In a good natured friendly! the talents of the Police keeper and the goal-line clearance skills of local Constable Donald Neil saw the Police take the lead before the teams went in at halftime. The heavy pitch, pace of the game and the introduction of the striking partnership of ‘Larsson’ and Sean Taylor soon put the Police under the cosh and trailing 3-1. The youth had the upper hand, so much so that the Oasis keeper was seen in a deckchair reading a book! However while the legs and lungs were gone, old heads were still evident and as Oasis pushed forward the Police exploited the defence gaps and snatched two late goals.

Both teams thoroughly enjoyed the game and it is hoped that this is the first of many friendly challenges involving Oasis and the local Police. However I think the next one will be dominoes, ludo and tiddlywinks!

Both teams would like to thank Girvan Youth Football Club and Ronnie Hutchison for their support and involvement. We would also like to wish Constable Donald Neil a speedy return from his injury and can we have our stretcher back!
