U14 football team

Team went down 2-1 against Eastwood yesterday. The boys put up a spirited display and performance, but just not enough in the end. In my opinion (obviously a tad biased) the boys deserved something from the game.

MOTM: Logan didn’t put a foot wrong the whole game.  Two goal line clearances and a number of mazy runs to help out offensively.

Goalscorer: Christopher (S1) smashed the ball into the back of the net after the goalkeeper pushed out an Owen free kick.

Behaviour was impeccable again, highlighted by opposing coach and referee.

Hard lines boys, roll up the sleeves for next week.

Under 14s football

footballteamcoloursLast week the boys travelled to Lenzie Academy to play their 2nd round cup tie, on what was a cold and wet night the boys ran out 1-0 winners.

Goalscorer: Scott slotted the ball home from inside the penalty box after he was set up by Owen who ripped open the oppositions defence with a mazy run which started just inside the oppositions half.

MoM: Scott who accompanied his goal with a solid and industrious shift on the right side of midfield.

All of the boys worked their socks off and were superbly behaved, though special mention must go to Hassan who stepped in last minute to play in goals, and despite not being a goalkeeper, managed to keep a clean sheet.

 

Well done boys, the third round awaits.

 

S1-2 Football Team

Hard lines to the S1/2 football team who in spite of their best efforts lost 11-1 against a strong S2 St Luke’s team.

Despite being behind and up against it for the whole game, effort levels did not drop nor did the standard of behaviour on the pitch.

 Hard lines boys.

 Man of the Match: Ryan Dobbins who despite playing out of position produced a solid display, well done.

Under 16’s vs under 18’s football

     

Barrhead High School’s under 18s football team hosted the most local derby ever – a match against Barrhead High’s under 16s!  The game was closer than anyone had expected: with both teams playing superbly as they attempted to claim the pride.  Jamie Cochran gave the under-18s the lead with a fine goal and it looked as though it might be a smooth sail for the seniors when they were given a penalty not long after.  However the shot was saved by the in-form 16s goalkeeper Ross Cooper.  The game really took off when a bullet-header from Steven Pringle gave the younger team the equaliser.  The enthralling game could be summed up as a great defensive show from both teams as the defenders were more than matching the strikers.  In regulation time, the game finished 1-1; with the seniors taking the victory in a, just as even, penalty competition.  Regardless of the result, the performance of both teams stands them in good stead for the coming season. Well Done!

Boys Under 14 Football

The school under 14 football team beat Eastwood 5 – 4 in a thrilling game at Eastwood’s new astroturf pitch. Barrhead came back from 2 – 0 and 3 – 2 down, to lead 5 – 3, before Eastwood pulled one back in the last minute. David Mundemba scored a hat trick, with one from the penalty spot. The other goals were scored by Connor Davidson and Steven Pringle.

U14 Football Team

Coaches Mr Allen, Mr Galloway and Mr Hendrie would like to acknowledge the hard work and excellent team spirit displayed by U14 Football Team during their hard fought 3-3 draw with Castlehead High School at Cowan Park Monday evening. 

Craig Campbell opened the scoring with a spectacular 25 yard free kick, but Barrhead were unfortunate to concede an equaliser a few minutes later. Robbie Townsend restored the lead with a cool finish from a tight angle before Castlehead once again drew level.  A speculative effort scored late in the game seemed to tip the tie in favour of the visitors, but Barrhead refused to accept defeat and Luke Wilson epitomised this never say die attitude, forcing the ball over the line  late in the game to secure a well earned point.

The players involved were – Ross Cooper, Ben Clements, Luke Wilson, Craig Lundie, David Mundemba, Robbie Townsend, Scott Gubbins, Daniel McCusker, (c), Gary Pritchard, Jamie McQuade, Michael Toal, & Craig Campbell (c).

 Well done!
