A WINNING START (29/08/09)

MYS Blues 9 - 5 Pencaitland

The new season kicked off in style with a hard fought win over Pencaitland.
The Blues took their time to get into the game and where soon a goal behind with Pencaitland scoring early in the game.
Callum (2) scored the first of his two goals thanks to a long range effort and some assisting with a very strong wind behind him.

The goal of the game came early in the second half after some great play from Callum who had ran from his own six yard box right to the opposite touchline and laying the ball back to Alex (4)who had made a great supporting run from midfield and blasting the ball high into the net for the second of his four goals for the day

The Blues where starting to control the game and Keith (3) made sure the game was won by scoring his hattrick with three similar goals - standing in front of the keeper and waiting for the ball to be crossed in and skillfully flicking the ball round the keeper (I have to say Skillfully since he done it three times)

Pencaitland could have scored more goals, but for some good defending and some superb goalkeeping from Lawrie they could not add to their five goals
