FunDay A Success
Henderson - scorer at FunDay
Great
weather and as promised a feast of football for all age
groups. For over three hours the 400 or so fans saw goals
galore laced with thrills and spills a plenty.
Penalty Competition
A
well- deserved 14th birthday celebration for Andrew Malone
of Stewart Avenue, Ochiltree. Andrew struck a perfect
5 out of 5 sweet left foot penalties at the first time
of asking past promising Ayr United goalkeeper, Darren
Johnson. He put paid to any idea from his elders of a
sudden death shoot out. Andrew received an Ayr United
top signed by Andy Walker; Ayr’s all time penalty
king
Kaisayr
5 – Honest Men All Stars 0
Great
to see genuine United die-hards in action at Somerset.
Top internet team Kaiser proved too strong and slick for
the Honest Men. Little wonder as they are currently challenging
for the championship of the British internet league and
looking forward to a semi–final against the mighty
Arsenal.
On the mark for Kaisayr were Pete Noble (2), David McJannet,
Gio Dunlop and Puff Gamble. Not surprising Pete Noble
was the Kaisayr man of the match with Jim Stevenson, an
under pressure keeper, receiving the Honest Men honours.
Reilly’s
Masters 5 1988 Champions 2
(Scorers
: Masters - Alan McTurk 3, Robert Reilly, Darren Henderson)
(Champions - David Kennedy and Tom Porter)
The
main event saw a return to Somerset of the maestros of
yesteryear and the fans lapped it up. Robert Reilly’s
Masters served up silky football with a killer touch while
the 1988 Champions squad battled bravely without a real
cutting edge and perhaps slightly older legs. Deft touches,
excellent ball control, accurate passing and a willingness
to have a go at goal demonstrated why both sets of player
were such favourites over the years at Somerset. Punter
Tom Porter playing as a guest was delighted with his late
goal effort.
Reilly’s
squad – Michael Robertson, Stevie Farrell, Kevin
Biggart. Andy Millen, Derek McCutcheon, Malcolm Shotton,
David Irons, Robert Connor, Alan McTurk, Robert Reilly,
Robert McNey, Darren Henderson
Star Man – hat trick man Alan
McTurk
1988
Champions squad – George Watson, Mark Shanks, David
Kennedy, Willie Furphy, Ian McAllister, Kenny Wilson,
Tommy Bryce, Ross Scott, Tom Porter, Gordon McBlain, Jim
Cowell
Star Man – defiant keeper
George Watson
Douglas Smith, former Grade 1 referee from Barassie, Bryan
Connolly from Maybole and David Kinghorn from Irvine ensured
all the games flowed smoothly and contributed greatly
to the enjoyment.
Ian
Ferguson of West Sound did the commentary honours and
kept the fans update with on field action.
All
agreed including some very tired players there was an
appetite for this type of non pressure but enjoyable football.
Great effort with thanks to all players, official for
their voluntary services. Over £1000 raised for
Trust charity.
