A Team Matches St Fillan's 1 - 1 St Blane's Saturday 23rd March 2014 Bi-Millenium match 2 Smashing day for football again.
This was match 2 of the Bi-Millenium tournament and
we had lost match one and were looking to get some points on the board. Turns
out St Blane's won their league and they provided
stiff opposition. Their keeper was excellent and as it happens he is the
Glasgow Select keeper. St Blane's scored first
against the run of play with a long ball from that keeper. We failed to deal
with it properly and Roddy in goals got lobbed, disappointing. We had all the
rest of the game and the pressure but simply couldn't convert that into goals
due to the keeper. Then we had a corner and another great delivery from Aeden put the ball right on Evan Newbury's head which he
duly converted (goal of the match). Great set piece Aeden ! Liam Comasky got man of the match for a very good performance
with a special mention to Jamie Devlin again for a very good performance in
an advanced position this time. St
Paul's 4 - 1 St Fillan's Saturday
15th March 2014 Bi Millenium Cup 1 Another good day for football and the boys performed well. The scoreline flatters St Paul's as we were definitely in it
for a long time and probably gave them a scare. Jamie Devlin was man of the
match and Roddy Colquhoun was a special mention in goals as was Joe Coyle
with a good disruptive performance which is the role we gave him. Aeden Crumlish gets goal of the
match for another sublime lob. Well done to all and here's to Saturday and game 2 of the cup.. St Fillan's 5 -1 Lourde's Saturday
8th
March 2014 Friendly match 8 Another cold but good day for football and as usual we were slow
to start and the game could have gone either way till we scored. Then we
scored again and again so the result looks good but the match was tighter
than the scoreline suggests. Aeden
was on fire again and scored a few good goals for goal of the match. Michael
Tomkins was man of the match again (I don't know where he gets the energy
from) and Roddy Colquhoun did well for us in goals. Joe Coyle gets a special
mention too as a much improved player, doing really well in front of our
defence for this game. Good result against a usually strong team. St Fillan's 2 - 1 JPII Saturday
1st March 2014 League match 8 League
winners 2013/2014 Smashing day for football again and the sun shone on us
literally and figuratively. We started slow as usual but created a bundle of
chances without executing them. Eventually we sent Aeden
through one on one with JPII's excellent keeper but there was only going to
be one winner here. A brilliantly and calmly executed lob put us in the lead
(Goal of the match to Aeden). Not long after though
we gifted JPII a goal and then looked a little rocky till the coaching staff
(Mark and I taking credit) put Dominic Harrison (captain) into defence and
sent our secret weapon (Evan McFadden) up front. This resulted in the goal we
deserved and we finished the game and the league on a high..
Man of the match went to Michael Tomkins who put in another powerhouse
performance, with Mark Birrell getting passer of the
match and Evan McFadden earning himself a special mention for being Evan
(secret weapon). League winners 2013/2014, great job boys, well done, never lost
a match. St Mirin's 1 - 8 St Fillan's Saturday
1st February2014 League match 7 A very cold day that had even the Janitor out sypathising with the parents and passing out Bovril
(where's mine !). Once again the boys started very
slowly with St Mirin scoring first putting us 1-0
down. Great spirit from the boys saw us come back from that to score a good
few goals (8) and run out comfortable winners. Goal of the match went to Aeden "Van Persie" Crumlish with a sublime composed finish. Man of the match
went to Mark Birrell who has been listening to the
coaches and has vastly improved his decision making, 'when to dribble and
when to pass'. Roddy Colquhoun also gets a special mention for going in goals
for us and doing a fine job. Well done boys. St Fillan's 3 - 9 St
Monica's Saturday
11th January 2014 Carruth Cup
2nd Round A cold day for many reasons, not least the result. We started
well and I had asked the team for three goals by half time. We got that and
all in the garden was looking rosy until just before half time when we lost a
silly goal. We then proceeded to lose 8 more (count them...8
!) The coaching staff (me) were at a loss, it
really was unclear as to why we just collapsed in 30 minutes. Pass marks went
to Michael Tomkins, Roddy Colquhoun and Dominic Harrison. A bad day at the
office. Least said.... St Fillan's 5 - 0 St Francis Saturday
14th December 2013 League match 6 Man of the match was the outstanding Evan Newbury who scored 4
goals...Surprisingly goal of the match went to Joe Rigley,
a cracker. Boys playing really good football and keeping a clean sheet, starting
to look quite formidable. Good work boys. Friendly
on Thursday 12th December v OLA The boys were warned not to score too many (too strong for OLA)
and to play good football. What was most impressive is that the boys did
exactly that. Mark Birrell scored a cracking shot
and there was some great end to end football being played, good to see and
good practice for matches later on. St Fillan's 12 - 1 St
Angela's Saturday
7th December 2013 Friendly match 7 Played 3 x 30 mins to give the boys a
good run out and to let St Angela's get organised. Again boys played very
well and Aeden Crumlish
and Daniel Medford were "man of the match's" with Mark Birrell getting "goal of the match" after a
cheeky keepy up before turning and scoring ,...skill ! |
St Fillan's 3 - 4 St Mirin's Saturday
30th November 2013 Friendly match 6 A friendly v St Anne's was always going to be a good test of
character for the boys and so it turned out. Michael Gallagher (P5) was in goals
and despite the scoreline impressed. Good handling
skills, good awareness and positioning. Two goals of the match for this with Aeden Crumlish curling in
another corner kick courtesy of a defender. Shay also scored a cracker with
his knee, interesting. I have to confess that I have forgotten who was man of the match for this, so answers on a
postcard. If any of the boys are reading this and remember, let me know. St Fillan's 10 - 1 St
Michael's Saturday
23rd November 2013 League match 5 Cold but yet another fine day for football and the football gods
were definitely shining down on us. St Fillan's
scored three sublime goals started by Dominic Harrison (this is becoming a
habit) with a 25 yard strike into the roof of the net. Aeden
Crumlish scored two RvP'esque
goals either of which would have made goal of the match. Both Aeden and Dominic's goals were awarded "goal of the
match" status, they were that good. Man of the match went to Cian Newbury a P4 (aged 8) player who has been
outstanding in his general play and playmaking and link up play. He was
easily the smallest man on the park and nearly scored from a header ! Passers of the match went to Evan Newbury and
David Hurrell who link the play well with their
clever passing. Very good performance boys. St Fillan's 2 - 3 St
Paul's (S) Saturday
13th November 2013 Friendly match 5 Smashing day for football again and this was to be a hard test
against one of the association's toughest teams. 2-2 was the half time score
in an exciting first half. Disappointing goals to lose by conceding daft free
kicks and a dafter penalty! However we responded well and came back each time
with good and well constructed goals. Liam Comaskey scored both and gets goal of the match for that.
Michael Tomkins supplied the assist for the first goal and gets passer of the
match and man of the match went to Roddy Colquhoun for a sterling performance
in defence. Special mention to Dominic who puts in a power of work (as usual)
Good work boys. We can definitely build on this. St Fillan's 3 - 1 St
George's Saturday
9th November 2013 Friendly match 3 Another good performance from the boys and a couple of "new
stars" in contention. John Gallagher got man of the match for a solid
performance at right back, good job! Michael Gallagher (no relation) is a new
P5 goalkeeper with excellent handling who made a stunning save in a 1 on 1.
Goal of the match went to the excellent (as ever) Dominic Harrison who scored
a belter. Well done boys, keep the hard work up! St Fillan's 7 - 0 St Mirin's Saturday
26th October 2013 Smashing day for football and a welcome visitor in the form of
former head teacher John Hutchinson who was impressed with the display from
the boys. First half was a little sticky but then we are always a slow
starting team. Daniel McLafferty was not troubled
much in goal but what he did have to do, he did well. Jamie Devlin was
absolutely solid both going forward and defending hence the award of man of
the match for him. Goal of the match was given to Cian
Newbury a primary 4 boy of outstanding ability who (despite being the
smallest boy on the park) scored a great header. A special mention went to
Kai McKenna who also had a solid game. Liam Comaskey
joined us for the first time because a couple of boys were sick or injured
and he impressed, a solid performance from Liam well
done to him and all of the boys. John
Paul II 1 - 6 St Fillan's Saturday
5th October 2013 Another great day for football and the boys were up for it. The second
half was a different team as the boys ran out and score three in quick
succession (can we see more of this team please). Some very good football
moves and some equally good finishing saw us comfortably 5 - 1 in the lead
when Danny Medford scored a cracker from distance. Shay McFadden was given
goal of the match for a jinky effort going through
4 challenges calmly in the box before steadying himself and finishing well.
Men of the match were Danny Medford and an ever improving Joe Rigley with another impressive performance. David Hurrell was awarded passer of the match. Well done all. St
Michael's 0 - 3 St Fillan's Good result guys. St
Francis (Gorbals) 3 - 9 St Fillan's Saturday
