BELLSLEA BULLETIN 19 What a month… Not a lot of games played but plenty of drama! When Steven Naismith pulled out ball number 16, Fraserburgh to play Rangers at Ibrox, I was in a bit of shock.

Again, the big man didn’t disappoint when Hayser walked in fashionably late into the taxi with some nutritious meals for us all! Top man Bryan! Weather (and Storm Bert) caused havoc with the schedule and we only managed to play three games. We trained in some horrendous conditions but I’m pleased to say there were very few gripes from the squad. We did get to play some football in November but it didn’t start as well as we would have liked when making the journey to play Strathspey. It had been noted that it had been some time since we have ‘enjoyed’ a long journey home and that was unfortunately to continue having drawn 2-2. Strathspey were definitely much improved from last season, but it was a hard one for us to
