JCFC 6 Newburgh Juniors 2

Another fantastic game with JCFC dominating most of the play. 

Unfortunately another own goal nearly brought our worthy opponents back in to the match early on, but we held position and continued with great passing and some exceptional skill.

Ramzi played fantastic saving some incredible shots.

Our first goal was scored by Billy with a fantastic pass from Jeries. The second came quickly from a header by Kareem, the third was by Kyle who accepted a stunning pass from Luke to make it 3 - 1 at half time.

The second half started very quickly with a second goal from Newburgh Juniors.  Everett made a brilliant goal from a stunning pass from Luke, who picked him out of nowhere.  Dino put in a shot from the left side which soared passed the goal keeper leaving him no chance.  The final goal was scored by Luke who dribbled the ball passed the goal keeper slotting it into the bottom left hand corner leaving the keeper no chance.

The official supporters club were throughly entertained and the locals were impressed by out teamwork and sporting play. 

Well done boys this trip is really turning into something special. 

JCFC 9 AMC 7

Fantastic opening match ended in a win for JCFC.  We actually scored 11 goals, with Jeries and Ramzi scoring in their own goal.

Luke scored 5 wonderful goals in what turned out to be a thriller.  Jeries scored a fantastic goal and Kareem powered one in to make it 7.  Dino shot another and so did Billy.



The official supporters club (with no T-Shirts to show that we are the official supporters club)? were throughly entertained and the locals were clapping some fantastic play from our boys.

Very proud that they have shown some great passing and positional play.

Great opener!

St Leonard's School - Our Accomodation

St Leonard's School, formerly St Leonard's School for Girls, is an independent school, founded by the University of St Andrews in the nineteenth century.

St Leonards School occupies its own campus in a prominent position on the edge of St Andrews, a thriving and charming university town located in Fife, on the east coast of Scotland, just south of the St Andews's historic cathedral.

St Andrews is well known for its colourful history, castle and cathedral ruins, miles of sandy beach and a long-established golf tradition. Pupils have access to some of the world's best golf courses at a surprisingly low cost.

St Andrews is an hour’s drive from Edinburgh or 90 minutes from Glasgow, both of which have international airports, therefore putting the School within two hours of London. There are also frequent train and bus connections to both cities.
