ProLife Kelburne Men?s 5s lose to Uddingston

ProLife Kelburne Men?s 5s v Uddingston  4s

Saturday 13th February 2016

The young 5th eleven took to the field against an equally young Uddingston 4s side. The game started well for Kelburne as they quickly got the ball into the area for Aaron Primrose to fire home. After this the play was very even with both teams creating chances but both being unable to finish. The young Uddingston side were well organised and began to have the better of the play. After 25 minutes Uddingston found the back of the net when Ryan Wood could only deflect the ball to the back post where an Uddingston forward was there to tap the ball home. There were a couple of half chances after this for both teams but the half finished one all.

The second half started with Uddingston playing the better hockey and creating some chances. This lead to a number of Penalty Corners which Kelburne defended well but it was only a matter of time before Uddingston would take the lead, scoring 10 minutes into the second half. This briefly spurred Kelburne on and, feeling aggrieved he had not gained a Penalty Corner when an Uddingston player played the ball whilst on the ground, Aaron drove into the area past 3 players and fired home. But Uddingston still looked the better team and it was no surprise when they took the lead again. As Kelburne tried to push for an equaliser their play got sloppy and this allowed Uddingston to fire home 2 more goals for what was a deserved victory.

Glasgow Accies v ProLife Kelburne Mens 5s

Saturday 6th February 2016

After the long Winter break the young 5th eleven took to the field against a much more experienced Accies team. The 5s started very much on the front foot with Accies having to defend. The 5s had the majority of play and the first effort fell to Ciaran Willcox whose shot cannoned off the post and bounced clear. The 5s were dominating without being able to create many clear cut chances but, after about 20 minutes, they managed to win a Penalty Corner. After the initial shot the ball bounced about the area and the keeper pulled off a good save from Ciaran which bounced out to Craig Speirs. As Craig was about to shoot he was blocked which resulted in another penalty corner. From the Penalty Corner, Aaron Primroses strike was well saved by the Accies keeper. Although Accies had created a couple of half chances their first real chance came from a Penalty Corner with about 10 minutes left in the first half. Although the ball bounced past the stopper it was picked up just behind and fired into the box, stopped and rifled past Dougie McEwan in goals. From the restart Kelburne gave the ball away and on the subsequent attack Accies won another Penalty Corner. From this Accies scored at the back post with a reverse stick strike. This was very harsh on the young Kelburne squad.

HT Glasgow Accies 2-0 ProLife Kelburne Mens 5s

The second half started with both teams pushing for the important next goal. Unfortunately it came for Accies who scored early on from their third Penalty Corner. Dougie managed to get his stick to the ball but it flew into the top left hand corner. Within 15 minutes the game was over as Accies scored their first goal from open play as they grew in confidence. The Kelburne youngsters kept working hard and began to create some half chances. But Accies got the final goal of the game from open play with about 10 minutes left. Young Jay Berry fired an excellent shot into the net with 5 minutes left but unfortunately he was just outside the area.

Bromac Kelburne Mens 1s draw but remain top of the league

Bromac Kelburne Mens 1s v Grange Mens 1s

Saturday 28th November

After a disappointing result the previous weekend Kelburne aimed to get back to winning ways against Grange. Grange are known to be frustrating opponents and that?s just what the game was. The game started at a high pace with the first good chance falling to Ross McIntyre after some great work from Jack Mckenzie found him at the penalty spot but he put his shot just wide. The rest of the half was very even with both keepers pulling off a couple of good saves each.

Halftime Kelburne Mens 1s 0-0 Grange Mens 1s

A quick start to the half from kelburne saw a short corner won in the first 3 minutes.  The only thing that stopped Josh Cairns putting Kelburne 1-0 up was a great stop on the line from one of the Grange players. As play continued Grange hit Kelburne on the break with only some brilliant tracking back from Chris Nelson stopped the Edinburgh side going 1-0 up. Kelburne had another opportunity to go ahead through captain Johnny Christie who was unlucky to see his shot go just over the bar. Kelburne finally got ahead in the game after some great skill from Michael Christie found Ross Macpherson whose back post shot was tapped in by Jack McKenzie. Grange then had a period of pressure where they managed to win a short corner.  It was run down but hit a foot leading to a second corner that Ben Rennie managed to pull off a great save to keep Kelburne in the lead. However Grange continued to pile on the pressure and a supposed off the ball incident led to a green card for Jack McKenzie and another short corner to Grange which they converted with 15 minutes left. Both teams continued to press but the game finished level.  This means going into the indoor season Kelburne sit top of the table.

Summer Camp a HUGE Success

/

The club held its annual Summer Camp last year and another great time was had by all 

in attendance. 
With over 70 kids taking part and despite some bad weather, they were put through a week of intensive coaching as well as developing their game skills and teamwork skills. 
The club was delighted to welcome back Scottish Internationalist and Summer Camp 'Legend' Willie Marshall who was on hand to pass on handy hints and tips to the clubs up and coming young players. 
The camp offers a good introduction to hockey for newcomers, as well as allowing those with experience the opportunity to develop and refine their skills. They are then given the opportunity to try the new skills learned in games and challenges throughout the week. 
Thanks go to all the coaches who made the week a success particularly during the poor weather. 
Plans are already under way for next years Camps, which will aim to be even better!
