Match Report by David Barry

To the local football fans this game was expected to be a close match up between the two teams and they did not disappoint.

Within the first two minutes Dyce were in the oppositions box after a good counter and were awarded a penalty after a foul in the box. Ross Cochrane stepped up to take the penalty for Dyce and slotted into the bottom corner. 1-0 to Dyce.

Aberdeen came close to equalising just a few minutes later with Craig Storie hitting a volley from the edge of the box that went over the bar. Aberdeen began to have more of the possession but the Dyce defence stayed strong and were coping with the mounting pressure.

Against the run of play, Dyce went 2-0 ahead after some quick feet from Cameron Buchan played saw the ball hit across the box to Ross Cochrane who got his second of the match.

Aberdeen however kept pressing and on 25 minutes their persistence paid off. An attack down the right side left Craig Storie with some space in the box and he made use of it with a low powerful shot into the keepers far post. Both teams went looking for the next goal as both knew it would a crucial one.

Half time 2-1 Dyce.

In the opening ten minutes of the second half it looked as if Dyce would be next to score, a terrific save from Leonard Wilson and some off- target attempts was all that prevented Dyce from increasing their advantage.

It was clear to see how much this match meant to all the boys on the pitch with a lot of determination and commitment on show. Still searching for that goal to level the score line, Aberdeen came close with 5 minutes to go but good goal keeping from Kyle Donald prevented that. Dyce were able to hold to their lead and won the match.

Full time 2-1 Dyce
