Johnstone Burgh Football Club

Stevie Farrell checks in … 🇦🇹

Today Manorview foundation had the opportunity to team up with the fantastic community football club Johnstone Burgh near Lynnhurst Hotel Johnstone Burgh@ is full of amazing people who gave their day to provide the local children with a free football camp. It was organised to be fun, free and inclusive and the kids looked like they were having a blast! They did a fantastic job of keeping the kids entertained and active, truly special to see 50 happy kids, active and enjoying the sunshine. The Manorview Foundation provided a free lunch with the lynnhurst team preparing over 320 chicken nuggets, chips and tomato pasta to make its way to Keanie park with plenty of diluting juice to keep them hydrated. Some kids enjoyed multiple visit up to the buffet and to say our leader Susan felt the appreciation in the room is an understatement. The thanks could be hear from the other side of Johnstone I’m sure. Those boys like a chant and a song. What a great bunch of kids, the pleasure was all ours to help.

Knightswood came close to scoring their fourth goal of the afternoon in the 46th minute. Ryan Porter lined up a free kick from almost 40 yards from goal, then struck a brilliant right foot shot but the ball was superbly tipped on to the crossbar by Burgh goalkeeper Jamie Burns. The Burgh came close to levelling the match in the 52nd minute when a direct free kick from 20 yards had Jude Cummins produce a powerful right foot shot that looked to be heading into the left hand corner of the net, but Jonathon Turner made a brilliant save. Knightswood had the next chance of the match in the 55th minute. Ryan Porter produced some lovely skill on the right wing, then struck a left foot shot from 16 yards which was deflected just wide of the left hand post. Just before the hour mark, Johnstone Burgh had a great chance to make it 3-3. Nicholas Gallagher's brilliant controlled pass found Sam McGarva, but with just Turner to beat, his right foot shot from 8 yards went just wide of the right hand post. The Burgh's next chance to level the match came in the 68th minute when Jude Cummins put through a lovely pass to Nicholas Gallagher, but his low right foot shot from 14 yards was saved by Turner. The Johnstone side looked the more likely team to score the next goal, and it was Noah Grady who was next to try his luck, but his right foot shot from 20 yards went wide of the right hand post in the 70th minute. Johnstone Burgh were putting everything into trying to get the all important equaliser and had the next chance to do so in the 77th minute. From a corner kick, Zach Sharpe passed the ball to Niall Graham, but his first time right foot shot from 20 yards was deflected over the crossbar. At this stage of the match, it was all Johnstone Burgh, and they had yet another good chance to level the match from a direct free kick from 20 yards, but Zach Sharpe's right foot shot went over the crossbar. Knightswood did well to weather the storm, and against the run of play, scored the killer fourth goal in the 82nd minute. Ben McGregor's long range pass found Mac Massie who showed excellent control and skill before producing a lovely pass to Alexander Thomson, who from 16 yards, lashed a brilliant right foot shot on the bounce high into the net. The Glasgow side had a great chance to score their 5th goal of the match in the 84th minute when Mac Massie had the goal at his mercy from a ball across the face of goal, but his right foot shot from 7 yards was brilliantly saved by Jamie Burns. With Knightswood looking comfortable, the game was about to take a dramatic turn of events in the second minute of added time. Zach Sharpe's harmless looking punt up the park from midway inside his own half was dreadfully controlled by Jonathon Turner, and the ball appeared to creep over the line despite his best efforts to keep it out, giving the Burgh their third goal and a lifeline. It was not to be for Johnstone Burgh, and it would be Knightswood who held on to secure a 4-3 victory to be crowned the winners of WoSFDL Conference Playoff Final.
