Crumlin 1 AFC TPS 7

A super result to kick start our 11 a side season. After Daniel opened the scoring early in the first half there was only going to be one winner in this game.

Oliver then added an early contender for goal of the season with a superbly placed long range effort before Harry and Johnston netted to give us a comfortable 4 nil half time lead.

Crumlin came out battling in the second half and quickly got back into the game with a well taken goal after a corner.

AFC TPS replied in the only way they know how : they kept calm and continued their fine passing game which saw Johnston, Graeme and Daniel add to our lead.

Adam had a confident game in goal, with Peter McW showing his tackling skills on his debut. Peter, Oliver and Dylan kept it tight at the back throughout the game. Daniel and Ross linked up brilliantly in the centre of midfield while Jake and Graeme were always dangerous on the wings. Adam D and Aaron came on at half time and both made good claims for a starting place in the next match.

Overall, a pleasing performance as we sign of for the Christmas break. Player of the match today was Graeme who was a constant danger on the wing. It is great to have such a good defence that we can play Graeme - who is an excellent defender himself - in this attacking role.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Loanends 0 AFC TPS 4

And so we begin.....

...with a super result in this first outing of the season for AFC TPS , against a determined and well organised Loanends team. As usual we displayed the battling spirit that is now common for AFC TPS, but this season it looks like we will be bringing a little more flair to our games.

Loanends started well and we were pleased to come in at half time with a 1-0 lead, when captain Daniel finished off a neat passing move involving Harry and Johnston. Jake came on for his debut in the second half and made an absolute nuisance of himself, taking on players and beating them regularly. A superb long range effort from Daniel gave us a 2-0 lead before Harry finally took off his skates and put his football boots on. After this he added a third with another excellent long range effort and tapped in for the fourth on the final whistle.

All in all, this was a super team effort which also saw Adam, Johnston, Dylan C and Ollie make their first appearances for the team. Both teams enjoyed the game in the fine autumn sunshine. While we can only hope for more of the same weather, we expect to see more of the same football!

Man of the match for frightening the life out of the Loanends defence, and showing that there is going to be fierce competition for places this season goes to Jake.

Well done Jake and well done everybody!
