To walk away from a tournament being disappointed that we did not reach the final shows how far the boys have come in such a short space in time.

Some key point for us all to remember, on the first day of the season EMC were beaten 10-0 by Stonehaven Ajax, to beat them 1-0 today was a great result. To go a goal down to Kemnay, only to see the boys raise their game to fight back for a draw shows the spirit that has developed within the team.

We lost only 1 goal in 56 minutes of football, and did not loose a game, is an achievement not to be underestimated.

Every boy that took part played an important role today and they should all be proud of this achievement.

I would like to congratulate Donside for a very well organised event today. This is something perhaps Ellon Meadows could consider for the future.

If anyone has any photos they would like to contribute to this post, please get in touch and I will have them added.
