I WAS 'DOWN THE LINKS' TODAY AND SAW OUR 16 COLTS TEAM WIN 3-1 AGAINST ALLANTON IN A BRILLIANT BUT HARD FOUGHT EAST OF SCOTLAND TIE.

THIS TIE HAD BEEN POSTPONED MANY TIMES RECENTLY AND EVENTUALLY IT WAS AGREED THAT IT SHOULD BE PLAYED AT OUR GROUND AND BOY WAS IT WORTH WAITING ON!!!

ALLANTON TOOK THE LEAD BUT WE LEVELLED AND IT WAS 1-1 AT HALF-TIME.

THE SECOND HALF WAS A REAL CUP TIE BUT WE WERE ALWAYS MORE LIABLE TO SCORE AND WENT ON TO WIN 3-1.

I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE THIS AS A HARD FOUGHT GAME BUT THERE WAS SOME MEATY CHALLENGES ALL OVER THE PITCH BUT THE TEAM WITH THE MOST SKILL WON IN THE END.

OUR TEAM SHOWED A REAL LEITH SPIRIT AND REFUSED TO BE INTIMIDATED AND MATCHED ALLANTON IN THE PHSYICAL SIDE OF THE GAME BUT KEPT THEIR DISCIPLINE BETTER AND AS SAID WERE THE MOST DANGEROUS SIDE GOING FORWARD.

THIS IS THE BEST TEAM THIS COLTS TEAM HAVE HAD AT THIS AGE GROUP AND I AM SO PLEASED FOR GARY KERR WHO HAS BEEN AT THE CLUB A LONG TIME AND BEEN VERY PATIENCE AND HAS GOT HIS REWARDS WITH A GREAT TEAM AND A GREAT SPIRIT TO THEM.

ALSO ONE OF MY FAVOURITE 'OLD' PLAYERS OF ALL TIME THAT I HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH AT LEITH FOR A LONG TIME GRAHAM MILLER IS WITH THIS AGE GROUP AND I AM DELIGHTED TO SEE A YOUNG COACH LIKE HIM (23)WORKING WITH THIS TEAM AND PUTTING SOMETHING BACK INTO THE CLUB.

'G' WILL BE BRILLIANT IN THE DRESSING ROOM( JUST LIKE HE WAS AS A PLAYER) AND WILL HAVE THE TEAM ALL BUZZED UP AND HAPPY TO PLAY FOR HIM, GARY AND THE OTHER COACHES AND THIS IS WHAT MAKES THIS CLUB GREAT WHEN YOU SEE ALL THESE COACHES GETTING REWARDED WITH A GREAT PERFORMANCE LIKE WE HAD TODAY.

A GREAT DAY FOR THE CLUB!!!
