Bubbling along nicely under the first 11

[JRSLEFTPEG]

I had a new Qos experience last night . Instead of watching the first team as usual, I looked on as a young Queens team made up of mostly 17 and 18 year old boys played Bonnyton of Kilmarnock in a cup final in Sanquhar. As you will know, it's at this age where there is a huge failure rate in who can keep progressing to first team level , with most not able to take the last tremendously difficult next step. On a very wet night in difficult conditions, I watched a right ding dong of a game with both teams showing a lot of grit , will to win and skill as well. My mates boy Liam Douglas is an aggressive anchor in the middle of the park and watch out for a little guy in midfield called Dom McMahon. The boy has a lot of ability and poise, believe me . One to watch. Ps I nearly forgot to add it was 1-1 after 90 mins and with light fading it was straight to pens . We got beat on pens with our last 'missed' spot kick bouncing a yard over the line and back out. It was given as a miss but to be fair , there was no way the ref had the angle side on to see it like I did. An enjoyable night anyway !
