Under 14s – Football Result
On Tuesday night, Barrhead hosted Mearns Castle in an entertaining game which finished Barrhead 7 Mearns Castle 3.
Barrhead started brightly with Cameron Stewart scoring a hat-trick and Blair Richardson also scoring, in a superb first half performance. Barrhead made changes at half time and Mearns came back into the game with a stunning free kick from 35 yards and a penalty kick. Barrhead then got their own penalty when Dean McLaughlin was brought down in the box, with Lee McTernan slotting the resultant kick into the bottom corner. Cameron Stewart then scored his 4th of the game following good work on the left wing. Eddie Fleming completed the scoring, slotting the ball in from close range. This was an excellent performance from Barrhead in their first game of the season. Well done boys!
