Today was a very big day! Both our teams played a match at St Andrews football club.
The event started with some traditional Scottish dancing by a local dance school, which was very nice. They performed the sword dance.
There was an opening ceremony with the teams walking out onto the pitch with a piper. The Saudi National Anthem was sung by our team and a Prince's Trust representative gave some opening remarks, which were well received.
The excitement built and the Under 12's were the first to kick off. The shape of the team has seriously improved over the last few days and they played very well against a very strong opposition.
The match ended in a 3-1 defeat, but we learned a lot from the game particularly the off-side trap (in fact it's fair to say I learned a lot too!!!) Sorry but Luke's goal was never off side!
At the end of the match the teams were awarded medals.
The 1st team played their hearts out and the game was fantastic. They ended up with a 1-1 draw, again against a very strong team. Their goal was due to a Penalty and our goal was by Sean striking the ball from a free kick scoring a brilliant goal, leaving the goal keeper no chance!
Well done to all four teams, who played extremely well.
Tomorrow it's Edinburgh, the official supporters club are currently suffering from shopping withdrawal and are in need of some shopping!
