YOUTH ACADEMY NEWS

Our last home game off the season was played at Auchinleck Academy this morning v Cambusdoon colts due to the big team playing Pollock in the 4th round of the Macron Scottish Junior Cup . The last few week's have seen the boys start games slow so this week we got the boy's there nice and early to get the warmed up and ready to go from kick off we asked the boys to press high and work as a team . Kick off and the Glen's started at a fast pace putting pressure on Cambusdoon to have numerous shots on goal to be denied by the Cambusdoon keeper time after time 20 mins played and it was all Glen's. Finally a goal for there hard work from a mistake from the Cambusdoon defence 2nd goal soon followed after some nice passing . 2nd half Glen's started slow and gave Cambusdoon to much time and space on the ball and they paid the price for it with Cambusdoon scoring quickly it gave them a big lift as they started to press us high up the pitch the boys were fast to spot the space at the back and worked the ball well to go and get a few more goals . Few subs made at the back for the glens and it cost us 2 goals within minutes of the changes Glen's pulled together and started working hard again to go on and win this game with some nice play from back to front scoring 3 more goals . Well done boy's you made the game hard for yourselves at the start of the 2nd half but kept going to the end . let's take that fight and determination into our last game of the season next weekend v Cumnock
