We kicked off our first friendly of the season against the impressive Calderwood Blue Star at Ballerup on Sunday morning. It was a warm sunny day and from the start our boys were up for the challenge. All 18 boys were involved and had at least 30 minutes each.
The match was played over 3 seperate 20 minute periods.
Almost immediately our boys took the upper hand and soared into a 3-0 lead with 2 goals from Scott Mitchell and a penalty from Darren Smith.
At the start of the second third the changes unsettled the team a little and Blue Star pulled it back to 3-2, before Man of the Match Scott Graham scored after great work from a corner restoring the 2 goal advantage.
In the final third, the formation was changed to a 3-4-3, more attacking style, and Blue Star were penned in their half for most of the 20 minutes. Another penalty from Darren Smith and a great individual goal from Scott Mitchell, gave him his hat trick and a 6-3 lead. The team made another 7 changes with Thomas McGuire moving up front. The game was finished with Thomas taking the ball 20 yards out and crashing a shot into the net which the diving keeper could not keep out.
Overall it was a fantastic display from the boys and if they continue to play like this and improve then it should be succesful season.
