This was played at the neutral venue of Alford Community Campus, around twenty miles west of Aberdeen bypass. It’s a caged pitch with no designated spectator area, but there was no problem watching from inside the fence, although this was limited to just one side of the pitch, but a handful chose to watch from the grass bank alongside, which gave a relatively unobstructed view.

In the end, the Huntly youngsters were totally overran by their North of Scotland League Championship Division opposition, having been well in the game for the first twenty minutes or so. Stoneywood Parkvale opened the scoring with a far post header after twenty six minutes. Five minutes later they added a second, volleying in off the far post, before making it 0-3 before halftime. Huntly hit the post early in the second half, but minutes later conceded a fourth, when a long throw was headed in from six yards. The visitors totally overran them in the late stages, adding two more goals, either side of a curling shot from the angle of the box that hit the post. Huntly did get a consolation with six minutes left, with a 25 yarder that dipped over the ‘keeper, but within a minute the visitors broke away down the right and finished through the ‘keeper’s legs into the far corner to make it 1-7.
