KYLE HAS GREAT GAME IN ATTACK

MYS Black Stripes 11 – 1 Longniddry Villa (27Oct07)

Another good performance from the Youngstars today, with a second victory against Longniddry this season. Only one goal scored in the first 15 minute spell, after some good defending from Innes who won the ball and passed to Calum. Calum looked up and spotted Dylan wide on the left and fired the ball to him. Dylan then charged down the wing, cut inside and blasted the ball past the keeper. Harvey played in defence for this first quarter and linked well with Sam on the right many times, with both kids causing problems for Longniddry.

In the second quarter, the Youngstars scored a further five goals. For the first of these, Lennon played a short corner to Jason who crossed the ball into Calum in the box. His first shot was blocked by the keeper, but he was alert enough to win the rebound and hammered the ball into the net. Calum was involved again as he won the ball just outside the Longniddry penalty area, and passed it through to Jason who spotted the keeper out of position and simply passed it into the goals. For the next goal, Jason made a great pass through to Lennon who was unmarked and calmly stroked the ball into the net. Jason again set up the next goal after winning the ball in midfield and playing a fantastic through pass to Calum who slotted it under the keeper. The team’s sixth goal came from Jason, with some great dribbling on the right hand side before a smashing shot past the keeper.

Longniddry played their strongest team in the third quarter and managed to get a goal back, whilst keeping the Youngstars out. This was not for lack of trying, with some great play from Josh throughout and he was unfortunate not to get on the scoresheet with a couple of good efforts.

Some great defending from Morgan and Mark in the final quarter helped avoid any more Longniddry goals, and Innes had a comfortable time in goals. Kyle was given a run-out in attack and did very well, quickly scoring a good goal after dribbling round a defender and smashing the ball off another defender into the net. Dylan then got his second of the game by dribbling past four defenders and smashing the ball high into the goals past the helpless keeper. Kyle made a real nuisance of himself in the Longniddry box and managed to win the ball on many occasions. On one of these, he looked up and passed to Dylan who shot past the keeper for his hat-trick. Later, Dylan passed wide to Calum who then fired the ball into the box for Kyle to slide the ball under the keeper for goal number 10. Then, with seconds remaining, Kyle won the ball yet again and blasted it across the 6 yard area for Mark to nod the ball into the net, rounding off another great day for the team.
