MYS Blue 7 v 8 Longniddry
For the first time this season the Blues had a full squad as they visited Longniddry and they where so unlucky to come away with a defeat.
The Blues started very slowly and where finding Longniddry hard to beat. The home side where 3 goals up early in the first half and where looking good, although the Youngstars did pull a goal back just before the end of the half, thanks to some strong running from our latest signing Callum.
The second period started better for the Blues as they where starting to find some space and where getting better at pressing the opposition, Keith had a couple of good efforts but against the run of play Longniddry stretched their lead and scored a further two goals with Ben scoring a late consolation for the Blues.
The Blues seem to be fired up for the third period and goals from Alex, Ben , and Blair M brought them back into the game. It could have been more but the Longniddry keeper was in good form.
The Blues where going for it in the last period and the deserved equaliser came after some great play from the boys. Callum found Dan on the wing and he cut inside to score a nice goal.
The Blues where going for the win, but a lapse in concentration and too many players forward resulted in Longniddry grabbing two late goals.
Blair O scored a late consolation for his first goal of the season, but there was not enough time for the Blues to get an equaliser.

A BIG IMPROVEMENT (16/05/09)
Haddington 3 - 11 MYS Blue Stripes
A result that no one expected at the start of the game, but one to be very proud of.
The Blues started this game in a very positive manner and where passing and moving the ball round better than they have done all season.
Dan opened up the scoring with the first of his four goals thanks to some good wing play from Keith. Haddington had some good chances but thanks to great goalkeeping from Lawrie and an organised defence, their chances where restricted.
Alex was being very strong in defence and was gaining confidence going forward and it was no surprise that some of his long range efforts found the net. Blair M was getting into some good positions and his hunger for goal resulted in his hattrick as well.
Every one of the players can be proud of their performance and lets hope that this is a turning point in their season.
Final Score: 3 - 11

A BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE (09/05/09)
MYS Blue Stripes 2 - 11 North Berwick
After our 8 - 8 friendly last time out, The Blues would have felt confident with this game, but the confidence soon went as North Berwick scored with nearly every shot they had. The Blues where trying to get the ball forward but everyone in the team where just not at their best on the day and the game was over by the first half as North Berwick raced into a big lead.
Alex scored a consolation goal for the blues and Struan scored from one of his trademark freekicks.

LOOKING FOR A WIN (02/05/09)
MYS Blue 2 - 2 Tranent
The blues where still searching for their first win of the season, but this would not be their day.
The blues took the lead, an easy tap in for Dan, but as the game went on the Youngstars could not capitalise on their early lead. Tranent where proving to be difficult to break down and where managing to get more players forward which streched our defence, and they scored the equaliser to make it 1 - 1.
Dan scored his second goal of the game and the Youngstars where looking good for their first win, but poor defending cost them late in the second half and Tranent forced their second equaliser. The blues finished the game slightly stronger, but could get much shots on target.

A GAME TO REMEMBER (25/04/09)
Dunbar 8 - 7* MYS Blue Stripes
The blues where the visitors in what proved to be a very tough game both on and off the park.
The match started off well with the blues taking an early lead and looking good for their efforts. Dunbar came back into the game and where putting pressure on the blues and it was no surprise when they scored.
Some of the Dunbar players where being a bit agressive with their tackles which caused some complaints from both players and parents.
The second period was much about the same as the first half with both teams putting in a lot of effort. Dunbar made the game 7 - 7 with only a couple of minutes to go. The blues got a freekick and Struan scored from about 20yrds only for it to be chopped off, apparently the freekick was indirect. The Blues where agrieved at this and Dunbar went up the other end of the field and scored.
Final Score: 8 - 8, but the Blues feel that this game should have ended a draw and thats how we will look at it.

A GUSTY PERFORMANCE (14/03/09)
MYS Blues 1 - 11 Aberlady
The conditions for this game where not ideal, howling winds and rain. For the first fifteen minutes the Blues where holding their own and playing well, but could not really penetrate the Aberlady defence. Aberlady made most of the conditions and before we knew it the blues where 6 - 0 down. The blues kept their heads up and tried to get some goals, but the Aberlady keeper was in great form and not much was going to get past him.
The Blues scored a goal late on, but the match was well over by then.

NEW SEASON (07/03/09)
MYS Blue Stripes 5 - 7 MYS Black Stripes
The opening fixture saw both 2000 teams facing each other for the first time in a 7 a side format.
The game started off well with the Blue Stripes opening up a two goal lead but the blacks came back into the game with two quick goals. Both teams where in an attacking mood and the goals continued as the first half closed at 4 - 4
The Blues where feeling the pace early in the second half and quickly lost three goals which didn't really reflect on how the game was going. The blues pulled one back with five minutes to go and continued to put the pressure on and they hit the bar and then had a shot cleared off the line, but could not improve the scoreline.
