WORLD CUP COMPETITION

Unfortunately no-one from our age group managed to predict the correct 8 winners from the group sections. Out of all our entries 17 came close, by predicting 7 group winners. All 17 picked France to win Group G, which was won by Switzerland.
A special mention must go to JAMIE BURNS, he has the honour of not predicting a single winner from any of the groups in one of his entries, and in the other only getting France wrong. Strange !!!
Anyway, thanks for everyone who entered the competition, and for contributing to the EKYC funds.

EKYC v IR Rejkavic, Iceland

Our final game of the season was a friendly against the touring Icelandic Pro Youth team IR Rejkavic. The match took place in the searing heat at lochinch Playing Fields.
The game was a bit of a mis match with IR having boys aged 12, 13 & 14 in their team, giving them a slight advantage(The keeper looked even older, and had to have a shave at half time.) our boys competed well and ended up losing 6-1. The highlight of the game was a great finish by Sam Hill for our only goal of the game.
At the end of the match our boys gave their strips away to IR, who were delighted to recieve them. Thee above photo shows both teams together at the final whistle.


TRAINING AND MATCHES ARE NOW OVER FOR THE SEASON. WE WILL RE START TRAINING ON TUESDAY 11 JULY 2006 AT DUNNEDIN PLAYING FIELDS.

Player of the Year Awards

This years player of the year awards take place at Hampden on Friday 16th June. Please be there for photos at 6.30pm for a 7pm start. The boys are to wear their traing tops and blue/yellow track suits.

Last Nights Training Of The Season

This weeks training night has been changed from Tuesday to Thursday 8th June. This is due to a large amount of the boys beeing on school trips, etc. This will be the last training session of the season. Please ensure that everyone brings their World Cup Sheets and money, as the first section games in the World Cup start the next day.

Traing will re start on TUESDAY 11th JULY however if players are on holiday then they can join in on their return.

We will be bringing in additional players to the squad, and competition for places will be tougher than ever, we are only allowed to strip 16 players next year, as we are now competing at a competative level.

I appreciate this may be disappointing to some of the players who have been with us from our 7 a side days, but the demands of competative football will be much greater this year.
