Busby Amateur Football Club

This was the first league game for the newly formed under 14s after the A and B teams amalgamated.The game played at Crookfur Park.was a game of two halves with Busby having the wind advantage. Right from the kick off saw Busby take the lead after one minute of play, three passes saw Callum Young well placed to tuck the ball away. The rest of the match was a good attacking display from the Busby boys but strong defending by Stamperland kept the forwards at bay,Busby had two good chances,  coming close from free kicks and each team hit the bar .The break through came with one minute till half time when Liam Kinney whipped in a wicked corner that hit the Stamperland post and found its way into the net through a scramble of leg. Liam was quick to claim the goal which was confirmed by the coach to give Busby a 2 - nil half time lead.
The second half saw Stamperland have the wind advantage and this time it was the Busby defenders who had their backs against the wall and a fine display by Stuart in the Busby goal kept the game in Busby's favour. Busby chances were few and far between in the second half apart from a free kick well held by the Stamperland keeper. With about ten minutes to go a deflection saw Stamperland score. It was backs against the wall and great defending from Busby kept the game at 2-1. It was a hard match to pick a man of the match but new boy Johnny McEwan just edged it from Conner Harrison who also played well.
