PAFFraser's profile

The football's been played and what a wonderful day we had.

Played in the right spirit by all, the Corn Exchange was awash with footballing talent across a range of ages. Flashes of brilliance and goals galore. Just what we wanted.
What we (the organisers) also wanted; hoped for - was an Avison Young victory after 7 years, and finally it happened.

Group A was tight. AY won 2, lost 1. Gillespie Macandrew and Ryden won 1, drew 1, lost 1. While PMP won 1 & lost 2. AY & GM progressed to the Cup semis; Ryden & PMP, the plate or in this case, the Cat Cup.

Group B was slightly more clear cut. The GVA Allstars (made up of Duncan's former colleagues), won 2 and drew 1. Cushmans won 1 and drew 1. While Brodies and Thomas Johnstone won 1 each. GVA & Cushmans made the cup semis; Brodies and Thomas Johnstone the Cat Cup.

Group A prevailed in the semis of both cup and the final line-ups were made up of Avison Young Vs Gillespie MacAndrew and Ryden Vs PMP.

Avison Young convincing won the Cup 6-2 while PMP triumphed 4-1 in the Cat Final.
