From what I saw of Brora last year, and they've reinforced in the summer, you could be right, but if Fraserburgh develop some consistency I could see them two battling it out. Think only Formartine could be another threat. Wonder if Brora have changed their thoughts about promotion? Let's hope so WB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northboy Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Four games in and the league table has a familiar look. Brora, Fraserburgh and Formartine setting the early pace (although Formartine have lost one it was to Fraserburgh). Locos tucking in just off the leaders as usual. Despite the enthusiasm Fort William remain bottom and pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Nairn County are still on maximum points having played one less than the leaders. Doubt it will last though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big game for all these teams if they want to stay in touch with Brora and Fraserburgh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brora should have the legs to do the season without much fuss. They look like a right shower as well, which always helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about Brora looking like favourites based on early form (no knowledge to say whether or not they are a shower). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Bit of a shocker. Put a small each way outright bet on Nairn last week at 33/1. Doubt I'll see a return on it but the odds will probably tumble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resk Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Is this the general HL season 19/20 thread then? I took in Lossie V Locos today and ticked off a new ground in the process. Enjoyed a decent pint of T in the social club before the game, and the three drummers from the Garioch appeared to have enjoyed their journey north as well. I expected an easy away win but was pleasantly surprised by how well Lossie battled to get to half time at 0-0. Locos pushed their full backs on in the second half though, and got a couple of quick goals to settle it. Although, I'm still not convinced the scrappy second goal actually crossed the line... MOTM for me was Lossie's number 8 in centre midfield. A class act in a tough match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Shaker Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Lossie’s improvement is evident to those in attendance, but still causing folk to ask if we’re still shite as results continue to go against us, but the plan remains sound and we’ll keep on keeping on for the time being. Locos had a plan B for a change, which was handy as Gauld had a rare off day. Still don’t look like contenders tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I liked the look of Fraserburgh last season at Clach. It's not surprising to see them make a strong start. With Cove out of the picture and Brora basically being capable of winning 5-0 or losing 5-0 every week, the Broch may be worth a wee punt for the title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they're in the North Cup semi final after knocking out the Ross County kids. My guess would be Lossie but they're said to be improving. It's worth remembering Fort are still pointless though. Edited August 27, 2019 by welshbairn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonsers Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Tough league Fraserburgh, Brora, Inverurie, Formartine all good sides with a chance of winning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Clach looked seriously poor at times against Wick but still could easily have nabbed a point. Huntly haven't started well either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Buckie leapfrog into the top 4 by beating Formartine 1-0 today. Dark horse? Nairn got pummeled 5-1 by Locos. Only Fraserburgh with maximum points. Edited August 31, 2019 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
