KDM Evolution Time

Aberdeen 'B' are the visitors on Tuesday night in the Cup of little interest in the early stages for many. I'm sure it will pick up in the latter stages, but with another five games to go before the knockout stages, that's a while away yet. Kick off is 7:45pm on Tuesday 26th August at the Caledonian SarensPSG Stadium. Inverness beat Elgin City 1-4 in their first game and the Young Dons lost 4-2 at Peterhead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was our fairly strong squad at Borough Briggs with Remi Savage, Paul Allan, Mathew Strachan, Jordan Alonge, Robbie Thompson and Alfie Bavidge all regular first XI performers and Chanka Zimba now a regular in the squad.

There was no scoring at the interval, but goals from Alfie Bavidge and Robbie Thompson put us in the driving seat. A Paul Allan penalty ended the contest although Elgin pulled one back with a spectacular strike from Mark Gallagher before another penalty was scored by Bavidge in time added on.

The new Challenge Cup format has been heavily criticised by managers with our own Scott Kellacher adding his own thoughts about the amount of additional games this can add to the squads season. It's a minimum of at least five extra games before the round of 32 knock out even begins. The end game is still light years away.

Alfie Stewart was cup-tied, and apparently unavailable for both sides and Billy confirmed in video below Alfie Bavidge will not be permitted to play either with Aberdeen the parent club.
