Glasgow Deaf Athletic Football Club

‼️MATCHDAY‼️

After our draw last Wednesday, we’re looking to build on the positive performance and get 3 points this evening against TCB who are still looking for their first point of the season despite some impressive performances. Will be a tough game tonight but the team are raring to go ⚽️

‼️RESULT‼️

Another great battle with TJ Slovaks who played with Fly GK most of the first half and used it well, going 2-0 up before Glasgow Deaf pulled one back after scoring into an empty net. Equaliser arrived at start of second half before Slovaks went ahead again with a lovely back post goal. Gaffer with a tactical switch to pressure Slovaks and counter attack worked well as we scored another equaliser before the game got a bit chaotic towards the end as both teams chased a winner!

Team felt they could have won the game but momentum building for next weeks game against TCB. ⚽️

MOTM - Scott Lyon. Young Scotty getting better every week, worked hard in defence and attack, scored a lovely goal 👑

Special mention to our stand in GK, Billy for making some crucial saves and assisting two of the goals 🔥

‼️MATCH DAY‼️

Match day against TJ Slovak Lads who have been playing in Superleague the last few seasons. They have a few wins already this season so they have momentum. We have had some great battles against them in the past ⚽️

‼️RESULT‼️

Kept Ambassadors Futsal Glasgow at bay for the first 10 minutes but then they showed why they are Champions by getting a few quick goals and then running away with the game in the second half. 🔥

PJ Dolan with the solo goal to continue his streak. 👑

Team showing progress and youths still learning the dynamics of futsal. 📈

TJ Slovaks next Wednesday after their stint in Superleague last few seasons.

‼️GAME DAY‼️

Glasgow Deaf play against last seasons Glasgow League Champions, Ambassadors Futsal Glasgow, who are undefeated so far. They have started on hot form with a few dominating score-lines and will be favourites for the league this season. We will need to defend and attack aggressively tonight to throw them off their game.

Full squad tonight including another youth player making his debut, Lewis Maguire, who has experience in futsal with St Vincent’s last season. It’s great to see the increase in youth playing futsal not just with Glasgow Deaf but other teams in the leagues around Scotland. 👏🏻

Let’s go! ⚽️

‼️ RESULT ‼️

Slow start from Glasgow Deaf as Strathaven scored 4 in the first half to lead 4-1 at HT.

An inspiring HT talk from the Gaffer had us playing some of our best futsal this season, especially in attack as we created a number of chances. Still a few things to work on defensively but plenty of positives last night. Congratulations to Strathaven Dynamo Futsal who maintain their 100% record in the league. 🔥

MOTM - Gareth Nzelwa. Scored a hat trick and was up and down the court like the Duracell Bunny 🐰

We play the Champions, Ambassadors Futsal Glasgow next Wednesday who are continuing last seasons red hot form 👑

‼️GAME DAY ‼️

4th game of the season against a relatively new side, Strathaven Dynamo. They have had a great start to the season so it will be another challenging game for our side who have had some great performances but no results to show for it.

Let’s go! ⚽️
