MUSSELBURGH WINDSOR 3 MYS BLACKS 1, 24-02-2008
A disappointing result with the boys looking a touch jaded after a hard work out yesterday - but another game where things didn't really go our way.
The first of 2 x 25-minute periods was evenly contested, with Youngstars coming close three times. Aaron O'Donnell, guesting in defence, almost scored from a corner by Seth with a great twisting header, then Dylan (our second guest) put Seth through with a smart throw-in, but the keeper was down quickly to smother. Lloyd then came very close when the goalie parried his shot and the ball looped up and onto the post - about the 200th time Lloyd has hit the post or bar this season!
Windsor also had a few chances and took the lead just before half-time when a long clearance beat the defence and their striker thumped a brilliant left-foot shot high into the net.
In the second half, Youngstars struggled to close the Windsor players down. The home team were making it very hard for us to get forward by harrying and hassling all over the pitch and looked hungrier for the ball. They went 2-0 up with another excellent finish after we failed to clear on the edge of our box. It was 3-0 soon afterwards, following more sloppy defending, but Youngstars the produced their best spell of the match. Paul pulled one back after some lovely inter-passing, then almost added a second when his shot was saved and Lloyd's goalbound rebound was blocked. We pushed hard in the last five minutes but had left it too late. To be fair, it could have been more as David made two or three excellent saves.
Team: David, Connor, Aaron O, Jack, Dylan, Lloyd, Jason, Seth, Paul
