A draw and a win for the first game of the new year

It was a freezing cold day in Bonnyrigg and the match reporter struggled to take notes for fear of suffering from frostbite on the fingers. The boys were playing on the astro turf pitch which saved the new christmas present kits from getting too dirty on their first outing. We played 2 matches of 7 a side, there was a plan to play more but the opposition had disappeared due to the cold.
