Scotch OC Quiz Night

Hi All,

We're looking at having a quiz night around mid-september as one of our major fund-raisers and to ensure it is successful we really need a good set of prizes. So if you, or your friends and family work for/own/are involved in any sort of buisness or company that may want to donate some prizes please please let Alasdair know ASAP.

For us to grow as a club, and to finally get some decent training facilities it's crucial that nights like this are a big success, so please don't be too lazy about this and get involved!

Cheers,
Al

[Sat 13th June] Scotch vs Rostrevor

Scotch B’s 2 – 3 Rostrevor B’s

Goals: Toby, Paul

The B’s started the game in best possible fashion with a cross from Sam finding Toby at the corner of the 18yard box. The youngest of the Rogers clinically lobbed the pink-clad keeper to give the Scotchies the early advantage. The lead didn’t last long, with Rostrevor hitting back shortly after. Another defensive mistake, and Rostrevor were up 2-1. Despite being down, we were playing well and had numerous chances to level the score. Approaching the end of the first half, Sam whipped in a dangerous corner which found Paul at the back post. Paul calmly headed into the net as a well deserved equaliser. The second half started out very evenly, with both sides having good chances. With around 20minutes to go a Rostrevor player yelled something abusive at the ref who mistakenly thought it was Paul. Paul was issued our first red card for the season and begrudgingly left the pitch. Despite being a man down for the remainder of the match, the Scotchies matched if not bettered Rostrevor and were unlucky not to score another. Rostrevor, however, managed to take their chance to hand us another well contested defeat. Great chance against Uni whites next week to grab our first win of the season!

Best: 3 Sam, 2 Toby, 1 Pandy, 1 Paul (-2 for the red card!)

Scotch A’s 3 – 4 Rostrevor A’s

Goals: Chris (3)

In stark contrast to the B’s great start, we were on the back foot with a well worked goal splitting our defence apart in the opening minute. Almost from the resulting kick-off, Rooney flicked on a ball which found Chris at the edge of the box who turned, shot and levelled the score. 2 goals in as many minutes and we knew it was going to be a high scoring game. With Dunsy out through injury, and Dan in after a few weeks absence, our defence was a little disjointed to start, but played solidly after the first 10minutes. A hard-driven freekick to the bottom corner saw Chris give us a 2-1 advantage heading into half time. The second half saw our defence under increased pressure and this resulted in two goals, leaving us one down at 3-2. We continued to press and had several good chances until Timmy danced clear and struck a firm shot which the keeper fumbled. The ball fell at Chris’ feet and he completed his hat-trick. Three all and both teams were pushing for the win, unfortunately the referee decided to award Rostrevor a penalty in the dying minutes. Haydn and their pint sized forward were contesting fairly for the ball when their striker fell over rather softly in the box. He proceeded to slot the penalty and secure Rostrevor the points. Al played a good game in goals despite the score line and Dave looked good on his debut for the Scotchies.

Best: 3 Chris, 2 Dave O, 1 Rooney

[Sat 30th May] A' vs Grads Red (Cup)

Scotch A’s 4 – 0 Grads Red A
Goals: Chris, Matty L, Andy T, Gammy

A replay of last years cup quarter final saw us up a against a very different looking Grads Red side. Due to an initial no-show, the game was started with a Grads Red referee, only to have the official referee show up several minutes into the game. Play continued and Grads Red looked good from the start, playing the ball well through the centre of the midfield. A couple of half chances went begging at either end until a free kick from Dain found Matty L on the left wing. Matty crossed the ball in low and the keeper fumbled into the path of a grateful Chris, who poked the ball home. From that point on, the Grads boys dropped their heads and the balance of play shifted to the Scotchies. Toby entered the game for an injured Dain and had an immediate impact in helping to control the midfield. A great through ball from Dunsy and a good switch of play saw Matty L and Andy T both get their names on the scoresheet with clinical finishes. Gammy was introduced for the final few minutes and also grabbed himself a goal with a well placed header off a perfect cross. 4-0 at the close, a result that closely mirrored last years 4-1 thrashing. Good to see the Grads boys have lost none of their charm, with their tubby elbow throwing midfielder no exception.

Best: 3 Dunsy, 2 Matty L, 1 Toby
