On Sunday, the Whites took on Busby FC Oranges at 12.30pm at Toryglen Regional Football Centre, and the match ended in a 2-2 draw ⚽⚽⚽⚽
It was tough for all the boys in the scorching heat 🥵, and unfortunately we had no substitutes — a huge advantage for Busby. The boys gave everything on the pitch and put in a great shift, leaving them knackered at full time 😩
It should’ve been our first win since switching to 11-a-side football, as we were the better side overall. We played some great football, scoring two well-deserved goals and creating plenty of chances. If we had taken more of them, we could have won this game comfortably. Busby relied on long balls all game, and with a bit more concentration we could have prevented at least one of their goals 🥅. Huge credit goes out to the Busby keeper as he made a great save from the penalty spot.
The pitch conditions were terrible and really disrupted our style of play. It looked like a beach ⛱️, with large patches of sand across the surface. The grass was also far too long, and the markings were barely visible.
As the coaches said, they were so proud of every single player on Sunday. The effort was outstanding, especially in that heat — you could see it in every challenge. It was great to see the fight, the work rate, and how the boys never let their heads drop; our positioning and tackling looked much sharper 💪👍⚽🥅
One more game before the break, and the boys will work hard with the coaches this week to get in top shape and secure a win next Sunday afternoon against John Sutton.
We go again CMFA 🟠 ⚫️!
