Promising signs

Promising signs for Currie Star on Sunday morning.
An unseasonally warm Sunday morning had us travelling to the pitches behind Woodburn school in Dalkeith to see the Currie Star lads take on Dalkeith Miners.
Currie Star keeper could not make it for one reason or another and it was down to my lad to volounteer to put on the #1 shirt.
So i stood behind the goals to make some attempt at couching him through the trauma -
Remember that scene in Gregory's Girl

Shite Gregory that was lacross - ohh
Gregory, Gregory concentrate, now Gregory go to the ball, the ball accchh!!

Stopped short at diving for the ball behind the goals but not by much.

A tight game to begin with, it was clear that the Dalkeith boys were a more clued up outfit and it wasn't too long before they took the lead. It was beginning to go pear shaped for the Currie Star as half time approached with the score 3 - 0 and i felt the heavy defeats of the last few weeks repeating themselves.
Credit to the coach and to the boys tho, they regrouped and dug in and drew the second half 1 - 1.

Keep that spirit up lads and the results will follow.
