Woodend Tournament et all Review
While not the 40+ degree heat that our recent Scottish Masters representiitives had to deal with, it was certainly nice to see the sun out for our traditional season opener. With members from all across the club turning out to celebrate the start of Season 2018/2019 President Meikle was able to assemble 5 teams ready to compete in a good natured event. It was fantastic to see such a spread from the young Jason MacNiven to the experienced Alastair Baxter out having a good time.
Your generosity helped raise £471 on the day for Brothers In Arms, who offer support to men in Scotland, of any age, who are down or in crisis and empower them to ask for help when they need it, without feeling a failure if they do. We have set up a JustGiving page for those unable to attend on the day who may wish to donate. Just click on the picture below!
I would like to say a massive thank you to Alan Meikle for organising the event and putting on a excellent BBQ at Woodend afterwards.
The 1st XI took on Stepps and it was certainly one that a neutral would have enjoyed. Estimates put the score at 9-5 however no one could really agree after the match. Confirmed scorers as follows Graeme Campbell x 4, Ewan Campbell x 2, Adam Carmichael, Michael Sherry and the Seagull (Grant MacMillan). If youve been missed out then get in touch! Goal of the match was close as well with Graeme Campbell scoring both a deft reverse stick deflection which lobbed over the oncoming keeper in the first half and showing a piece of individual brilliance to beat two players before firing the ball into the bottom corner in the second half.
Congratulations to Hillhead Ladies who won the Accies Tournament on Saturday as well without losing a game!
