Stirling based club win The Blackpool Cup Did you know GSR Central Academy the Kippen based under 17 team who play in the Central Scotland Football Association League have brought home the prestigious Blackpool Cup. The team was undefeated in the round robin section having faced teams from Northern Ireland, England, and Ireland. It allowed them to proceed to the semi-final of the competition where the faced the tournament favourites, Lurgan Town FC from Northern Ireland. GSR Central Academy comprising of boys from across Stirlingshire, many of whom hope to secure a scholarship to American Universities, played some of their best football since their earlier season Scottish Cup run that took then to the Quarter Finals. Played at Preston North End’s training complex, the team secure a fine 3 nil semi-final win over Lurgan Town. This took GSR to the final where they faced Parkvilla FC from Ireland. Despite the loss of 3 players to injury and their keeper having to come off at half time, GSR looked the more likely to score as the game was played at a frantic paced in the Easter sunshine. It finished 0-0 and went straight to penalties with GSR winning 5-4 in the shoot-out. Stirling University Masters student and team Manager Mark Carroll said, “It was a fantastic achievement for the team and showed great character and resolve to play 5 games over the two days and be undefeated in all of them. I am really proud of the achievement for everybody involved in the team.” Club president former Scotland international star Dave McPherson echoed that.” We know we have some quality players in the team; but it is never easy in tournament football to bring everything together at the right time. It is a testament to the work of the coaching staff that they managed to get the most out of the team when it mattered most.” SAVE THE DATE!! Saturday 3rd December Christmas Concert After nearly 3 years of silence, we are back in business!! We cannot wait to present a lovely concert of Christmas music and to introduce to you John Logan, Head of Brass at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. John is moving to Kippen this Summer and is keen to be involved in village life. So, between us, we will be bringing our students from the Conservatoire to perform a rich and varied programme of Christmas classics old and new. The programme will include baritone, Daniel Barratt, who has sung here several times before and is now studying for his master’s degree at the Royal College of Music in London and soprano, Claire Lumsden, who is in her second year of masters at the RCS. John is going to bring a 10-piece brass ensemble which will raise the roof, I’m sure! This is going to be a splendid concert at the beginning of Advent which will hopefully bring you into the Christmas season with smiles on your faces and warmth in your hearts! Please put the date in your diary and bring your friends. Kathleen McKellar Ferguson (Coubrough) www.theweevine.org 29
