Kelburne vs Drumchapel Afc Sundays

GDSFC ONLY SPORT CHAMPIONSHIP

With the forecast so poor and so many games off yesterday and today, when did you first feel this one was definitely going ahead?

I had been texting a local ref from the area, so knew early doors it was playable. Added extra layers and a snorkel to the kit bag.

Once the game was on and conditions actually held up, how did the pitch and weather affect your approach to managing the match?

The speed of the ball off the surface with the extra water and players maybe misreading that always in your mind when conditions are like that.

With Kelburne high in the table and Drumchapel coming in as underdogs, did the balance of the game shift at any point from your perspective?

Kelburne in full control throughout and felt they had more gears to go up if needed. 1

Was there a moment or decision that you felt really set the direction of how the match unfolded?

Think the comfortable 4-1 lead at HT had the game sealed up

What’s the main thing you take away from today into your next appointment?

Good to be back at it after the Christmas break. Bit rusty at times | today but enjoyed myself and take that forward into next weeks games.
