Fine win in tough conditions 25-10-08

MYS Blue Stripes 7 -v- 2 Longniddry Villa

This game was played in terrible conditions with the wind so strong that the ball would not stay on the centre spot for the kick off's! Both teams deserve credit for trying to play any sort of proper football and our boys in particular put in a terrific second half performance especially considering the conditions.

MYS started with the wind at their backs but really struggled to turn this into any sort of advantage as it was all too easy for passes to be over hit and out of the park. Despite this we managed to get ourselves 2-0 ahead at half time. Rather than finding themselves under pressure playing into the wind in the second half the boys started to play good passing football and actually played much better into the wind, keeping the ball down and working hard for each other. The second half saw us run out worthy winners with both some fine goals and strong defending. Ross "the cat" McGuire also pulled off a fantastic flying save near the end despite having had very little to do in the match before this, the sign of a good 'keeper!

Well done boys!

Goals came from Blair, Aarran C, Euan and Josh.
