Banks o’ Dee v Culter: Culter suffered their second defeat in the space of
four days to Banks o’ Dee on a terrible Spain Park pitch that looked as if it
was covered with speed bumps. The away team had the best of the opening 35
minutes but as soon as they conceded a goal there looked to be only one winner.
McBain made a terrific run in only the 3rd minute that took him from inside his
own half into the Dee box but his shot come cross flashed across the face of
goal. Shand and then Craigie both had decent efforts from outside the box that
drifted inches wide. Youngson sent in a delightful free kick that found the
inrushing Shand but he couldn’t direct his shot towards goal. Craigie had the
ball in the net but was adjudged to have wandered offside. In the 36’’ minute
the Dee finally put together a good passing move and it lead to the opening
goal, Ally REID picked up the ball 25 yards out and hammered an unstoppable shot
past Farquhar against the run of play. The title chasers were now up for it and
Farquhar had to look smart to turn another Reid piledriver onto the post and
Robertson cleared the danger. Half Time I — 0. The Dee went further ahead in 58
minutes when Sim caught the heels of Brownhill in the box and Richard SCAIFE
stepped up to make no mistake from the penalty spot. As a contest the game was
over in the 64 minute when Ross McWiLLIAM had the luck of the bounce in the box
when the ball hit his knee and somehow ended up in the net despite the efforts
of the away ‘keeper. Minutes later Farquhar made the best save of the game to
deny Foy and again in the dying minutes turned away a powerful Scaife shot to
keep the score down. Shand had Culter’s best chance of the second half when left
in space in the box but the ‘keeper was well off his line to smother the ball.

Ellon United v Cuiter: Culter at last got back to winning ways with a well
deserved three points over a young Ellon side. Only poor finishing in front of
goal prevented the away team winning by a larger margin.
McKimmie did well to charge down an attempted clearance in the minute, the ball
landed perfectly for him to clip the ball past Bowman only for Henry to race
back and boot the ball off the line. Half way though the half Hugh Robertson
outstripped the home defence and was unlucky to see his crisp shot rebound off
the post but the bail was only cleared as far as Allan YOUNGSON. The ‘keeper
could only stand and watch as the midfielder’s 20 yarder flashed into the corner
of the net for a great goal. Stott blasted high and over and Cooper headed just
wide off a McBain corner as the one way traffic continued till halftime. Half
Time: 0 — 1.
Farquhar in tne away goal was at last called into action in the 58th minute but
easily saved Reid’s 18 yard drive. Culter went straight up the park and Rattray
headed over from 8 yards off another McBain corner. Culter doubled their
advantage in the 67th minute when a long Farquhar free kick was flicked on by
the head of Hugh Robertson, both Alisop and Bowman misjudged the bounce of the
ball and left Lewis McKIMMIE the simple task of heading the ball into the empty
net. Ten minutes later and the points were in the bag, Hugh ROBERTSON latched
onto a perfect Youngson pass before calmly slotting the ball past Bowman. In a
rare effort for the home team Barclay volleyed over MacNamara’s cross. In injury
time Shand was left with a great chance to score after great play by Hugh
Robertson but scooped his shot wide.
