From the Captain

Aberdeenshire Captain, Frazer Forman, said: “ I was nervous to say the least but we’ve been getting off to slow starts all season really so I always had faith in the boys to come through because it’s a good bunch of boys we’ve got this season and I’m just delighted all round.

“We didn’t know anything about Dundee at all to be honest, we just didn’t want the occasion to get to us and I think the boys came here and did a good job.

“I think it’s the greatest season in our history – we won the regional and then we won the game, that was always the goal, we did that in great style and what a way to cap off a season to win here at BT Murrayfield in this great stadium.”

“I think it’s the greatest season in our history – we won the regional and then we won the game, that was always the goal, we did that in great style”
