I have taken a pause and over night sleep to contemplate the right notes and observations from our 6 match pre season.
Kirrie 22 Edzell 3 ( scored by our loaned strikers)
Forfar 0 Kirrie 2
Edzell 0 Kirrie 4
Kirrie 3 Monifeith 0
Kirrie 2 Broughty 1
Cup Final
Kirrie 0 Ferry 0
Ferry won 4-3 on pens
So any comments I make are irrelevant as Kirrie scored 33 in 6 matches and conceded 1, of which we won that match. So we lost a tournament but were never beaten——- very hard to swallow sorry forgot to add we scored in the final but the position of ref prevented him from giving. Other teams might say ah that’s just sour grapes, but no as 3 team managers came over to me at the end of the tournament and applauded the boys play and commented we were the best team in the tournament. Somehow that just makes me even more sorry for the boys.
The bigger picture is, all I promised the parents (at meeting) was to improve your sons ability . I also made that promise to the boys at training , and given various comments from parents and the boys Facebook site “Kirrie Youth” they too feel better players. So far that’s happening so why do we all feel gutted , simple ! they deserved to win it.
The work ethic and team bonding is there for all to see bring on the season.
