Buckie Thistle crash out of Aberdeenshire Shield to junior side Hermes after leading 4-0 at a windy Lochside Park
Buckie Thistle squandered a 4-0 lead to crash out of the Aberdeenshire Shield to junior side Hermes on Wednesday night.
At a wind-lashed Lochside Park in Aberdeen, Jags took an early lead through Jack MacIver.
Cohen Ramsay and Liam Harvey made it 3-0 before the half hour and when MacIver’s second put Buckie 4-0 ahead on 37 minutes, the tie looked over.
However, Hermes netted twice in quick succession before half time to half the deficit.
Things got worse for Jags when two goals in a five minute spell before the hour mark, the second a penalty kick took the match to 4-4.
Buckie then had centre back Ryan Fyffe sent off, while Hermes were also reduced to ten men before plundering an incredible winner in stoppage time.
Hermes will now visit Formartine United in the semi-finals.
