Last week our boys’ knockout soccer team played its first round of matches against Stirling East and Blackwood. We played Stirling East first up and they were too good for us on this occasion, beating us 5–2. Stirling East went on to beat Blackwood, ensuring that they would proceed to the next round and we would be knocked out along with Blackwood. But neither that, nor the incessant rain managed to dampen the boys’ spirits. With only pride and fun left to play for, they went out and proved that they are still a good team, beating Blackwood by a very convincing 19 goals to 1.
