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.

Ellon Meadows Presentations

Conratulations to all Colts boys on their efforts across the course of the past 9 months or so, if we could reward the entire team we would as every boy has improved massively in this time and deserve all the praise they got.

Well done to Marc Lawrence. To be nominated as Players Player of the Year is a great honour.

Also well done to Chris Argo for his award as Coaches Player of the Year, awarded for his developemnt as a player and also his great attitude throughout the entire season.

Keep up the good work and there will be even bigger rewards to follow for all the boys involved.

On a personal note both myself and Craig would like to extend our great thanks to all the parents and the other kids for their efforts and support thoughout the year, without this we would really have struggled.

As for the trophies and cards presented to us coaches, we were very surprised and taken aback, this was a very nice gesture, one that was not necesary, but one that will be treasured by us both for a long time to come.

Thanks.

Steven & Craig

A fitting end to a great 1st season
