MYS BLACK STRIPES 3 FERNIESIDE 3
An excellent game with Youngstars almost hanging on for a great win before Fernieside equalised with an injury-time penalty.
It was a very blustery night and Youngstars had the wind with them in the first half - but it was Fernieside who took an early lead after a scramble in the box. For the rest of the first 25 minutes, Seth - playing in goal - never had a save to make as Youngstars created a bucket-load of chances. Unfortunately, we only scored one when Scott ran through to smash home. Scott missed a couple more, Paul and Lloyd went close and Cammy Brown smacked a powerful shot off the bar.
At 1-1, Fernieside looked favourites going into the second half with the wind behind them and took the lead when the wind held back a throw-out from second-half keeper Cammy Brown and a striker nipped in to score. However, Youngstars followed instructions to keep the ball on the ground and Paul equalised after good work by Lloyd, Callum and Seth.
We then took the lead when Seth slid a neat ball through for Callum who blasted into an empty goal after the keeper slipped. It looked like we had won but in injury time, Jack brought down a Ferniesdie player just inside the box and the away team's star player smacked in the penalty - beating the excellent Cammy Brown who had kept us in it with some great last-gasp saves.
Well done to all the boys. It's a great reflection on how much we have progressed when we are disappointed with a draw against a team we will be playing in the Edinburgh league next season.
