Jeanfield Swifts 2006 vs Letham Sky Blues 2006
Friendly boost for young Swifts.
With no league match we welcomed at short notice our fellow PKYFA team Letham Sky Blues to Jeanfield for a friendly ⚽
Early exchanges were pretty even with Sky Blues probably shading it in terms of pressure. They made that count around the 15min mark with a long range effort which nestled in the top of the net. Boys though were coming into it and began to build up some nice play to start probing the Letham goal. We were rewarded with an equaliser when a great pass from Casper found Fergus who ran clear and slotted home for his 13th of the season. Callum then came close with a long range free kick but with half time approaching the Sky Blues took the lead when one of their players was upended in the box and the resulting penalty was coolly dispatched ⚽

Boys started the second half strongly and began to put together some really good pieces of play. The equaliser was looking on the cards and so it proved when a cross by Casper outfoxed the Sky Blues defence and Aidan was on hand to stab the ball home to make it 2-2. Sky Blues were playing some good stuff as well and were making sure our defence had to keep on their toes. With 10 mins to go though a pass from Casper (3rd assist )put Kewin through on the right and from a tight angle he squeezed his shot past the Letham GK. This proved to be the difference and the boys saw the game out.

Whilst a friendly this was still a great wee boost for the boys to finally break our 11s duck at Jeanfield. A great competitive match between 2 teams on the right development track.
Man of the Match was Ben who stepped into the centre half position and looked like he had played there the whole season. Superb performance.
