Group F
Lineup - Smart, Hill, Gebbie, G.Kerr, Hickey, Gray, F.Munro, McLaughlin (Malitoli), Crawford, D.Kerr (Maclean), McMahon (Shearer)
We actually played pretty well here and deserved at least a draw from the match but we just couldnt find that all important goal. Still, there are encouraging signs to take forward.

A good win against a stubborn Slovenian side who created a few chances themselves. Unfortunately for us Finland drew with France and having beaten Slovenia in the first group game we have to beat them to go through. McLaughlin won his 50th cap here.

We qualify for the knockouts here with a fine win. Early goals from Gray and McMahon eased any nerves and although they pulled a goal back before half-time we managed to nick a 3rd late on. Finland have qualified anyway as one of the best 3rd placed teams.

2nd Round
Lineup - Smart, Malitoli, Gebbie, G.Kerr (Dunn), Hickey, Gray (R.Byrne), F.Munro, J.Byrne, Crawford (Devlin), D.Kerr, McMahon
Having beaten Turkey in a pre-tournament friendly I was confident about repeating that feat and so it proved to be as we edged them out in a 7 goal thriller. McMahon was our hero as he netted another 2 to take him up to 5 for the competition. The board wanted me to reach the 2nd round so I have gone over and above their expectations.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
I dont ******* believe this! We thrash Spain to reach the semis and we fully deserve to do so too! We got off to a great start as we were 2up after only 11min and then in the 2nd half we were given a penalty which McMahon tucked away to get his 2nd. We missed so many chances that we should have won by a lot more in truth but there was a downside as Gray and Maclean went off injured and Gebbie got sent-off. We actually ended the match with 9 men!

WE REACH THE FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!
Billy McMahon scored yet again as we managed to beat Poland to get into the final. He also missed a penalty though! Callum Smart was the MOM as he kept a clean sheet as Poland threw everything at us but we managed to keep them out.

Alas it was not to be as we lose here to the Dutch. I can have no complaints really as they battered us but we took the lead through an early McMahon penalty and after that it was all about us trying to hold on. We have had some tournament though!!!
