Comrie Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Checked on their website and it was Michael McRobert who looked a bombscare with the ball at his feet. His young replacement (who wore 14) was good on the deck but awful at judging headers. Could be a wild ride this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Like the look of Clach's new 3rd kit. Put an order in for a shirt but they haven't any XXXL in stock so I'll have to wait a while.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 It was always going to be a struggle for a first game after a single pre season game against junior opposition. Huntly at home on Saturday will be a better test. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclizine Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) They weren't awful, just looked out of practice, which is understandable. Hopefully things will gel after a few games. I'll copy what I said on FN: Quote Locos were just better all over the park. To be fair, Clach looked like they had a game plan, but were just struggling to implement it. They were a bit better mid second half, the sub Ross Logan looked half decent. The keeper, Daniel Ray, lacked confidence. He wasn't really at fault for any of the goals, but made several handling areas that could've been penalised. In any case, it was nice to get out into the Aberdeenshire sun and see a real game with a decent crowd. Covid restrictions weren't too much of a hassle. Looks like a tenner is going to be the asking price everywhere this season. Edited July 25, 2021 by Cyclizine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Will be down at Clach again tomorrow, Not sure what to expect from Huntly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 While the 5-2 defeat was in no way flattering towards Huntly, Clach showed a few promising signs there. The direct running did cause Huntly issue, but jesus christ they need a decent CB partner for Webb. The big #16 there today was all over the place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2-5 did flatter them a bit, but they took their chances and defended better so that's what counted. #16 seemed bewildered about the whole experience, if that was the tallest guy on the field I'm thinking of, showed an occasional bit of skill though, either he'll get up to pace quickly or he'll be out I'd have thought. Spent both halves by the Huntly goal so didn't really see what went wrong defensively, attacking we were decent though and midfield seemed ok, keeping the ball and getting it forward well for good spells. Gutted I can't make it up to Wick next week, it's one of my favourite away trips, the ground is mad for anyone who hasn't been. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The #16 looked like that lad in school was has never played football but is 6'4 so ends up centre half. I though the Clach #10 and #17 looked bright. Better going forward than the last few times I've seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The Friday night games at Canal Park got decent crowds, so hopefully they can encourage a few more to go to Grant St as well. https://twitter.com/HNM_WClark/status/1425016945498378254?s=19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf it's a big money raising event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Thought Strathspey edged the first half, but Clach fair tore them apart in the second. 4-1, must be nearing midtable at this rate! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Clach game the day was excellent. Two teams going for it, five goals, a penalty, the third Clach goal was an absolute peach of a first touch by the big #15 before slotting it under the keeper. Cracker of a day down the Ferry as well.

Agreed, put my wee comment in the HL chat thread. Anyone who thinks summer football would be a bad idea for the Highland League is insane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
