EDINBURGH CITY 6 MYS BLACK STRIPES 5
Another close game where we were squeezed out - this time by a very attacking team who committed large numbers of players forward at great speed. They took an early lead but Jack claimed a quick equaliser and we went ahead when Jack's cross was deflected past his own keeper by an unlucky City defender.
Unfortunately, the home team responded straight away and we went in at half-time at 2-2. We could have been 3-2 up but Blair's shot was well-saved by their keeper after a great team move.
Cammy Brown had started in goal but was injured when he bruised his ribs after falling heavily as City scored their first. David deputised for the rest of the first half, then Callum went in for the second after a hard-working shift in left midfield.
Connor and Jason were working hard at the back but were often overcome by waves of attackers. One such move saw one of the home strikers slip through to finish nicely to put them 3-2 up. We then had a classic Youngstars kamikaze spell when we conceded two crazy goals to leave us struggling at 5-2 down.
However, we showed magnificent character and Blair brought us back into the game at 5-3 when he slipped home neatly after a great pass from Lloyd. We lost another silly goal to go 6-3 down but then played some brilliant attacking football to almost snatch a result.
Jack put in a brilliant cross for Scott to stab home to make it 6-4, then Scott lifted a brilliant cross to the back post for Lloyd to volley home - a deserved goal after an amazing all-action performance. Scott hit the bar after winning the ball with a fantastic slide tackle, and the home keeper made a couple of great saves, but City held on to the 6-5 lead, However, we should take great credit in producing some of our best attacking football of the season against a good quality side.
Squad: Cammy Brown, Connor, Jason, Jack, Lloyd, Callum, Scott, David, Blair, Brandon
