With both teams having had mixed fortunes in the Denis Law Tournament this week, Ross County and Aberdeen met in the final of the Consolation Cup.

The Dons came flying out of the traps and grabbed the lead after only two minutes.  Jamie Henry picked the ball up a good 25 yards out and unleashed a terrific strike, over the head of Iain McKenzie into the net.

Aberdeen had a chance to double their advantage in the 12th minute after some good work from Kalvin Orsi.  The youngster worked his way into the box from the left-hand side and fizzed a ball across the face of goal, however nobody was able to get the all-important touch.

Moments later, Ross County came with in inches of equalising.  Greg Morrison intercepted the keeper's throw-out, and before he could get back into position, tried a lob, but saw his effort bounce just wide.  Aberdeen went straight up to the other end though and had a great chance when Sam Robertson scooped his shot over the bar from close range.

The Dons were certainly on top at this point and Robertson went close again in the 19th minute, crashing a header off the crossbar. 

In the 32^nd minute Stuart Hodge showed good agility to beat his man on the edge of the box, but could only fire his shot just wide. With four minutes until the break, the Dons made it 2-0. A well worked move left Michael Jones with an easy finish at the keeper’s near post.

But Aberdeen had barely finished celebrating when County pulled a goal back, Greg Morrison getting on the end of a corner to power home a volley.

Just as they had the first, Aberdeen started the second half brightly. A brilliant touch to simultaneously control the ball and beat the defender in the box left Hodge with a good chance in the 41^st minute. But having done the hard part, Hodge blazed his shot over the bar.

Aberdeen would only have to wait another five minutes though, until they did make it three. An Orsi corner found Sam Robertson, who made no mistake with his header.

Kalvin Orsi put his name on the scoresheet in the 52^nd minute with a superb effort from wide on the left, curling over the keeper’s head into the top corner.

The 57^th minute saw a rocket of a volley from Ritchie Petrie flash just over the top. A minute later though, Chris Blackett rounded up the scoring with Aberdeen’s fifth, a textbook downward header at the back post.

Overall, a deserved victory for the Dons. County were far from disgraced, but in the end Aberdeen’s dominance on the ground but particularly in the air prevailed.

The Consolation Cup started at the Denis Law Tournament on Friday with the first semi final being ADJFA side Broomhill Juniors against SPL Aberdeen. A thriller would follow.

Many were expecting a one sided affair but Broomhill forced their opponents all the way to a penalty shoot, before the Dons finally sealed their passage into the final.

Aberdeen had a chance early on when Scott McKenna's cross was half volleyed just wide by Glen Smith. The men in red forced pressure on Broomhill again when a great ball in by Kalvin Orsi was met by Jamie Henry but he shot wide.

Following the early Dons pressure Broomhill got into the game and they dominated Aberdeen at times. Juniors had started with a 4-5-1 formation which worked in their favour which was compact and giving them opportunities on the break.

Broomhill took the lead after Jake Stephen put a short pass into James Dunbar who turned before shooting from the edge of the box which beat Craig Burns in the Aberdeen goal.

Aberdeen should have been level near half time when a great ball in from Henry found Michael Jones but he couldn't find the target.

Broomhill had the first effort of the second half when a throw-in from Stephen found Aaron Cox. Cox hit an angled shot which flew just over the bar.

Aberdeen thought they had an equaliser when an excellent cross by Glen Smith was met by Kalvin Orsi but it was chalked off for offside.

There were chances at both ends and four minutes later Callum Thomson tried his luck from 30 yards but it fizzed over the bar.

Juniors had a chance to extend their lead from a dangerous looking set piece. Clark Henderson’s free kick from 22 yards went straight at Burns.

Broomhill kept pressing Aberdeen and they had another chance to double their advantage when Gavin Emslie’s ball found forward Cox but his effort narrowly missed the target.

Aberdeen were in desperate need of a goal and their prayers were answered courtesy of Orsi. Henry managed to pick out the Dons forward who rounded Rhys Leiper and gave the Pittodrie a vital leveller.

Broomhill were then reduced to ten men after Callum Thomson was shown a straight red card for a mistimed challenge.

Henry had been the provider for Aberdeen’s goal and had a chance to seal the tie in normal time. However, his free kick sailed over the bar rather than under.

The final whistle blew and extra time passed without major incident, paving the way for a penalty shoot out. Aberdeen edged the spot kicks 5-4 with Michael Kelly, Stuart Hodge, Kalvin Orsi, Scott McKenna and Glen Smith netting. Smith scored the vital fifth kick despite a valiant effort from Leiper in the Broomhill goal.

Aberdeen progress to the Consolation Cup final where they will face Ross County. Keith are the final opponents for Broomhill Juniors, in the Consolation Cup's 3rd/4th place play-off.
