Mixed Bag now back in Scariff

Following our summer playing on the grass in Tulla, we’re now back playing on the Astroturf in Scariff. The pitch is floodlit, and is at Scariff GAA Club. This is a large pitch and can accommodate good numbers – so come along and have a great, fast hour of football.

Result: Torry Tigers 6 – 3 Mixed Bag United

5 Sep 2009, Los Montesinos, Costa Blanca, Spain

Despite a promising start in which we responded immediately with an equaliser after the Torry Tigers opened the scoring on 5 minutes, Mixed Bag trailed 4-1 at half time and had to dig deep for a rugged fight-back during the second 45 minutes in the gruelling heat. At 4-3 the game was very much in the balance, but when the Torry Tigers made it 5-3, it left us too much to do.

Mixed Bag left the field with our heads high and were consoled with unbeaten runs in both pool and table football challenges against our hosts at the very enjoyable post-match refreshments in a local bar.
