Straight Passed him then shot GOAL...

The first game was phenomenal.  Ladybank Panthers took an early 2 goal lead, whilst Jeddah City Football Club were still blowing the cobwebs away.  A stunning performance led by their team Captain Robert showed them to be a strong opposition.  Owen played an absolute blinder causing problems for Jacob our goal keeper with his positional play and overall skill.

Luke scored a stunning goal to make it 2-1.  Then quickly scored again making it 2-2. Finley for Ladybank Panthers laid on a great ball for Robert who scored with a fantastic shot which beat Jacob making it 3-2.

Here is the second.

Kareem put in a great cross which was laid on for Luke, who quickly passed it to Josh who scored making it 3-3.

The game ended a draw.

In my opinion man of the match for Ladybank Panthers was Owen. Man of the match for Jeddah City Football Club was Luke. All in all a fantastic performance by both teams.

Game 2


This match started with a lot of promise with Jeddah City looking strong in the beginning.  A corner was taken and Luke scored quickly making it 1-0.  Marwan was defending for his life, but unfortunately Robert proved too strong and equalised with a brilliant strike making it 1-1.

Owen again proved difficult to read and pushed us back with his skill and control.  Finley controlled the ball well to make it another impressive goal. 1-2.

Nour passed the ball quickly to Luke and with a quick one two Luke placed the ball in the back of the net making it 2-2.

Jacob was under a lot of pressure when Owen passed to Robert and he scored again making it 2-3.

Both teams were showing great ability when a home goal from one of our guest players made it 2-4.

Jeddah city kept their heads up and played some fluid football and Luke scored again with a great strike making it 3-4.

Kareem played well going wide and passed the ball to one of our guest players who scored, making it 4-4.

In the closing moments Ladybank Panthers took control and scored again making it 4-5. All in all this was a fantastic game.

In my opinion Man of the match for Ladybank Pathers was Robert.  Man of the Match for Jeddah City Football Club Kareem.

Game 3

Jeddah city started very strongly with a very fast 2 goal lead.  Luke fed the ball through on both occasions to allow Gavin a great scoring opportunity.  Both goals were scored by Gavin and Luke respectively.  Ladybank Panthers showed great courage coming back strong, equalising with fabulous performances from Owen and Finley, making it 2-2.

Jeddah city showed signs of fatigue when they let Robert score an easy goal making it 2-3.  In the final five minutes Ladybank Panthers took control of the game and scored again making the final score 2-4.

In my opinion Man of the Match for Ladybank Panthers Finley.  Man of the match for Jeddah City Football Club Jacob.
