Our U16s switched their usual Friday afternoon coaching session for a fixture v Leith Academy S5/6s at Academy Park. As current table toppers the 16s needed a full blown challenge to keep them ticking over and the hurriedly arranged fixture gave them the opportunity to stretch their legs in a competitive setting. The fixture, held yesterday, didn't go according to plan, as the lads found themselves 2-0 down inside ten minutes. Things picked up as they matched their older opponents, but just as the lads were taking control a petulant act of indiscipline saw them reduced to ten men. It was now no way back for the lads as their stronger, more physical opponents scored another two goals to run out 4-0 winners. An interesting footnote to the game. All four Leith Academy goals were scored by Albion U19 striker Carlos Herrera.
It's a funny old game right enough.
