Sunday matches are strange. They are either a windswept, rain soaked waste of time or a balmy walk in the park. This turned out to be the latter. We had a fairly strong side

which combined well in the early stages to score the opener and this sparked off some great passing all over the pitch. Duncan Graham somehow found himself up at the edge of the circle and helped to create several good chances before a nose bleed forced him to return to his own part of the pitch.

A second was scored before Monty got in on the act and snuck in at the back post to make it three without reply. A reverse stick effort (when to be honest it would have been simpler to take it front stick) was then slammed home into the centre of the goal. Four-nil at half time and coasting.

The students showed more fight in the second half and created a few chances, one of which was converted to give them a glimmer of hope—which was extinguished when the fith wen in. 5-1 and enjoying the chance to dominate a game for a change.

Whitey scored the sixth and final Grange goal of the day, before the students got a second consolation goal. The first time this season the 6s have scored 6 goals, what a nice change and confirmation that we can score loads of goals against the sides close to us in the league.
