MYS BLACKS 1 BONNYRIGG ROSE 0 (MATCH ABANDONED)
After two blank weeks, things looked bleak as the rain poured and the wind gusted until late on Saturday. However, Sunday dawned bright and dry and the pitch was in great condition considering the gruesome weather of the previous week.
It was still very windy and we agreed to play 4 x 15 minutes instead of 2 x 30 as it was felt it would be unfair on one team to have to defend for the entire last 30 minutes against the wind.
Bonnyrigg played some neat football and forced a couple of corners, but failed to trouble Cammy Brown who is replacing David in goal for the time being. Connor was impressive in the first 15 (after one crazy back-heel!) and made some strong runs forward to support the attack and almost got his head on the end of a great corner by Lloyd. Callum and Jack also played well down the wings and Lloyd got stuck in as we got on top of the game. The best chance of the first 15 came when Seth blasted in a strong shot which their keeper saved well, then clawed away as it looked as if it was going to drop into the goal behind him.
In the second 15, the Bonnyrigg keeper again saved well from Lloyd and Callum, then came out to clear as Paul ran through. Youngstars took the lead when another great corner from Lloyd was forced over the line from close range by Jack. But by now, the rain and wind had blown back in and we were forced to stop the game as the rain started driving horizontally across the pitch.
There was no way we could start again as the weather blowing in was foul - so thanks to everyone who helped take down the goals and clear away in such grim conditons!
The abandonment was a real shame as it was looking like a terrific, tight game and Youngstars were playing very well.
Squad: Cammy Brown, Connor, Jason, Jack, Lloyd, Callum, Seth, Paul, David, Blair, Cameron D, Brandon.
