Pupils U13s in football action

BSC Glasgow (yellows) 8

Campbeltown Pupils 2009s (under-13s) travelled to Clydebank to play BSC Glasgow (yellows) on Sunday March 6, looking to follow-up on their draw with Busby the previous week.

 

After a promising start, the Pupils found themselves 5-0 down at half-time, through a combination of poor defending, and also some good play from the BSC attackers.

 

The young Campbeltown team rallied in the second half, and with a much better all-round performance, capped off with goals from Ryan Johnston and Ben Cunningham.

The young Pupils' second away game in a row saw them travel on Sunday to play league leaders Finnart.

 

The first 20 minutes saw the Pupils put in one of their best performances of the season, competing in every position, and they were rewarded midway through the half with a brilliant 30-yard strike from Ryan Johnston that found the top corner.

 

The pace and strength of the league leaders' attackers started to cause problems, however, and two quick-fire goals gave Finnart the lead.

 

The crucial goal came with the last kick of the half, with slack defending from the Pupils allowing Finnart to go into the break 3-1 ahead.

 

The second half was a very even affair. The Pupils were unlucky to see a free kick from Johnston go wide, and an effort from Jack Green slip just by the post, but it was Finnart who put the game beyond reach with two goals in the last 15 minutes – goals that were very much preventable from the Pupils' perspective.

 

This Sunday, the 2009s will play a home match against BSC Glasgow (yellows), the first of three home games in a row.
