A good eskvale unit beats men's 2's

The men's 2's assembled on Saturday afternoon for their friendly game against Eskvale before the start of the league competition on the 21st.

With a few regular players missing, the 1's provided some players to fill the gaps and to support the new faces in the 2's. Young Adam Martin, another product of our successful youth set up, and Cammy Forrest making their debuts. Cammy making his debut alongside his father and hockey stalwart Andy Forrest(new signings from Edinburgh Cala).

The game was even for the first 10/15 mins but eskvale then capitalized on some small errors and opened the scoring. Not long after while Fidra were trying to reset and play the doubled their lead. Fidra then recovered for the remainder of the half with some well timed passes and excellent breakaways but unfortunately no end result.

The second half was a lot more even as fidra held their shape well and thwarted eskvale time and again. This eventually paid of when Rowan made an excellent tackle on the halfway line and stole the bole. He then drove at the remaining eskvale defender pulling him across and away from goal before slotting a perfect square pass to Matt on the back post who duly slotted it in the bottom corner.
Eskvale then upped the tempo for the last 1- mins and tiredness showed in the 1's players helping out and Eskvale worked a simple goal to make it 3-1.

Full time came and although defeated, Gavin who had assisted from the sideline had plenty of positives to take from the game and this season should bare fruit for the youngsters.

Well done to all on a great effort.
