First win of the season and first ever win for Morningstar B! Hope you enjoyed the taste of it lads as we’ll be expecting more of those!
Everyone ran their socks off and worked really hard for the team. All the hard work put into last week’s game carried over to this match and we’re looking like a real force out there. There were one or two scary moments but thanks to the heroics of Mark Laidlaw in goal we managed to close the game out.
We were unfortunate to go 1-0 down but to quote Tom Whitelaw “there’s goals in this game” and it was a matter of time before we got back into it. And what a way to do it, Robin found himself in space to the right of goal and with screams of “HIT IT!!” let rip with a half volley into the opposite corner. Peach.
We don’t settle for draws and with time rapidly running out we were chasing a winning goal. In our eagerness Jamie lost the ball in half, but did his duty to win it back. Before anyone had realised he’d sprinted down the wing and as the defender approached he squared the ball to Rob to bury the winning goal.
There was more drama to come - with seconds left on the clock Rob lost the ball just outside our area and with the striker bearing down on goal Mark Laidlaw raced off his line to make an awesome save, one of many on the day. Probably worth a mention that at 1-1 Mark made an outrageous save from a back pass that looked destined for the opposite corner of his goal - that’s one way of getting on the score sheet Salvatore ;)
Man of the match goes to Mark as nominated by the team. Gimp of the game goes to Jamie for his ‘conversion’. Two in row Jamie! ;)
