Huntly 2 - 1 Aberdeen

It was, however, in the knockout cup competitions that the Pittodrie reserves suffered their keenest disappointments after promising early-round results.
Following on the under-18s extra-time defeat against Dundee United in the quarter-final of the BP Youth Cup, and a 1-0 dismissal by Rangers in the semi-final of the Reserve League Cup, the last chance of a trophy for the Pittodrie board room disappeared last Saturday when the young Dons were beaten 2-1 by Huntly in the final of the Gray & Adams Aberdeenshire Cup at Christie Park.
As the side who showed the greater determination in adverse playing conditions, the Highland League outfit deserved their success which avenged the 1-0 defeat they sustained in last season's final at Pittodrie.
Playing up the slope and against the wind, Aberdeen took a first-half lead through Hans Gillhaus, but defensive lapses allowed Huntly to score twice in a five-minute spell in the second half, during which Aberdeen failed to take a number of scoring chances.
For Neil Cooper, the most encouraging feature of the past season has been the progress made by several of the young first-season players, who probably have had more exposure than would normally be the case. Bringing on these youngsters is, after all, one of the prime functions of reserve football and the experience they have gained this season should stand them in good stead next season.
