Liberton Lions 13 -v- 3 MYS Blue Stripes
MYS blue suffered their largest ever defeat in a game in which too many of our players just didnt compete. From a coaches point of view the biggest dis-appointment was that Liberton were no better individually than us they just worked better as a unit on the day.
As with the previous weeks game against Bonnyrigg we started the match well and took an early lead when a neat passing move between Matthew, Paul and Logan saw the latter slot home. We doubled our lead shortly after with Matthew again involved to fire home a square ball at the back post. Just like the week before however (and just about every other game this season) we were guilty of not taking advantage of our lead and we stopped passing the ball properly allowing Liberton to score 3 goals with some sloppy defending. Euan pulled us level before the break after a long range effort was spilled by the Bonnyrigg keeper.
After being 2 ahead and then level at half time the second half was a complete write off as far as we were concerned. Some strong words from the coach saw us begin brightly however when Liberton scored their fourth we seemed to let our heads go down despite still being in the game. It is also fair to say that our defence was all over the place at times and we shall have to work on positioning over the coming weeks. Credit must go to Liberton for scoring some cracking goals in the second half but the boys have to learn to fight for results where required as there was no way we should have lost this game by ten goals.
Matthew was chosen as MOTM by the opposing coaches after a gritty display which, had it been emulated by some of his team mates, may have resulted in a different scoreline.

Blue Stripes back to winning ways 4-10-09
MYS Blue Stripes 9 -v- 4 Bonnyrigg Rose FC
After being unlucky to lose last week the boys bounced back in fine style with their best performance of the season so far. The fact that we did it missing players and with no substitutes made it all the more satisfying.
Although we won comfortably in the end the first half showed our good and bad sides as we dominated possession to go 2-0 up before again giving away sloppy goals to go in at half time 3 a piece.
The boys took on the coaches words at half time and tightened up at the back although we were slow to start the second half, going a goal behind for the first time before getting a grip on the game. The passing and movement of our players at times was excellent and was praised by the opposing coaches. Paul Clark won the MOTM award with a tireless display up front grabbing the goals along with Craig, Matthew and David who also had a fine game helping us out.
Keep up the good work boys, glad to see that some of the work done in training was taken into the games as well.
