00:00Absolutely delighted. Newly formed team, had to put a whole squad together. Realistically
00:08we thought we'd just be competitive and give it a bash. The guys have just been absolutely
00:13amazing. There's nearly an awful lot between the two teams as you've seen over the season.
00:18Aberlour have been quite unlucky and they played well. They had us on the back foot
00:24quite a bit but I think we defended really well. The goalkeeper only had one or two good
00:28saves. We're always a threat going in behind the other way. It's a tough one for them I
00:35suppose but you take it. That really solid defence has been a big secret of your season
00:39hasn't it? They've not given a lot of goals away this season have they? No, the defence
00:43and goalkeeper. The whole team's defended really well from the front. They're pressing
00:47but the defence have been absolutely brilliant. They've chipped in with double figures goals
00:53they keep telling me. That's a massive help as well. The goal itself was a really well
01:00worked goal wasn't it and Ross took it beautifully. I spoke about that before the game. When it
01:07comes to fruition you're absolutely delighted. The guys are out there doing the actual job
01:16so it's brilliant to watch. So that's two parts of the treble done in your first welfare
01:21season. Two weeks time is the Tudnian Cup final and it's a bit of a Bermshire Coast
01:26rivalry against Calinet at Burra Briggs. That's going to be one to look forward to. Absolutely
01:30and they'll be absolutely up for it. It's going to be a great game and Burra Briggs
01:35are a brilliant pitch. I've said to them here and Burra Briggs, you've got no excuses.
01:40Brilliant pitch to play on. Can I go out and do it? It's up to the guys now to finish off
01:46the season high. As you can see the fighting spirit in that. They won the league 3-0 down
01:51at half time. To pull it back and win 4-3 that just shows you. Ross you are the cup
01:56final hero. How does it feel to score the winning goal in this match? It feels really
01:59good. Could have been a bit easier but we got there in the end so double me. You've
02:05been a bit of a thorn in Aberlour's side this season. You scored the winning goal against
02:09them that won the league really and you've now scored the goal that's won the cup. It's
02:12been a great season for you. It has. It's been really good. I've really enjoyed it.
02:16Great bunch of lads. Top scorer in the team as well I think. It's a team game. Of course
02:22it is. They'll top you through the goal. It was a really well worked move wasn't it? I
02:26was seeing Jordy. Jordy was at wide. I was at a bit of space in the box so I thought
02:31I'd have to chance it and then it looked like it fell to me. I swerved it away so you started
02:35and finished the move didn't you? It was a tough game after that. A really tough game.
02:40They're a really good side as well. I'd say it could have been either of us that won the
02:44league. Obviously you saw what happened. But I know we got there in the end frankly. You
02:48scored the winning goal for the title. You've won the winning goal in the cup final and
02:52you've got one more cup final to go. That treble is a big thing for Bucky Rovers. It's
02:56not going to be another. It's going to be another nazy game. We've got to prepare right.
03:00A bit of a derby game against Catlin? They'll be up for it. Have you got any pals in the
03:04Catlin team? Aye I do. It'll be a bit tasty. It will be indeed. And the Butterbrigs, have
03:08you ever played there before? Yeah, big hits. I'll feel it after the game. I'm sure you'll
03:13get on fine. Aye.
