S2 Football

On Monday 29th March, the school S2 boy’s football team were due to take part in an East Ayrshire schools tournament at Grange Academy. Unfortunately, a number of schools had to pull out of the tournament so Doon were left to test their skills against three teams from Grange Academy. In very testing weather conditions Doon competed well in three thrilling matches. Unfortunately for Doon, they narrowly lost in all three games to score lines of 4-3, 3-2 and 4-3. There is no doubt that the boys deserved more for their efforts but a combination of some missed chances and some late goals from Grange meant that they were to leave with no victories. Goal scorers for Doon were Michael Harvey with a fantastic five goals whilst William McCleary grabbed a brace. Daryl Grover also got his name on the score sheet. Every player played their part in very difficult conditions and can feel unfortunate that they didn’t get the luck they deserved. Let’s hope they have a change in fortunes when they play next time. Doon Team: Peter Featherstonehaugh, Andrew Paton, Michael McCreath, Alexander McDowall, James McCreath, Daryl Grover, Michael Harvey, William McCleary
