BLUES UNLUCKY (23/05/09)

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.
