📢 League Result
🏆 Stonehaven 2 v 2 EELY
⚽️ Matt
⚽️ Ashton F

It was a frustrating 2 points dropped for EELY on their travels to Stonehaven this weekend. East End took the lead through the determined Matty who slid in to prod the ball past the onrushing Stonehaven GK. The first half saw a few half chances created for both teams but the score stayed at 0v1.

Stonehaven levelled the game in the second half with a great long range effort finding the back of the net before East End re took the lead through a low driven Ashton F strike.

Despite enjoying some good spells throughout the game and seeing a lot of the ball, East End struggled to create many chances which would come back to hurt them.

In the last 5 minutes a lack of concentration at the back resulted in the Stonehaven striker finding himself with the ball at his feet inside the box. Moving away from goal he was brought down in the area and the referee decided a penalty to the to the home team. Calmy slotted away the game levelled and despite pushing to find a winner finished 2v2 to the disappointment of the visitors.

League action returns Sunday 31st with a home game against Thistle, 1030am kick off.

Following last week's fixture v Deveronvale being cancelled due to COVID, the boys are raring to go this Sunday down at Stonehaven ⚽️💪🏻

📢 League
🏆 EELY 5 v 0 Ellon
⚽️ Ashton F
⚽️ OG
⚽️ Ashton B
⚽️ Matt
⚽️ Craig

Looking to bounce back after previous weeks disappointments, the boys did incredibly well scoring 5 goals with one going to the top of the list for Goal of the Season!

East End started well dominating the early part of the game and after a brilliant passage of play a through ball for Ashton Forde was calmly sent into the back of the net giving the hosts the lead.

Ellon then got right back into the game battling well in the middle of the park and creating a few chances. Unfortunately for the visitors following an Ashton Forde strike off the post the ball was turned into the back of the net by the Ellon centre half to double East Ends lead before half time.

East End started the 2nd half as they did the 1st and extended their advantage with a beautifully taken goal by Ashton Black. From an Alex through ball it was one touch out the feet and second struck firmly into bottom corner.

Another goal followed from an Ashton B through ball to Matt who's first touch allowed him to get a solid strike on the ball which flew past the keeper from 12 yards out.

Goal of the game (and likely season) saw East End centre half Craig control a bouncing ball from 40+ yards out before unleashing a ferocious volley up and over the keeper into the back of the net. Fantastic technique and great to see Craigy scoring in the right goals this week 🤣

Thanks to Ellon who we have now played for the 3rd and final time competitvely this year. Good luck for the rest of the season!

League action returns Sunday 18th with a home game against Deveronvale, 1030am kick off.

📢 Scottish Cup Round 2
🏆 Deveronvale 2 v 1 EELY
⚽️ Ashton F

A disappointing day for EELY 2008s as they bow out of the Scottish Cup in round 2.

The hosts took the lead with a great piece of work down left side from Vale winger unfortunately saw the ball hit the net off Craigs deflected header. Not long after the Vale were 2v0 up with a bit of hesitation at the back allowing the striker to round the keeper and slot home. A fantastic ball in from Alex was met bravely by Ashton F who rifled his header in off the bar to reduce the deficit just before half time.

The second half went without any goals but a great battle nevertheless.

East End never really found their rhythm on the day and struggled to create the same volume of chances as in recent weeks.

Thanks to Mark and all the boys at Vale for hosting. We wish you all the best for round 3 and look forward to meeting again in our league fixtures.

League action returns Sunday 10th with a home game against Ellon.

Edinburgh Cup Update 🏆

Goals win games.........

It was a tough one to take on Saturday where so many chances were not taken. This ultimately denied the lads a place in the final on Sunday falling 2 points short in the group.

Despite the disappointment the boys can hold their heads high considering the quality of the competition. The experience was a great learning curve on their footballing journey.

All players were a credit to the club and their parents, we couldn't have asked for anymore. Similarly a special thanks to all the parents who travelled, it was brilliant having you all with us 👍🏻

Well done boys and the focus now turns to preparation for the season starting 💪🏻

Final day group stage results:

📢 League Result
🏆 EELY 3 v 1 Ellon Meadows
⚽️ Archie
⚽️ Ashton B
⚽️ Jamie

The boys ended their first ever competitive season with a 3v1 victory over Ellon Meadows at New Advocates. A lot of good football played by both teams and cracking goals too.

A mid table finish is on the cards (other results pending) giving the team something to build on for next year as they look to push higher up the table. A slow start this year and reduced season certainly hasn't helped but the boys have developed and of late are really enjoying their football which is fantastic. They are raring to go for next season already 😂

Keep up the hard work lads 👍🏻

Hopefully have some friendly information to share in due course ⚽️

2008s also send massive congratulations to the 2007 team who wrapped up the A league title following a 2v2 draw at home to Dyce. Fantastic lads, well done 👏🏻🏆

⚽️💥 FOOTBALL IS BACK 💥⚽️

The boys had prepared well for their return to league action by keeping busy throughout lockdown and more recently with some great friendly performances and results:
EELY 3v1 West End
Peterhead 3v0 EELY
