With the taste of defeat only two days old in the Skedgel cup Firs now had the task of pulling themselves together for the still on chance of winning the league. In the previous game against Bentlands Firs had a comfortable win of 7-0 but today started as a bit of a shock for Firs. Whether the cup game had taken its toll Firs started shockingly and I’ve never seen them play so appallingly and it showed when Bentlands went one up. Shambles was the only description the way Firs were playing and it looked like the league title was going to slip through their fingers. Slowly they started to get some sort of discipline and managed to equalize only to see Bentlands score again.
Half time came and manager Tony McGinn gave them the mother and father of all pep talks, its sure as heck wouldn’t get a X certificate !!
Did it work by Hell it did Firs playing better started to gel and netted four times to run out winners 5-2 and keep their chances of the league title still in their sights!
