“A tough second round game in the illustrious OBBA CUP!

Sirius two reserves were needed straight away, nigglers Gustav and Mattias failed to enter the field. Sirius received and set up a cage in the middle. In 2nd turn Andreas Eriksson gave Thomas Gravesen of Celtic a Glaswegian kiss, a compliment returned some moments later in the game when Andreas got killed. In the big ruck at the line of scrimmage Hjalmar slipped during his charge and things got messy. Lundin got tackled and the ball got free, albeit surronded by wrestling players. Everyone tried to get hold of the ball again. Finally Lundin had repositioned himself and could run down one flank. Celtic tried to reach him but Christoffer gave Sirius a 1-0 lead.

Could Celtic equalise before half time? They were short of time and Sirius fans decided to slow them down by throwing a rock onto McManus. Vennegor of Hesselink played his part as target player. He certainly got targeted by a well directed boot that had seen his career, and life, ended if not some apothecary had intervened. Sirius could return to dressing room still in a 1-0 lead.

In 2nd half Craig Beattie had some nifty moves and showed of his ball carrying ability.”
