Delayed Coach Delighted – Match Report 27 September 2014

Despite the late arrival of the team coach, the 2004s put in another excellent performance away at Pencaitland. Despite an earlier start which has in the past caught the team half asleep this week saw them bright and breezy in the 1st 15 mins with some excellent play all around. Goals were shared around the team and with Ali having a couple of good saves the team were 4-1 ahead. As ever the scoreline is not the important factor with the continued improved passing being the most pleasing aspect. Saturday saw another debut with Angus joining the team. Despite not playing for a few weeks he fitted right in and will hopefully go and enjoy his football with Gullane. The match also saw Arran and Harvey getting their 1st goals…

Tough day at the office – 2003 Match Report

Tough day at the office for the 2003’s as we played as strong Dunbar side with a number of players unavailable. Playing with just 7 in the squad, the team really pulled together to support each other with Daniel leading from the front, back and basically everywhere. The defence played well with some great composure from Jasmine and Wil again impressing at left back, Dylan  impressing in midfield with some good tackling supported by Archie on the other side getting up and down the flank with some strong shots. Shay led the line well with some nice touches and mazy dribbling with Calumn making some great saves in goal. All looking forward to our last game before the break; away to Port Seton, Kick off time TBC Tom

Dribbling Masterclass – 2004 match report

Saturday's match (20th Sept) saw the 2004's squad entertain the usually excellent Haddington 04's at Memorial Park Gullane. The team got off to a slow start but eventually found their passing boots and started to enjoy stringing passes together. A couple of long range efforts from Archie paved the way for what to come. Despite a good effort from the Haddington keeper he was unable to keep out a strong shot from Archie. It remained 1 - 0 until a deflected shot took the ball past from the ever improving Ali in goals. The work with his goalkeeping coach is evident with more confidence in coming out to close down attackers. The 2nd period continued in the same way with Ella spearheading the attack with the Gullane team producing some super passing movements, and one in particular where Robbie produced the…

World Class Saves and Hat Tricks

Our 2004's squad played a very good Longniddry Villa team this morning at Memorial Park Gullane. After a slow start the team played really well with some excellent passing and movement. Today saw the home debuts for Ella and Harvey and they have already added to the team's quality. Our goalkeeper Ali made a number of very good stops, but one save in particular was World Class, managing to get a strong hand to a shot that was bound for the top corner to knock it over the bar. His goalie coach Jamie would have been impressed. At the other end, Cole - our striker for the day - showed his killer instinct with 3 superbly taken strikes.  With excellent defending from Jack J supported by good forward play from Robbie as well the combined usual high…
