13s lose out

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

Our 13s lost 4 – 3 to Park Villa in a pulsating Scottish Cup tie this morning.  the Glasgow team were 2 – 0 up and then 3 – 1 up but our youngsters showed great determination to pull it back to 3 – 3.  Unfortunately Park Villa were the next to score with 15 minutes to go.  In front of a crowd of 150 it was a great match played in a fantastic spirit.  Well done to both teams.
