Kelburne Men's 5s Storm to Victory Over East Kilbride 1s 3-1

/

On Saturday 14.9.19 - The Kelburne Mens’ 5s continued their great start to the new season by defeating East Kilbride Mens 1s 3-1 at an overcast and blustery On-X Centre, Linwood. After an excellent draw last week, the Kelburne 5s were in fine spirits and right from the start they looked to play high and dominated possession. The first attack came after 3 minutes. A run down the right by Nicholas Knox saw a dangerous ball flash across the D. Shortly after, nice work from Tommy Austin brought a short corner which resulted in a Kelburne shot going just wide after nice passing between Dick Donaldson, Tommy and Nick. After 8 minutes, East Kilbride had their first venture into the Kelburne D but the play was quickly closed down by Stuart Robin and with the next attack Kelburne took the lead. A ball into the centre was controlled by Jared Bolland who found Aaron O’Hear at the back post and Aaron made no mistake with the finish. Kelburne 1-0 East Kilbride. In 14 minutes, Kelburne won a short corner but the opportunity was blocked. Over the next 10 minutes, the East Kilbride keeper faced a succession of shots from Aaron, Callum Stewart and Tommy Austin, who was causing East Kilbride problems with his close control and dribbling. At this point, it would be fair to say that the East Kilbride keeper was the reason for score remaining 1-0. On 26 minutes, he pulled off another great save after good work from Andrew Stewart saw the ball fed to Aaron who drove into the D only to be denied by the keeper. Towards the end of the first half, the game became slightly more broken with East Kilbride pushing up in the search of an equaliser. However, most of the chances continued to fall to Kelburne with shots from Dick and Callum Brown blocked by the keeper. As the first half drew to a close, Kelburne had two short corner opportunities in quick succession, the second of which saw the ball bounce across the face of the goal and go agonisingly wide. Half Time – Kelburne 5s 1-0 East Kilbride 1s

The second half had barely begun when East Kilbride scored an equaliser. After a quick move up the wing, the ball broke to the East Kilbride attacker in the centre of the D to score. Kelburne 1-1 East Kilbride. The goal gave East Kilbride a lift and at 38 minutes, Fionn Wilson had to react quickly to kick out a dangerous ball in the D, with Stuart breaking up a further attack shortly after. However, after the disappointment of conceding the equaliser, Kelburne once more began to play as they had in the first half. On 42 minutes, a run by Jared brought a short corner and a shot on goal from Tommy saw yet another save. Sustained pressure brought a Kelburne long corner, which saw Charlie Feeney break through into the D only to be denied once more by the keeper. On 50 minutes, yet another Kelburne short corner saw a shot by Dick fly just wide. As the game entered the last 10 minutes, and with the East Kilbride keeper continuing to repel multiple attacks, it seemed that Kelburne were to be denied the victory their play deserved. However, the young Kelburne 5s team continued to show the same effort and commitment that saw them come from 4-0 down the previous week and on 61 minutes, they went ahead once more. A short corner was played out to Dick who controlled the ball and calmly shot low past the keeper into the corner. Kelburne 2-1 East Kilbride. Kelburne continued the pressure and after 64 minutes, they got a third. A great run through the middle by Aaron saw a through pass to Charlie, who calmly slotted the ball passed the out-rushing keeper. Kelburne 3-1 East Kilbride. Overall, a fantastic team performance.

FT Kelburne 5s 3-1 East Kilbride 1s. Well done all 5’s lads!

Kelburne Mens' 4s Lose Out to GHK

/

On 7.9.19 - The Men's 4s started their Division 2 campaign away to GHK looking to carry on from the success from last season. The game got off to a frantic start with the action being end to end. GHK scored the early goal via a short corner before Kelburne had settled down and started to pass the ball around and building the play creating several chances and winning short corners. Kelburne was soon level via a short corner with Shaun Jardine-Malone putting the ball in from close range after a short corner 'routine'. The 4s continued to create opportunities and short corners but unfortunately could not capatilise. As the half came to a close, a lapse at the back gifted GHK the lead, 2-1 at half time. The second half started at a frantic pace with the intensity rising all the time. Both teams had chances as the game became scrappy but could not gain the advantage. As Kelburne looked to level the game GHK caught the boys napping to grab a 3rd followed by finishing off the scoring with a late short corner. The final score 4-1 to GHK. A scoreline that didn't reflect the good play from the 4s but lots of positives to take to next Saturday’s game against Clydesdale 4s, 2pm push back at Linwood, On-X.

Kelburne Ladies' 3s Miss Out to Ferguslie 1s 0-1

/

On Saturday 7.9.19 - Kelburne started strong with the ball not leaving the Ferguslie half for the first 10 minutes. Unfortunately a quick break from Ferguslie led to a penalty corner. After an amazing effort from the defence the ball sadly hit a foot on the goal line meaning a penalty flick was given. Despite efforts from the keeper Ferguslie unfortunately scored from the penalty flick. Kelburne quickly regained possession with amazing runs up the line from Emma Downie resulting in a shot on goal by Niamh divers which was saved by the Ferguslie keeper. After half time kelburne started strong putting more pressure on the Ferguslie defence. All efforts made by Ferguslie to break were stopped by Laura Brolly. Kelburne had 5 short corners in a row but couldn’t put any in the net.

A fantastic effort ladies!

Kelburne Mens' 3s Beat Helensburgh 1s 7-1

/

On Saturday 7.9.19 - Kelbunre 3's first game of the season found them coming up against a very strong experienced Helensburgh team. The sun was out and the 3's wanted to put on a good performance to start the season. The game started at a frantic pace with both teams creating chances. It wasn't long before Kelburne found their shooting stride with 3 unanswered goals, the first half was over with the 3's glad they took their chances. half time 3-0 Kelburne The second half started and Helensburgh were out to show they were no push overs and duly got a goal. It was a goal that the 3's were disappointed to concede. This sparked the 3's into top gear with 4 more goals without conceding anymore. Some good hockey was played by both teams but the heat was starting to tell and everyone was happy for the full time whistle to go. full time 7-1 Scores: Phil Nijsen 1, Craig Speirs 2, Jay Berry 2, Bob Martin 1, Riyaad Henry 1 Lots of positives for the 3XI and some things to work on at training on Thursday before they head down to play Ayr on their sand based pitch next Saturday (14/9/19).

Kelburne Mens' 5s Lose to Greenock Morton 2s

/

20.4.19 - On a sunny Saturday afternoon, the Kelburne 5s travelled down the coast to take on Greenock Morton 2s. Coming after a win against a strong Giffnock 2s side, the young Kelburne team were looking to continue their good run of form. Unfortunately, it was to be a proverbial game of two halves.

First Half – The opening moments were fairly even, with the first real opportunity going to Greenock after 8 minutes but the short corner was dealt with by the Kelburne defence. Following a green card for one of the Greenock players, Kelburne had a good spell of play with Nicholas Knox playing in a couple of good passes across the D which found no takers.

Play continued to back and forth until 19 minutes when Kelburne went ahead. Andrew McGrane harried a Greenock defender in the D, won the ball and played it to Tommy Austin (who celebrating his birthday that day). Tommy shielded the ball well and laid the ball off for Dick Donaldson to shoot past the Greenock keeper.

On 21 minutes, Greenock had another short corner but it was well closed down by Willie Hunt, who was sitting in front of the Kelburne defence and intercepting a lot of Greenock through passes. Later on in the half, a good ball into the D by Ian McIntyre saw Tommy win a short corner. However, the pass out from the corner bobbled on what was proving to be a difficult playing surface.

The half closed with Kelburne on top, with good runs from both Dylan Bradley and Dick, with the later forcing a save from the Greenock keeper.

HT Greenock Morton 2s 0-1 Kelburne 5s

Second Half – Greenock 2s began the half with a higher tempo and pushing higher up the pitch. This pattern was to continue throughout the second half and seemed to turn the match against the young Kelburne side.

On 40 minutes, the Greenock pressure paid off. A dribbling run across the pitch followed by a pass back into the D found an open Greenock attacker for the equalising goal. Kelburne immediately pushed forward to try and retake the lead, with a through ball by Nick finding Andrew but again the ball took a bobble on the sandy surface.

Greenock continued pressing forward. On 50 minutes, a great interception by Gordon Robbie cut out a dangerous attack but a minute later, Greenock took the lead. A long ball from midfield found its way through to a Greenock attacker free at the post to turn the ball home. Shortly after, Greenock extended their lead. A ball down the wing was passed across the D and although Rowan McClure made a fine save from the first attempt, there was nothing he could do to stop the follow up going in.

Kelburne looked to respond and on 60 minutes, a shot from Sam Hunt forced a good save by the Greenock keeper but 2 minutes later, Greenock scored a fourth. Interplay between Greenock players in the Kelburne D appeared to end with the ball lifted into the Kelburne player. However, no whistle came and the Greenock attacker continued on to score.

With the game drawing to a close, Greenock added a fifth goal in the last minute.

Despite the result, the match was yet another learning opportunity for the young 5s team who continue to grow as players with each game.

FT Greenock Morton 2s 5-1 Kelburne 5s

Kelburne Mens' 5s Miss Out to GHK 1s, but only just!

/

On 6.4.19 - The young Kelburne 5s team travelled to Anniesland to play GHK 1s who recently had moved down from the league above. Missing Dick Donaldson, Don Tervit and Michael Carnachan it was going to be a difficult task. From the first whistle the youngsters took the game to GHK which unsettled the home team. They created several chances but just could not put them away. They moved the ball quickly from defence to attack and when called to defended bravely. Unfortunately with 10 minutes to go until half time Kelburne conceded a penalty corner and from this a GHK forward slipped in at the back post to score.

HT GHK 1s 1-0 Kelburne 5s From the start of the second half Kelburne continued to attack GHK looking for an equaliser but could not find a way past the inform GHK keeper. The youngsters worked really hard and continued to cause problems to GHK by playing some fast flowing hockey. It was against the run of play that GHK scored their second as Kelburne continued to push forward. That was how the game finished but full credit to the Kelburne youngsters who showed real commitment and endeavour and deserved more from this game. It was a real pleasure for the coaches to see the youngsters play to their full ability and give the GHK team a real fright - FT GHK 1s 2-0 Kelburne 5s

Next Saturday 13th April the young Kelburne 5s team travel to Eastwood High School to play Giffnock 2s with a 1-30pm pushback and are hoping to continue their fine form.

Kelburne Mens' 5s Draw Against Giffnock 1s 1-1

/

On 23.3.19 - 1st half: Kelburne 5s set out a very experienced team, with the addition of some on form youngsters. After settling into the game Kelburne gradually increased the pressure on Giffnock, who at best, were limited to the occasional counter attack. Kelburne were rewarded for their hard work after a flurry of shots saved by a very agile Giffnock keeper, a clearance picked up by Michael Caranchan was clinically fired low into the corner of the goal. A few substitutions were made as halftime approached but unfortunately Kelburne seemed to lose their momentum and it wasn’t long before Giffnock would capitalise, levelling before the break. HT Kelburne 5s 1-1 Giffnock 1s 2nd half: The positive attitude of the Kelburne 5s was evident as they tried to regain their grip on the game. Obviously buoyed by their performance in the first half hour of the match, they knew they could win this game. A couple of penetrating runs from Dick Donaldson came close and a similar effort form Sam Hunt forced the keeper to pull of a wonderful save. The Kelburne youngsters also managed to stretch the Giffnock defence a number of times, hitting the baseline and firing dangerous balls across the face of the goal but unfortunately, nobody was able to convert. It was starting to look like the game was destined to be a draw as both teams searched for the winner but just lacked the killer finish. In the end Kelburne got the very least they deserved and can be proud of the effort put in by the whole team. FT Kelburne 5s 1-1 Giffnock 1s

Next Saturday 30th March Kelburne 5s welcome Clydesdale 4s to Glasgow Green with a 4-30pm pushback

Kelburne Mens' 5s Beat Clydesdale 4s 3-0

/

On 30.3.19 - A warm sunny afternoon set the scene for the match between Kelburne 5s and Clydesdale 4s. Only 1 point separated the teams before push back with both teams looking for the 3 points to secure their position in Division 2 and Kelburne looking to continue a late push for promotion. Both teams had a mix of young and old and the game was played in an excellent spirit throughout. The first half was even and whilst the hockey was good, it was slow and had the feeling of an end of season game. The highlights of the first half was an excellent reverse stick tommyhawk into the top corner of the net from Tommy after he found space in a crowded D and a penalty corner conversion from Dick (2-0). Clydesdale played well in the first half and had some sustained periods of pressure, 3 corners in quick succession required Fionn and Gordon to clear goal bound shots. The evergreen Alan showed positional excellence in being available high on the right. However, his solid crosses could not be met by the forwards (something to work on!) Both team’s old guys found the pitch difficult and there were many spectacular slips and falls. A popular shout from the sidelines was ‘Dick’s decked it again’. Coach Willie was far from happy at half time and called for more urgency, a change in formation and a full press. The team responded and totally dominated the second half. This was demonstrated by young Rowan, second half Goalkeeper, not having to touch the ball and Big Gordon asking for his deckchair. Alan and Rory stayed higher up the park and Don was able to use his skill within their 25. Dick continued to dominate the centre of the pitch and Tommy and Jared showed both tenacity and skill in plentiful quantities. The size of the opposition does not matter to our Kelburne youngsters. Any second half Clydesdale attacks that got through our midfield were rapidly dismissed by the ever reliable back four of Willie, Big G, Jack and Ewan. Jack has quickly made right back his own and was excellent throughout in both defence and distribution. Kelburne attacked with precision and pace and Rory almost added to the score with two hard low shots, which were saved by a busy goalkeeper. The Kelburne pressure was eventually rewarded with an excellent penalty corner routine and a firm low corner shot from Alan (3-0). He almost increased his tally when a neat pass from the right gave an easier opportunity, but the shot was pulled and he ended up on his back - LOL. The domination and pressure continued with the second half subs – Iain, Andrew, Sam, Dylon and Hamish. However, despite a multitude of circle penetrations, shots and penalty corners the score remained the same. The Clydesdale Goalkeeper was without doubt their man of the match and made numerous excellent saves including several from an ever improving Andrew. Converting circle penetrations to positive goal outcomes will be a key coaching point in the weeks to come. There was a lot of attacking play down the left with Dylon and Sam interchanging passes and cutting through the defence at will. Kelburne felt that they had scored a fourth after a lovely finish from Sam from a penalty corner routine, but the far umpire thought that the ball had not left the D. At the end of the game it is Kelburne that’s is looking up the table with an outside chance of a top two finish. Giffnock are currently well ahead in second, but only have three games to play and will find it difficult to secure points from Hillhead 4 or the new improved GHK. Kelburne 4 and Rottenrow are 5 points behind Giffnock with a game in hand with similar teams to play including Kelburne 5s. Kelburne 5s are still in the battle, but there is a long way to go.

Kelburne Mens 5s Lose Out to Hillhead 5s 1-2

/

THE FULL STORY…

On 2.3.19 - Kelburne 5s edged out by experienced Hillhead 5s. Saturday 2nd March. The hottest February on record seemed a distant memory as Kelburne 5s faced Hillhead 5s at a rain soaked Lower Windyedge. The mix of experience and youth in the Kelburne team was underlined by the fact that many of the team were playing their second game in as many days, having played an Under 15s match on Friday night. The opening period of the game saw neither team creating any clear opportunities. Kelburne had the majority of possession with Dick Donaldson’s prompting passes and Sam Hunt, Tommy Austin and Nicholas Knox taking turns driving at the Hillhead defence. Kelburne were also solid at the back with Gordon Robbie and Willy Hunt keeping Hillhead outside the D and fullback Jack Nelson confidently running out with the ball. On 12 minutes, the Hillhead defence failed to clear an initial attempt on goal from Sam then a shot on the turn by Nicholas was saved by the Hillhead keeper (who was to have a major influence on the result). Two Kelburne short corners followed in as many minutes, with Dick forcing fine saves from the Hillhead keeper on both occasions. Kelburne continued to press, with a short corner coming on 16 minutes but the Hillhead defence were out quickly to close it down. Shortly after, the Hillhead keeper was again in action saving a shot from Sam. Midway through the half, Kelburne brought on fresh legs with Calum Jamieson, Jared Bolland, Andrew McGrane and Rory Donaldson all coming on. Hillhead were now starting to come into the game and on 19 minutes, Kelburne keeper Fionn Wilson was called upon for the first time, saving a bouncing ball in the D and deflecting it onto the post. Hillhead then forced two short corners but both were dealt with by the Kelburne defence. The rain was constant at this stage and the pitch was becoming slippery. Players on both teams were losing their footing and taking minor tumbles.

After soaking up the pressure, Kelburne pushed forward once more. On 29 minutes, the Hillhead keeper produced another save following a short corner, then a Kelburne pass from the left was just in front of Andrew’s stick as he ran in on the keeper. Nearing half time, the game tilted back towards Hillhead who tried using a tactic of lifting the ball to runners on the right wing but young Dylan Bradley handled the situations well. The half ended with a Hillhead shot going wide but it came from outside the D. HT Kelburne 5s 0-0 Hillhead 5s The opening minutes of the second half were to prove costly for Kelburne, with Hillhead starting quickly and almost immediately forcing a short corner. From the pass out, a low shot from the forward found the backboard to put Hillhead in front. After the goal, Kelburne immediately broke forward and a reverse stick shot from Sam went just wide but Hillhead were on top at this stage in the half. A short corner was kept out by Kelburne before Hillhead again had the ball in the goal. However, the forward was adjudged to have committed a foul before shooting and the goal was disallowed. The game began to open up as Hillhead sought a second whilst Kelburne strove for the equaliser. Ian McIntyre and Hamish Walker were passing into the channels for the young forwards to run onto and in 46 minutes, Kelburne had two opportunities. The first, a shot kicked clear by the Hillhead keeper, the second, a pass across the D that sadly found no takers. With the floodlights on, the rain continued to teem down although rumours of animals lining up two by two outside the nearby Scotstoun shipyard were unconfirmed. On 53 minutes, the balance of the match shifted yet again with Hillhead getting their first real chance since opening the scoring. A shot from a short corner was well saved by Fionn Wilson who was then off his line quickly to break down another Hillhead attack. The game continued to ebb and flow but moving into the last 10 minutes, Kelburne continued to drive forward. A lifted attempt from Dick went just over followed by a shot from Rory which saw another good save by the Hillhead keeper.

With 3 minutes remaining Kelburne’s efforts had finally paid off. A darting run into the D by Dick saw the ball laid off to Andrew. His quick shot was blocked by the Hillhead defence but the ball broke nicely to Rory who calmly finished to level the score. Had the game ended a draw, it would have been a fair result but unfortunately it wasn’t to be. With the final attack of the game, Hillhead came forward and played a ball towards goal. Following a clash in the D, the ball broke between two Hillhead forwards and despite Fionn blocking the path to goal for the first, the second forward managed to spin and place the ball inside the post from a tight angle, sealing the win for Hillhead. Irrespective of the result, the young players in the Kelburne team can take many positives from their performance against a more experienced and physically stronger team. Indeed, but for a series of excellent saves by the Hillhead keeper, the score line could have been different. Well done lads!

FT Kelburne 5s 1-2 Hillhead 5s. Next Game – Kelburne 5s face Rottenrow 2s at Glasgow Green on 16 March with a 4:30pm pushback.

Kelburne Mens 5s Lose Out to Hillhead 4s

On 16.2.19 - The game started at 12 o’clock with a Kelburne taking the pushback against league leaders Hillhead 4s. After 3 minutes Hillhead scored an early goal giving Kelburne the worst possible start. Hillhead continued to push forward and were rewarded with 4 short corners which were well defended. All throughout the game there is good teamwork from Nicholas Knox and Tommy Austin up the right wing creating lots of chances to get the ball into the D. At the other end good defending by Gordon Robbie stopped Hillhead from creating many more chances in the Kelburne D. When Hillhead made it through young Fionn Wilson in goals pulled off some good saves leaving Hillhead frustrated. It was overall a pretty good half and Kelburne and they hoped that they could get back on level terms in the second half. HT Kelburne 5s 0-1 Hillhead 4s The second half started off quickly with another Hillhead goal in 2 minutes. Kelburne were disappointed but pushed forward to try and get back into the match. Jack Nelson pulled of some good tackles playing right back but got injured and had to be subbed by Andrew Stewart. Hillhead scored again 9 minutes in making it 3-0 to Hillhead leaving Kelburne with an uphill struggle. Andrew McGrane received a pass at the Hillhead 25 and drives towards the D but is unfortunately tackled a few metres out. Hillhead replied with another goal in 54 minutes making it 4-0. Kelburne continued to push but it was Hillhead who scored the final goal with 3 minutes to go making it a 5-0 loss for the Kelburne 5s.

FT Kelburne 5s 0-5 Hillhead 4s - Next week Kelburne 5s hope to bounce back against Uddingston 4s with a 12 o’clock pushback at Glasgow Green.
