Football

St Silas football team played Trinity Possil in the Atholl Cup (Division Three) quarter final on Saturday and we came away victorious with a 7-2 win! The first game St Silas played on grass in months wasn't quite as one sided as the scoreline suggests. A long ball through to John from Derick caused the defender to give away a penalty which Frank slotted away twice (he had to take it again). Trinity deservedly pulled back level with a scorching shot from long range. Then Frank worked himself some space right on the touch line to cross perfectly for Ali Morrow's well timed run. Ali headed St Silas into a lead before half time.

The second half goals just merge into one in my mind: The score went 3-1, 3-2 then 7-2 (John got 3, Frank 2 and Ali 2). Trinity's goal came from a corner, the goal scorer headed brilliantly past Derick. St Silas got to grips with the surface in the second half and really started to play well, winning more 50/50 balls. Also Trinity's defence had problems dealing with the pace and skill of John and Frank. It was fantastic to have Big Tam back in the team (if you could pray for him that would be great) he played fantastically and brings so much to our squad!! He's a big guy and very good with both feet, he set up at least one goal directly with a through ball to John. I also was given M.O.M. which was a surprise as I thought i had played poorly!!!


Also Scotland won 2-1!!!! wooohoooo
