A COMFORTABLE WIN

MYS Black Stripes 16 – 0 Tranent Juniors

Another comfortable game for the team this weekend, with an early goal helping to boost the boys’ confidence. Dylan hit a great shot from outside the box, which hit the post and Calum was on hand to slot the ball into the net from the rebound. Dylan then scored a great goal himself, followed by one from Harvey and another from Calum. An unfortunate own goal gave the team a 5 goal lead, before Lennon finished off the scoring in the first 15 minutes with a smashing shot from just outside the box.

In the second 15 minute spell, there was some great passing in particular between Josh, Jason and Lennon. This resulted in Josh scoring a hat-trick, with Jason and Lennon bagging a goal each. Another great pass from Jason found Sam on his own in the box, and he calmly stroked it past the keeper. At this stage, the Youngstar’s defence was under very little pressure, with Mark managing to sweep up any threat from Tranent that came his way.

The team changed things around in the final 15 minutes, with Innes talking a shot in goals and Kyle playing as a striker. This worked well, with Innes saving a couple of straightforward shots, and Kyle taking his opportunity with a goal at the other end. Morgan was pushed into midfield and, having made some excellent runs into the box, was rewarded with a couple of goals. Calum managed to complete his hat-trick and the team ended up with 16 goals for the second week in a row.
