Good 4-0 league win today for
Fernieside 15s in this tough league encounter
The game kicked off at 1:45, and
the surface was very good, The Fernieside boys couldn’t have
complimented the park enough. The new area itself is
cracking, and Fernieside were made very welcome on arrival.
Fernieside’s 1st goal came from Luis Ortiz, a cross from
Jamie Kelly, the defender didn’t get enough on in, and Ortiz
hammered it home from 18 yards, 1-0, great start. 2-0 soon
followed, Ryan Murray got the 2nd one, and he beat 2 men in
the midfield and fired a cracking 25 yard drive past the
goalie, great goal from the man of the match. 30 minutes and
it was 3-0, this time, Ryan Burgess collected the ball from
a throw in, 35 yards out, turned and hammered the ball high
into the net. Cracking strike, up there for goal of the
season. The 4th goal was a cracker, some nice play from
Yardley and Murray, a pass to Gibson, a cracking through
ball from Gibson to Shields and he hammered it low past the
goalkeeper from 8 yards.
4-0 at half time.
The 2nd half saw the Gaffa Shaun Gibson make lots of
changes. With the game won, and everyone needing some game
time, we chopped and changed giving everyone at least 30
minutes today.
Fernieside dominated the 2nd
half in terms of play, most was in the Spartans colts half.
But a lot of credit on the day to Spartans, as they played a
lot better defensively in the 2nd half and still
tried to get forward and play football, and limiting
Fernieside to a few long shots.
