Largs Thistle U19’s 6 Barrhead U19’s 1

Largs Thistle U19’s put in a classy display in their first league game of the season at Barrfields.

Thistle had some of their new signings on show including Jay Little, Caleb Reid, Neil Jones, Jack Petrie and Finlay Tempelton.

Largs were on the attack right from the kick-off and forced a corner which was floated over perfectly by Jay Little and headed powerfully into the net by Adam–Paterson-McKeen. Next up was Caleb Reid who was giving the Barrhead a torrid time with his direct running by beating two players and shot passed the goalkeeper for goal number two.

Following good team build up play, Caleb Reid played in midfielder Jay Little who placed the ball in the net for goal number three.

Jack Traynor put through an accurate pass and Lloyd Dicks coolly slotted the ball beyond the keeper for goal four.

Barrhead were pushing up the pitch but were caught offside on several occasions by the well organised Thistle back four.

Last but not least it was sub Dylan Smith to head home from the corner to make it 6 – 1. Largs could have chalked up more goals in a very dominant finish.

An excellent Team performance from all the Thistle youngsters who worked hard for each other, scoring six goals, with a fine display of passing football Thistle U19’s would like to thank Fitquick Motors and Costa Coffee for their continued sponsorship support.

All the players and coaches would like to wish their speedy midfielders Ross McKay, son of former Thistle player Gordon McKay well on his recovery from breaking his leg in a recent pre-season friendly, and Jack Rafferty who also is out due to injury.
