Founded in 1917, Brechin Victoria are part of the Scottish Junior FA and were inaugural members of the Midlands League when it was established in 2021.
Tonight was an entertaining encounter but the visitors from Dundee will be wondering how this one got away. They were far the better team but somehow found themselves 2-0 down, Kieran Longmuir (18) and Mitchell Smith (35) scoring for The Vics. Classic counter attacking play at it's best.
Violet did get it back to 2-2 courtesy to two penalty kicks, both converted by A.Lonrente (37) and A.Kelly (67) respectively before Brechin went on to grab a winner when Murray Smith (78) prodded home after being left unmarked in the six yard box from a corner. It's a funny old game.
For me that was the second night in succession that the homesters had won 3-2 despite the visitors scoring two penalties (click here).
Speaking to The Vics chairman pre-match and it seems there is a possibility they may be going off to groundshare at Glebe Park once the new 4G pitch is installed. Ironically Brechin City played on the adjacent Nursery Park before moving to Glebe Park in 1923.
Should the move materialise, I'd definitely put this wonderful wee ground on your "to do" list before it does happen...
