Buckie battle back to scupper Lossie

BUCKIETHISTLE 3 LOSSIEMOUTH 1

Buckie boss Graeme Stewart hailed his team for battling back for the second game in a row to secure a last-minute victory against unlucky bottom-of-the-table Lossiemouth at Victoria Park.

In very windy conditions the Jags fell behind to an early Ryan Sewell strike but equalised thanks to a penalty from Sam Urquhart, before scoring two late goals in the second half through substitute Steven Ross and Lewis MacKinnon to take all three points.

Stewart said: “The wind was definitely a leveller. Lossie played very well. I was impressed with their workrate and their organisation and we didn’t play well, so a combination of those

“Last season we’d have got beat or drew that game”

things meant we struggled.

“Good teams win when they play bad, so that is probably the biggest positive I can take out of it.

“Mentality-wise that is us coming from behind against Turriff, Forres and again today and getting results so we are showing we have a decent mentality.

“Last season we would have got beat or drew that game so in terms of this team’s development, we are at a better level than last year.”

Lossie assistant boss Ian Campbell was disappointed his side left without a share of the spoils.

He said: “The boys gave everything but we never seem to get a lucky break. We’ve come off the pitch so many times to managers saying you boys deserved something but we are bottom of the league.”
