Keith v Huntly

Martin Allan
"We are delighted, we played particularly well in the first half. We committed ourselves to going forward and continually got ourselves into good positions. We took the lead with a great goal; Darren (Still) won the ball about 25 yards from goal, played a pass, followed it into the box and finished it brilliantly so it was a 65 yard run and a good finish

From that point we pretty much dominated I thought and could have been more than one up at half time. Huntly were dangerous on the break but I thought in the first half we played as well as we could do and really defended well and created good chances.

The second half was different. Huntly came at us and put us under a lot of pressure and we just didn't pas the ball for the first 15-20 minutes we just kept giving it back to Huntly. That was down to them putting us under so much pressure but they didn't really have any clear cut chances apart from when Richie Taylor had a strike from the edge of the box that Andy saved but we got to grips with that and realistically could have been up by three or four as we had three one on ones.

Their keeper made a fantastic save from Alan Fraser but Stuart Walker and Cammy Keith should have hit target when they went through one on one. At 2-0 up we believed that was it but we hit the post an low and behold they go down the other end and get their first goal. Beyond that Huntly put us under pressure but thankfully we weathered the storm and came out with a really good victory against a good Huntly side.

I think we have been playing well for a number of weeks so it is a continuation of some good form. But for some early season problems in front of goal we would have been in a healthy position. We ended up getting no points or one point when our play deserved more but we finally kicked that habit and have managed to get our goals when we needed goals and are winning games.

Today was a huge victory as Huntly, as ever, will provide stiff opposition for anybody."

Billy Anderson
"It was a frustrating afternoon. This is our first game in a number of weeks and we never really got on top of the game as we can do. Even though we pulled a goal back late on we couldn't do enough to turn it around.

"Right at the end there was a clearance off the line and that might have given us a point but we want to be getting all three points not just one. Having another week off next Saturday won't do us any favours

"We just have to get on with things. There is a long way to go and the players showed last year that they are capable of putting together a winning run and to be honest I think we deserve to have a lot more points than we have on the board just now, but that is football."
