U18s draw at Buckie

St. Duthus Under 18s picked up their first point of the Highland League North 2021-22 season thanks to a good performance away to Buckie Thistle in September.

Cian Martin gave the Young Saints the lead after 23 minutes, before Buckie equalised 12 minutes later. It was 1-1 at the break and the scoring kicked into action after the restart.

Buckie took the lead on the hour mark and a penalty award just two minutes later saw them extend their lead to 3-1.

This could have easily left Saints in disarray but they showed great resilience to pull a goal back through Johnie Beattie just 9 minutes later.

Buckie kept the pressure on by going 4-2 ahead on 75 minutes, but just two minutes later Saints kept the fight going with a goal from Ben Loy.

The game continued into injury time and the comeback was completed on 92 minutes when St. Duthus substitute Ross McDermid found the net to make it 4-4.

A memorable outing and a good result at a difficult away venue.

K Ross, Loy, C Mackenzie, Ubych, Spence, Rooney, Martin, A Mackenzie, Beattie, Nicol, H Mackenzie
