The first LYFDA game of the season was played at Ballerup Playing Fields, Pitch number 6, today, Sunday 28 August. The weather conditions were terrible with a strong wind blowing from one end of the pitch to the other.
The conditions spoiled a good game but we tried to play football. The only goal of the first period was scored by captain for the day JACK KERR after good work on the left wing by Ryan Kelly.
At the beginning of the second period five changes were made, and we were playing into the strong wind. The conditions got the better of us and at the end of the 20 minute period we the score had been turned over to be 3-1 to Blue Star.
At the start of the final period, the team resorted to the 11 players who started the match and the decission was taken to play 2 ten minute halves because of the wind. RYAN KELLY pulled a goal back to make it 3-2 going into the last 10 minutes, into the wind. The boys dug deep and played some tremendous passing football keeping Blue Star penned in their own half. Man of the match LIAM CRICHTON then added a hat trick of goals from inside the penalty are to give us a 5-3 lead. We pressed forward to the final whistle and in the last minute GARY McCULLOCH added a sixth goal to complete the scoring.
The boys did well to come back from being 3-1 down, and played some impressive football in the final third period in difficult weather conditions, earning praise for their performance from the Blue Star coaching staff.
Next week we travel to Mill Utd and the boys will need to keep up the standards they set in this game to achieve a result.
