Banks O'Dee Junior manager Stuart Blackwood and Coach Martin Bavidge join Grant and Dave for another action packed Podcast this week.

They discuss the season so far as they fight it out with six games to go ahead of trips to Dyce and Hermes in the league this week.

Cup action took precedence this week as Buchanhaven Hearts came from two goals down to remain in the McLeman Cup as they look to defend their crown beating Colony Park 3-2, Stonehaven won by the same score line in midweek at Longside including a 35 yard strike from Danny Anderson who exclusively gave his thoughts afterwards as Lossiemouth United progressed with a 3-1 home win against Sunnybank, we caught up with Lossie defender Connor McKenzie after the match as Bridge Of Don Thistle went along the road and came away with a 1-0 victory at Hermes.

Cruden Bay FC joint manager Brent Smith joins Grant and Dave for a bumper episode of the podcast this week.

They discuss a tough season for the Championship club but also look ahead to a bright future on and off the pitch as well as discuss the remaining games for the club this campaign.

Both the Championship and the Premier League saw huge weeks once again.

Deveronside took advantage of Fraserburgh United not being in action to increase their lead at the top of the table while Hall Russell United's unexpected 1-0 defeat at home to Whitehills and Banchory St Ternan's 3-2 loss at Nairn St Ninian allowed Newmachar United to capitalise and move up to 3rd. Elsewhere, there were strong wins for Burghead Thistle and Stoneywood Parkvale while Westdyke won away at New Elgin and kept back to back clean sheets in the process.

It was a bumper week of Premier League action. Grant and Dave were out and about at 2 of the three midweek games and we hear interviews from Stuart Blackwood at Banks o Dee as well as Steven Watson and Jake Buirds from Hermes after both teams won 3-1 over Colony Park and Dyce respectively. Elsewhere, we review Culter's strong 5-0 win at Longside.

If the midweek action was for starters, then the main course of the weekend's action really heated the plate up!

Grant was at Stonehaven to see Martyn Rollo's team edge out reigning champions Culter 1-0 and spoke to match winner David Salmond and defender Scott Coull after the match. Elsewhere, Hermes incredible away form continued as they left it late to win by the same scoreline against Buchanhaven Hearts, handing the Peterhead team their first league defeat at home since early November. Bridge of Don Thistle kept up the pace with the leaders after a strong 4-1 win at home to Colony Park but Rothie Rovers were beaten by the same scoreline at Lossiemouth United. Dave was there for the day out, the game and a chat with Jamie Tinnock post match. Elsewhere, we review a 7 goal thriller in Keith, an incredible fightback from Maud and away wins for Longside and Banks o Dee.

We finish the show by looking ahead to next week's matches including the McLeman and Elginshire Cup Quarter Finals and some outstanding league games as well.

Sharp Attack and our medallists as always finish the show!

February is Heart Month so the North of Scotland Football League will be taking part in the Every Minute Matters campaign this weekend ran by British Heart Foundation where people get the opportunity to learn CPR by using the free online RevivR course.

All games this weekend will be designated to start a minute late to emphasis the difference between life and death.

As a result of one of our players collapsing in a friendly a few seasons ago, we have made it mandatory for all North of Scotland Football League clubs to have access to defibrillators at grounds. We would encourage people to take part in this initiative as you never know when you might need to use these skills.
