Kilchoan FC yesterday took on a team from The World, which boasted players from as far away as Hong Kong, Holland and Glasgow. The visiting team started a little short of players, so some Kilchoan members swapped sides - and, after half time, swapped back, much to the confusion of some of the watchers.
Early pressure from The World foundered against some spectacular saves by Justin Cameron who had returned to his usual night-before training regime following the Coll debacle.
The scoring for Kilchoan was opened by Richard van de Peer....
....followed almost immediately by a goal from Callum MacPhail. These were the start of a feast of goals for Kilchoan, with The World only clawing one back, from a penalty, before half time.
For most of the half, the play was firmly up The World's end of the pitch. The balance began to shift a little after half time, when The World brought on some of their younger players, most of whom taught the adults on both teams a thing or two about how to play good football. Despite this, Kilchoan continued to score, with Callum netting his hat trick to make it 7-1, after which Danny Anderson from distant Acharacle made it 7-2.
The final score, in front of a capacity crowd of over 150 who thoroughly enjoyed a good game and beautiful weather, was 10-2. At least, after this, Kilchoan can once again hold its head high in the international footballing world.
