On a wet but perfect morning for football we welcomed North Merchiston , whom we had played a few weeks earlier in different Cup.

The fact North Merchiston play in Division 5 as we found previously had little to do with the way they played the match, as from the  start to the finish they always tried to play football in a hard but fair manner which was very refreshing to see and their players and coaches are to be complimented on their performance .

The match began with Hutchie pushing forward for the opener our visitors goal seemed to have a charmed life with shots flashing wide and some great saves ( which continued throughout the match) keeping it scoreless but it was only a matter of time before the deadlock was broken. Lewis R controlled the ball well in the box and superbly volleyed home 1,Jamie C then broke down the wing and his pinpoint shot found the corner of the net 2,Lewis R  was looking for more and tucked away another 3, as the ball broke out from a corner Kevin slammed it home 4, Connor made a good run and his long range shot sailed over the keeper 5, Jason then broke into the box and flashed home high into the net 6, A cross/shot from Connor made it 7.

Half time 7-0

Second half was more of the same with our visitors pinned in their own half, and almost straight away Kevin drove in another at the near post 8,Lewis R decided to join in 9,Kevin then slammed another into the roof of the net 10,Connor fired another great long range shot high into the net 11,Jamie C then thundered a close range shot in 12,Kevin fired another long range shot in 13 and to finish the scoring Lewis R went round the keeper to make it 14

Full Time 14-0 , strangely enough the same score as last time

 

Well done to all the lads from both teams for a good game of football

 

Let’s keep it going lads
