Buckie played the last 5 minutes of the game with only 10 men, but managed to scrape past the post today with a 1-0 win over the Scorries and in doing so retained their top spot in the league table.

The first chance of the game came in 9 minutes when David MacRae headed a crossed ball straight into the arms of Alan Bokas. 5 minutes later Donnie Munro had a similar chance that he too headed over the top of the cross-bar.

Academy's first chance came with 18 minutes on the clock. Macadie and Gunn combined well on the left for Gunn to cut the ball back to Manson on the edge of the box but he sent his shot wide of the target.

In a fairly even first half both teams had further sniffs at goal as the half time whistle approached, David Angus stole the ball from Manson inside the Buckie half and drove forward before unleashing a powerful right foot shot that was deflected for a corner. From the corner kick for the second time in the half Donnie Munro got his head to the ball but again header over the top of Bokas's cross-bar.

Academy then threatened when Farquhar played a long ball to Macadie who slid David Allan into the box bit his shot was blocked by keeper Strong. The ball was half cleared by the Buckie defence and Farquhar played the ball back into the mix for Macadie but he blazed a half-volley from 10 yards out over the top of the Buckie  goal.

The last chance of the half also fell to Academy when Sinclair drove down the right wing and crossed to Macade at the edge of the box but he again fired his shot over the top of the target.
