SF Skedgel Cup Final

The night started with big expectations from the lads meeting early in the Firs. Their demeanour was a jovial one and knowing this was the big one they were ready. Alas the Talisman had other ideas.
Firs started badly with the Talisman playing more sharply and at a faster pace. Firs started to get a grip and slowly got into the game, but in the 20th minute the Talisman broke through to go one up. Now despondent Firs were still fighting to get back into the game but the pace of the Talisman were still giving them the edge. Then came a Talisman corner with a mix up in the Firs defence saw them go further in the lead when the scored their second goal. Firs desperately trying to get back, but to no avail and that’s how the score remained up till half time 2-0 to the Talisman.
The second half under way and Firs playing with more confidence got a goal through Mick McGinn. This seemed to be the turning point as Talisman seemed to panic as Firs stepped a gear. All but the tremendous goalkeeper from the Talisman keeper Firs could have netted at least four chances. Firs were now plying like their old selves and it only seemed a matter of time that goals would come. Alas through a defence mix up saw Talisman score a 3rd and gain a two goal cushion. Firs now looked forlorn as they gave everything to no avail and with darkness setting in Talisman scored a fourth. The writing was on the wall for Firs and that’s how the score remained, Talisman 4-Firs 1. The game was played with spirit and Talisman worthy winners.
