Wick Academy F.C.

Paul, are you going to tell us about a couple of other games?

Yeah, every local is keeping up their pursuit with a fine 2-0 win against Wick Academy at Harlow Park.

Two terrific goals from Cole Anderson, has to be said, that's him up to.

Nine for the season now.

Where's the clip?

Anyway, let's run through the scores across the Breeding Highland League and the Scottish Cup at the weekend.

In the Highland League, it was Brora Rangers 4, Lossiemouth 2, Clatton Curran 3, Strathspey Thistle 1, Huntly 4, Nairn County 0, Invergordon 2, Forest Mechanics 4, Inverurie Locos 2, Wick Academy 0, Rothis 0, Keith 3, Turf United 1, Fraserborough 1.

In those rearranged Scottish Cup second round ties involving Highland League sides, it was Cumberland Colts 3, Bank City 1 and Johnston Borough 1 for Martin United 0.

They'll be delighted, Forrest, in a couple of counts.

One, being the cup holders, I'm sure they're obviously desperate to try and retain it if they can and that's them through to the semi-final now tie against either Ross County or Wick Academy to come.

Another reason I'd imagine they're probably delighted is because So far this season, Lossie Mouth have been a wee bit of a bogey team for them, beating McGrath Park in the Highland League and also one at Mosset Park in the R. Davidson Bunkery Highland League Cup.

So to actually reverse that trend and come through on Saturday was a good result for the Cancans and Sean McCarthy.

Yeah, not much happened.

Not much happened at the Hawks.

Turf United 3, Wick Academy 3.

Where do I start here? Right, Mackenzie Taylor gets a double for Turf.

So that's the next challenge for them.

The penalty, I think, was one that was a fair bit of debate about, but I think initially the feeling was it was... outside the box and it maybe wasn't that view was maybe supported by once it refereed Joanna Brady giving it cold on since it looked to play a short free kick but I think when I've watched it I think it's part of the challenge when Callum Duncan's on the line if it's on the line it's in the box it's not 100% conclusive but it looks that way to me the only thing I would say is I'm not necessarily convinced you know whether it was you know whether there was enough eye like it looked kind of shoulder to shoulder but I mean Joanna Brady was right there and she's given it so you move on but I know with Rothes maybe feeling at the moment that these maybe 50-50 calls when they're struggling seem to the suit feel like more more of them are maybe going against them than they're due and in terms of the other things at the top end of the table like for martin and third place for martin lost 2-1 to wick academy at harmsworth park which was disappointing for them and you know they passed up the chance to sort of move a bit bit closer to brora the end of their 11-match unbeaten run in the league which went back to the 5th of august And really, I think they were just disappointed that when they had their spells in the ascendancy and when they created good chances, they didn't take them.

Like they were 1-0 up through Rory McAllister, but they weren't able to add to that lead.

And Wic came back with Graham McNabb and then Ewan Kennedy scoring in the closing stages.

Okay, let's go back through then the weekend results in the Breeding Highland League.

We'll just do the Friday game and Saturday games as a one-er.

So, it's Banks at B4, Clarton Curran 0, Bucky Thistle 2, Devon Vale 3, Forrest Mechanics 2, Huntley 2, Fraserburgh 1, Royal Rangers 1, Keith 6, Invergordon 4, Neon County 2, Tariff United 1, Rosswich 1, Inverurie Locals 3, Strathspey Thistle 2, Gloucestershire Mouth 2 and Wick Academy 2 for Markham United 1.

Let's have a look at the latest Reading Highland Lea standings after the weekend.

But I do think they still got enough experience and enough quality, I would say, wick to pick up results.

Okay then, just to recap, Saturday's results in the Breedon Highland League were Brewer Rangers 2, Nairn County 1, Quack the Cuddin 3, Bucky Thistle 0, Devon Vale 2, Wick Academy 1, Fraserborough 2, Strathspey Thistle 2, Huntley 2, Keith 0, Invergordon 2, Rothes 0, Inverurie 0 for Martin United 2, Lossamouth 0, Banksidee 6 and Turriff United 2, Forest Mechanics 0.

Let's have a look at the latest Breeden

Highland League standings.

So they've been, I'm sure they've been gutted, not just to go out, but the manner of how they played and to be beaten 4-0.

And then the other, the last game to mention was Wick Academy losing 3-0 away to Tayport.

And really, Wettkank from being in the game at 0-0 after half an hour left just gave themselves too much to do by losing two frankly abysmal goals really like preventable just sort of defensive mistakes mix-ups cost them 2-0 down and they were never really able to recover from that so that was frustrating for the The score is clearly, and there's a few, that's the teams that were knocked out, and certainly some of us, like, you know, well beaten but some as well a few disappointments or hard luck stories or frustrating stories within there as well it's a shame and you you pipped me in the predictions last week as well you said we'd get seven three so why are

you getting your four in early I

Civil Service Strollers 0 for Martin United 2.

Devonvale 2, Troon 3, Forest 0, University of Stirling 1, Keith 2, Stonehaven 1, Kirkintilloch Robroy 1, Banksidee 1, after extra time Banksidee 1, 9-8 on penalties, Lochie United 3, Inverurie Locos 2, Musselburgh Athletic 2, Lossiemouth 1, Nairn 0, Gretna 2008 1, Rothes 0, Brora Rangers 9, Strathspey Thistle 3, Dalbeattie Star 2, Tayport 3, Wick Academy 0, and Threave Rovers 3, Invergordon 2, and finally, Trenent Juniors 3, Turriff United 1.
