Not my words, the words of Top Gear magazine.

An odd team, with a mixture of senior and youth debutants meant that we only had two twenty-year olds on the pitch, whilst the rest were all 15, the wrong side of 30, or whatever age Kit & Stumpy have now arrived at. So much for the promise of the 3rd XI becoming the 30s XI.
Hillhead looked their usual selves, a very tidy midfield with whom we did not want to enter a running game.

The first half was fair enough, with them being 2 goals to the good, but we had made a few chances.
The second half was more unilateral, with players giving the ball away far too often in the middle areas of the park (note to anyone, this is what's known as "chuffing the ball up").
The final scoreline slightly flattered our opponents (IMHO) and their were positives to take from the junior players who made good representations on the pitch - Hamish Kelman, Patrick Longmate & Callum Miller.

Big thanks to Ramsay for making a one-off return to the umpiring scene.
