SEVEN-UP FOR YOUNGSTARS

LEITH ATHLETIC WHITES 0 MYS BLACKS 7

A great week ended with our third win in a row, as a depleted Youngstars squad performed superbly all over the pitch to record an emphatic victory.

Jack was away and Seth still injured - and Brandon missed out too after gashing his face in a bad fall. Cameron Sharp came in for his first game and played his part in a great all-round team display.

We took an early lead when Callum won possesion and slipped the ball to Scott, who drove in a great low shot which went in off the post. Lloyd made it two with a powerful header from Scott's corner and we were soon 3-0 up when Scott scored a carbon copy of his first goal, into the same corner off the same post.

Cammy Brown organised well from the back, with Jason and Connor allowing the Leith strikers few opportunities to break through with some no-nonsense tackling.

Lloyd came close a couple more times from corners and Callum and David also went close before Scott slid in a third for a brilliant hat-trick.

It was 4-0 at half-time but we didn't let up and continued the hard work of the first half. Blair was unlucky when he stumbled on the hard pitch and pulled his shot wide, but it wasn't long before Lloyd and Scott combined beautifully for Lloyd to make it 5-0.

There was some excellent link-up play across the pitch, with the ball being brought out well from the back. This led to another good goal as Scott put in a lovely cross from the right for David to score at the near post to cap another excellent performance.

Lloyd completed the scoring - and his hat-trick - with another excellent header and Cammy Brown ensured we kept another clean sheet with a fantastic double save near the end as Leith came back into the match.

Right at the end of the game, our boys were still chasing back and putting everything into the tackles. Their attitude over the last few games - starting in the Spartans match - has been first-class and we are starting to reap the rewards. Well done, guys!

Although Scott scored three ansd set up the other four goals, Callum was given the man of the match award for an excellent, tough-tackling display.
