Currie Fc in Barcelona - Cup Semi Final

Another early rise for the yellow brigade as they headed in to the final 4 in Football Cup Barcelona.

Completely different weather conditions this morning with the sun splitting the pavements and sun cream being lashed on galore.

The semi final would be played in front of a capacity crowd and our challenge would be against the Moldovan champions, Da Vinci!

Team line up…

Ferry Robertson Tollins Beattie Neill Watson Di Angelo.

The boys were nervous (as were the coaches and the fans) against a team that had scored 24 goals in three group games.

Playing in green one of our boys shouted ‘pretend your playing Hibs’ but perhaps should’ve hoped it was the current Hearts team we were playing.

Two early goals for the Moldovans meant there would be no cocktails to celebrate for us. The changes of Herd White and Hanratty added some energy as the sun continued to shine.

Our boys battled hard against a quick tidy outfit that nicked a third late on.

We can say the best team won but the boys can hold their head high.

It’s Da Vinci that will paint the town red as our boys focus on grabbing third place against the local Spaniards CD Almeda
