MATCH ABANDONED!

N.Berwick Eagles 1 - 1 MYS Black Stripes (8Mar08)

For the first time ever, our match was abandoned today due to some horrendous weather conditions. It started off dry, but very windy. However, about 5 minutes into the game the rain began to fall. Kyle managed to get his hands onto the very slippy ball on a couple of occasions - but a good strike from a North Berwick forward found its way into the net for the opening goal. Mark and Innes played very well at the back, with a number of great tackles preventing any further North Berwick goals. The Youngstars were unlucky to score a quick equaliser through Calum's header and a great shot from Harvey which was cleared off the line. After some neat play between Sam and Calum on the left, the equaliser eventually came as Josh collected the ball and skipped past a North Berwick defender. He then fired the ball into the bottom left hand corner.

As the whistle blew for the end of the first quarter, the heavens opened and the driving rain showed no signs of stopping. The match was then abandoned, with Dylan and Lennon not even getting a chance to show their skills on the pitch today. All the kids were thoroughly soaked, so quitting the match was definitely the right thing to do.

Teamsheet: Kyle, Mark, Innes, Josh, Sam, Harvey, Lennon, Dylan, Calum
