On Tuesday 7th October King’s Park travelled to Scotstoun Leisure Centre to take on St Thomas Aquinas.  It was the first league match of this seasons campaign and it turned out to be a thriller.  Two very committed teams determined to come away with the 3 points it was no surprise they had to settle for a share of the points.

King’s Park took a very early lead as Colin went through on the goalkeeper.  With the last kick of the 1st half St Thomas scored to equalise.  In the second half St Thomas raced into a 3 – 1 lead.  With 89 minutes on the clock Ethan shifted the ball onto his right foot and unleashed a powerful shot from just inside the box that sailed towards the top corner.  3 – 2 down in the final minute of injury time the boys won a free kick outside the box.  The whole team piled into the box hoping to get on the end of the cross and it was Tony who managed to get his boot on it to force the ball over the line.  A dramatic late equaliser earning the team a well deserved point.

Man of the match – Alfie Gracie
