(11/11/2023 – BREEDON HIGHLAND LEAGUE, GRANT PARK, LOSSIEMOUTH)
The month of November begins – hopefully, this time – with a home game against Keith, but only if Mother Nature gives her approval.
LEAGUE FORM (MOST RECENT RESULT FIRST)…
LOSSIEMOUTH – WWLLDD, GF 7, GA 7; LEAGUE POSITION – 12th
Lossiemouth came through October unscathed, picking up valuable points from their wins against Wick Academy and Strathspey Thistle, the latter seeing the Coasters rattling in three goals in eight minutes to land all three points at Seafield Park. Last weekend, Lossie were meant to be at Buckie Thistle but heavy rain in the build-up to Saturday saw the game postponed early in the day. Lossie are up to twelfth in the table but the way the season has gone so far means few sides have played a similar number of games, meaning judging anyone on league position is something of a gamble.
KEITH – LDLLLW, GF 9, GA 12; LEAGUE POSITION – 15th
Keith are enduring a mixed season so far, with positive results few and far between. The Maroons have landed just five points from their eight league games so far this season, with a penalty shootout victory over Buckie in the Highland League Cup coming in the middle. Keith haven’t kicked a ball since the middle of last month, when they lost to Huntly in the Aberdeenshire Shield, and their last outing on league duty saw them lose by the odd goal in five at Nairn in the first week of October.

BACK IN THE DAY…
03/01/2011 – Lossiemouth 3-0 Keith – Match report
With Cammy Keith in the side, the Maroons were confident of winning most games and trips to Grant Park seemed to bring out the best in Keith, with the Shire side winning on all but two trips to the Bernagow between 2004 and 2015. In 2010, the sides played out a Desmond, and in the opening days of 2011 Lossie went one better and trounced the Maroons. Nikki Smith, Ross Archibald and a Stuart Walker own goal got the year off to the best possible start.
TOP SCORERS…
James Brownie has found the net four times for Keith this season, while Jordan Cooper has scored three times for the Maroons. Lossie’s top scorers are Ross Morrison and Dean Stewart (both 4), with the Coasters running at just under a goal a game so far this season. Neither side has proven prolific in front of goal this season, with just 20 league goals between the two of them across 18 games so far.
MATCH OFFICIALS…
Lewis Brown has the whistle, and is accompanied by Kevin Whyte and Greg Hutton on semaphore duties. Brown last took charge of a Lossie game when the Coasters were visiting Banks O’ Dee in September, with the hosts missing a penalty as Lossie left with a point.
