Elizabeth Downs ( 1 ) Stirling ( 0 ) Reserves Cup..with pics

Post by swannsong »

Reserves Cup - Quarter Finals
Elizabeth Downs ( 1 ) Stirling District ( 0 )
Ozi Fazilahmed

Arrived at the game 10 minutes after kick-off and the Downs were already 1-0 up...although the Downs had several chances to stretch their lead, Stirling's keeper seemed to have his judgement and timing right on the day.
Ben McMullen rattled the crossbar with a well hit shot and Ozi Fazilahmed broke away several times but couldn't add to his opening goal.
Stirling stretched the Downs on several occasions with some good passing passages but were rarely able to produce a final touch to trouble Phil Hallard in the Downs goal...but with only a 1 goal deficit meant they could always sneak their way back into the game.
Downs hit the woodwork again in the second half but had to be happy with a passage through to the Semi Finals.

Didn't the Downs Seniors start up in 1971?

Taken from the Downs History page on there web site....
In 1971 the new club, with its 1st and Reserve teams, began playing in Division 3.
Its first game against MU Findon (now called Macedonia) was played at Argana Park


I think your a bit old to sign up for the Juniors swannsong....
