After the trip to Ayr midweek, a few ICT fans decided to go to Grant Street park at 12 noon to watch the Cup Final between Dalneigh and Balloan FC, for boys of 15 years and under. We knew boys in both sides so were being "neutral" in our support - strange, but true, we cheered both sides when they scored. We really wanted to see a few goals! and, what a treat the game was - Dalneigh won 4 - 3 and the game was played at break-neck speed, Dalneigh side seemed a bit younger and smaller than the Balloan team but, despite that, all the boys were committed to every ball and every pass.
It's just as well ICT won today (well done our boys, at last) or else we might be watching the schoolboys more often, for the commitment and the goals. Incidentally it was mentioned that the crowd at Grant Street today was more than those that turn up to watch Clach most days - how poor is that.
Well done Dalneigh and I'm sure Balloan will do well next time around.
