Fantastic result and performance from the lads yesterday afternoon as we secured a 0–1 victory over Bridge Celtic! ⚽️👏

With new players settling into the team and others returning from injury, the lads worked their socks off from start to finish to earn a well-deserved result. 💪

Best of luck to our hosts, Bridge Celtic, for the upcoming season. 👏

FULL TIME | 2-3 ❌

The lads worked their socks off in Thursday night’s final game of the season despite a depleted squad.

We started brilliantly and went 2-0 up thanks to a superb brace from Nathan L ⚽️⚽️

The opposition pulled one back from the penalty spot just before the break, which shifted the momentum. They found an equaliser early in the second half before grabbing the winner in the final 20 minutes.

We had a chance to level things up from the spot ourselves, but it wasn’t to be.

Ultimately, we lost to the better team on the night, but the lads certainly made them work for it.

Super proud of this group and the progress made this season — massive improvement from last campaign. A couple of weeks off now before preparations begin for next season.

1-1

The lads dug deep, but it wasn’t to be.

A lovely run in the opening 30 minutes from Nathan L saw him dance past the opposition full-back before being brought down in the box for a penalty. Aiden calmly slotted it away ⚽️

Just before the break, we conceded a scrappy equaliser after the ball deflected in off the post.

The second half was a frustrating one, with very little going our way. We hit the post twice, saw a couple of efforts cleared off the line, and had to deal with some extremely poor refereeing decisions.

We can still hold our heads high after a fantastic season, even if we’ve just fallen short at the last. Attention now turns to Thursday night’s game against Pemberton as we look to finish the season on a high.
