CULTER 1 BUCKIE THISTLE 2

The Jags travelled to Crombie Park, Culter for this pre-season friendly match and won with second half goals from winger Tony Low (pictured).

 Buckie were well represented with a healthy bus load of supporters in attendance.

The Jags should have opened the scoring twice in the first half but on both occasions Darren Strong who played in goal for Culter denied Craig MacMillan.

The home side which fielded several ex-highland league players opened the scoring when a cross from the right by ex-Cove player John Brown was headed home by Martin Shaw.

Buckie's Tony Low then hit the post with a curling shot, Stephen Bruce then blazed over the rebound from six yards.  Craig MacMillan then hit the bar from a cut back by Mike Macdonald as the Jags increased the pressure.

Buckie started the second half brightly and equalised in 51 minutes when good work by Macdonald and Bruce saw the ball being moved to Tony Low who drove it home at the back post.

The Jags were now in full flow and created attack after attack producing several great saves from Darren Strong.

The winning goal came when Stephen Bruce again fed Low who drove the ball into the net via the post.

Several substitutions were introduced during the second half all who played well and the Jags will be pleased with a good all-round performance and win.
