Forres Mechanics v Huntly
Steve
Paterson
"In the first forty-five we played really well and everything
went in. It was one of those days but obviously in the second half
it was just a case of shutting up shop, although I did say to the
players that you have to keep going at it.
"You have to remember the opposition are hurting and they
are going to keep going in an attempt to salvage their pride and
they managed a bit of that in the second half, they wont he second
half but obviously the first half performance was something else.
"We came into the game feeling confident having played really
well at Elgin against a strong team and today has just been an extension
of that but we are in a rich vein of form.
"Campbell got two and his second strike was brilliant. He
got man of the match and his game is really starting to come on
really well. It is good having two players from midfield in Campbell
and Mackay who are both capable of scoring goals.
"Obviously I am happy to have got such a convincing victory.
I thought it would have been a tight game but it has turned out
to be a comfortable day for us and it keeps our momentum going.
"Charlie Brown is obviously a player who scores 25-30 goals
regularly in the Highland League and he had been bothered with niggling
injuries during my first wee while here but he is certainly back
now an scoring in every other game which can only be good for us.
"It has been a fine week for us, playing Lossie and getting
a good result, beating Elgin and getting into a final then winning
today to get ourselves in a good position in the league. It is just
a case now of keeping up the good work because we have got tough
game after tough game for the next five or six weeks."

"We missed important players today didn't we. It?s a massively
blow losing Taylor in the warm up but also defensively we lost one
of our main players as well and we seemed to be disorganised.
"To be beaten by one long ball you learn and get the next
one but we got beat by three today. We started quite well but we
were chasing the game for ever more. We had reasonable possession
but it wasn't good enough, it was certainly no where near good enough.
"You can get beat but if you don't give everything you have
got it is just not good enough. The second half was a wee bit better
but nowhere near as good. Forres played well but we had no cohesion
and the back four were miles apart from each other.
"To me we didn't want it enough they certainly wanted it more
than us."
