Vets report

The Vets made their annual pilgrimage to the City to play HAC and were blessed with a near full strength squad and the welcome return from injury of Simon Ritchie. There was early disappointment when John Sweeney failed a pre-match fitness test, but we still 14 in the squad and spirits were high.

Those spirits were quickly tested when HAC scored an early goal and Boro struggled to get a hold on the game. We soon found ourselves 2 down, when the same player scored another outstanding goal. This sparked the team into action and we were soon back in the game when Westy scored the first of his four goals for the afternoon. There followed a flurry of Boro goals and another from HAC, but we ended the first half leading 3-4!!

The Vets then felt the full force of Phil Murphy’s ire over our first half efforts and not a word was spoken whilst Phil let rip (isn’t that right Mark!!).

It seemed to have the desired effect as we won the second half 0-4 and were never really tested by HAC. It was good to see Simon Ritchie back in the heart of the Boro midfield. There were further goals from Renwick, Ritchie, Brooks & Rivers.

The afternoon was then rounded off by Bangers & Mash in the HAC Officers Mess, the first time that the Boro had the opportunity to visit the place and very nice it was too!! The celebrations then continued around the corner in the usual watering hole and it was really good to see everyone there for a few hours

A cracking day out.
