Home v North
Lothian Buses Cup
Line up –Mark,Jamie
T,Kevin,Chris G,Connor,Jamie C,Chris H,Lewis S,Harry,Jason,Lewis R,
On a wet but perfect morning
for football we welcomed
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
