Our last league game today against Ardeer Thistle Blacks 2012’s was a bit of an up and down performance.
The boys have shown grit and determination all season with huge strides in confidence, skills and team confidence, growing each week making us a harder team to play against as the season progressed. We're so proud of how much the boys have put in to their development and fitness and team work.
The long season proved a little too much though for the boys today against a strong Ardeer side of determined and well organised players.
We were down two goals after 6 minutes as we struggled to get to grips with the opposition after a break of several weeks from our last game and boys being out on holidays.
We steadied the ship as the first half progressed, coming close several times from set plays and long distance strikes and unlucky to go in at half time three nil down.
After a good half time talk we restarted like a different team. Bright and alert with great passing and forward pressing suprising Ardeer with the quick plays. An exciting game ensued, lifting both sets of supporters.
Our press paid off when Cole reduced the deficit and the heads were up again.
Ardeer fought back though almost immediately as they reacted to our step up in performance.
Late on, Harris was quick to react as the Ardeer keeper spilled a powerful shot from Ewan's free kick outside the box giving us a bit more of a boost, however it was just too late for the comeback with the match finishing 2-8.
Superb performance from Luke today, shutting out a good few attacks at the back earning him MOTM.
Thank you to all the boys showing real dedication, commitment and loyalty to KFA throughout the season and congratulations and good luck to Ardeer Thistle Blacks 2012’s for next season as we both navigate new leagues and structures.
