Kelburne 4-3 Blackstoun United
The boys get the league campaign off to a winning start.
We started slow and Blackstoun had a few chances early but as the game went on we grew into it. After 25 minutes good play down the left between Ryan and Keats resulted in Ryan whipping in a delicious inswinging cross that Josh got on the end of with a side foot volley into the back of the net
5 minutes later we doubled our lead when JoJo picked the ball up in the final third, he picked out a pinpoint pass onto Josh’s chest and he brought it down and tucked away with a side foot finish.
Just before half time it was 3 when dinky made a bursting run through the middle of the park and JoJo was provider again finding the ball through which dinky provided a deft chip into the far left corner.
On the stroke of half-time Blackstoun were awarded a penalty but Super Tommy Boyd produced the save to keep it 3-0 at the break.
Very quickly into the second half it was 4 as Big Josh sealed his hattrick with a back post header following a cross from young Alexander.
Blackstoun got awarded a second penalty of the day when a goal bound header struck dinky on the arm from a yard away, very harsh call. Once again Tommy produced the save to keep the 0.
In the dying stages of the game as the boys tired Blackstoun done very well and managed to get 3 goals back but in the end we ran out 4-3 winners.
