We Are The Champions Continued

Have to give much respect to the guys from Grampian Police who organised saturday's finals. They really went out of their way to make it a special day for all the boys involved.

The teams had to line up in the tunnel before the match before being led onto the pitch by a piper, there were p.a. announcements of the teams and scores, and at the end of the matches the medals and trophies were handed out at the back of the stand.

As I said in the previous post we fell 3-1 behind which was a shame as we were playing all the football and at one point forced about 12 corners in a row. The opposition had a great young lad playing up front for them, he was fast, could move the ball well and could finish, and their tactic of choice was to hoof the ball up to him and hit us on the break.

Once we got into the second half our boys managed to get a grip on him and snuff out the threat, meanwhile we were passing the ball well and creating, and taking, a fair few chances.

It was a close fought game right to the end and the final whistle was met with a mixture of euphoria and relief. Our boys were over the moon to have won but it was a shame to see some of the opposing players reduced to tears.

Still, not too bad winning a trophy at the end of our first season. I am sure that this will give the team a bit of confidence going into the new season.

I have cobbled together a fairly amateurish video memento of the day. I have only one thing to say about the mistimed tackle half way through the action - that's my boy!
