Today was the culmination of this 4 Team Tournament hosted by Whitletts Victoria. Yesterday’s games had seen Whitletts lose 1-2 to Annbank United Community, followed by Darvel beating Kilmarnock U19 4-3 in the Semi-Finals. I prefer to watch the actual home club if possible, so it meant the 3rd/4th place match that would be my game.

Although it’s a 3G ground, it does have spectator access on three sides as well as a seated stand, although typically, with no hatched area in front, it means you can have an obscured view if you don’t pick your seat carefully, as people stand right in front, totally oblivious of their ignorance. The clubhouse was open throughout and there’s also a snack bar too.

Whitletts thought they’d taken an early lead, but a throw in from the right, which went in off the far post, was rightly disallowed, as it went in directly without anyone getting a touch. They did take the lead ten minutes before halftime though, when a long throw on the right was poked in from three yards. The second goal came on the hour mark, when a diagonal cross from the left was headed in at the far post. Kilmarnock never looked like getting back in it and it was no surprise to see Whitletts add a third goal five minutes from the end, scoring from a 20 yard free kick that went straight through the wall.

So, the hosts took third place and for the record, Darvel beat Annbank United 3-1 in the final.
