,
Scott Brown and also Simon Mathers when he came on stopping any effort
by Fraserburgh to get back into the game.
half-time 2 - 1
The game was all but over when Dennis
Ewing in the Dyce goal hit a long clearance which beat the defence for
Ross Duncan to score with a delicate lob over the onrushing keeper.
Allen Padua then came close when only a last ditch tackle prevented
his goal bound shot extending the lead. Stephen Jeffrey who was
playing a blinder got his second and Dyce's fourth when a corner was
flicked on by Jake Strachan to allow Jaffa to finish off with a close
range header. Jonathon Stalker then went on a mazy run from his own
half and was only stopped when he was taken down on the edge of the
box. Stevie Inglis took the resulting free kick but his shot was well
blocked by the Fraserburgh defence.
Full - time 4 - 1
A good result against a side who look
capable of taking points from most teams. The team worked hard and
coped with the pitch well with some excellent displays.
Well done, now on to the Scottish Cup
against a team, Syngenta who come up to Aberdeen with a good
reputation.
