1st XI Scottish Cup R4 Airdrie 2 Spartans 1 (Gavin Malin)..having read most of the papers today and chatted to loads of people about the game it reinforced that the players, coaches and fans did the club proud and with a little bit of luck we might have got a replay.  Roll on next season’s Cup competition

 

2nd XI Scottish Amateur Cup R5 Spartans 0 St Mungo’s 1…a big disappointment…outmuscled and despite having the bulk of possession we created little although Nick missed a chance at the end which would have earned a replay

News

 

1. starting with less news – from now on i will put less information in my weekly email as it is nearly all going on the website…the site is updated nearly every day…www.spartansfc.com

 

2. This weekend was really important for our Youth section at 11 a side level – our 1st XI at 13s, 14s, 15s and 17s were all playing their counterparts from Hutcheson Vale in league games…for a long time the recognised number 1 youth set up in Edinburgh.  Our club is much more than the 1st XI across all our age groups…youth and adult but today’s scores were impressive…we won three of the games…13s by 4 – 1, 14s by 4 – 2 and 17s by 5 - 1.  Unfortunately the 15s lost but Daniel did pick up something from his trip to Airdrie with the 1st XI squad on the team bus yesterday as he did score today.  This set of results just shows what a great job the Youth coaches are doing….it’s a thankless task at times but I’m sure a number of those around Youth football in Edinburgh will have noticed these scores…I also spoke briefly to the Celtic scout who was at the 13s game and he was very complimentary about our passing style of play

 

3. Training: As it will be for a while…the 19s and 3s at Peffermill on Tuesday and at the Academy on Thursday…the 1s and 2s at the Academy both nights.

 

Cheers
