Recap

GPH Builders Merchants Aberdeenshire League, Keith v Fraserburgh, Monday 24th October 2022

Callum Kelly had the Broch’s first attempt at goal on 9 minutes which went wide. Nathan McKeown then tested Paul Leask with an effort on 20 minutes which the veteran keeper did well to save. Three minutes later Flynn McKay saw a shot tipped away by Matthew Cook in the Keith goal.

After McKay and Jake Garden were booked in quick succession, Logan Watt saw a free kick deflected wide. Ethan Sutherland replaced the injured Ricky Milne on 41 minutes and almost scored immediately nodding over Zane Laird’s cross. A minute later the Broch did take the lead when Laird raced onto a short backpass to round Cook and score.

Half Time: Keith 0 Fraserburgh 1

Laird went close again on 48 minutes, this time Cook did well to save. The Keith keeper could do nothing on 56 minutes however when Laird’s thunderous effort crashed in off the keeper’s hands. Both team made substitutions before Laird went close again taking a pass from Jamie Maclellan in stride before seeing his net bound shot deflected wide.

Watt and Sutherland were both booked as the game ebbed and flowed. Liam Duncan went close for the home side with a free kick on 75 minutes and two minutes later he converted a penalty after Leask had fouled inside the penalty area. Duncan went close again on 86 minutes but Leask saved comfortably and Cory Booth had the final chance for an equaliser but pulled his shot wide on 87 minutes.
