The final score was 6-4 to Isobel Mair.
Well done everyone.
After cheering on the primary pupils, the senior team were raring to go…….
Alex Oliphant scored with his first kick of the ball, 1 -0 IMS.
The friendly tournament continued and it was touch and go if Alex was going to let anyone else score, he was on fire……. However Joshua A added a few more goals to the tally.
Alex O’Donnell saved a few good goals from Kersland and the
final score was 10-2 Isobel Mair.
