Wick Academy boss Tom McKenna is expecting a tougher test from Lossiemouth than the one they got last season.
Thirteen months ago, the Coasters came to Harmsworth Park and left with their tails between their legs following an 8-0 thrashing.
Richard Macadie smashed in a hat-trick for the Scorries that day, with Davie Allan and Gary Manson both bagging doubles. Marc Macgregor completed the rout, with all eight goals coming in the first half.
Lossie are back in town on Saturday but McKenna reckons they'll be eager to prove a point to Academy.
He said: "Lossiemouth will want to show us that what happened at our place last year was a one-off.
We've got to be relaxed and patient.
"We won't be underestimating them on the back of what happened before. However, if we replicate our display from the draw at Forres, we are capable of getting all three points.
"Lossiemouth will give it 100 per cent but we've got to be relaxed and patient, and if we do that then hopefully our rewards will come."
