Saturday

Some images taken for press on Saturday. Three games in 2 hours. Much more straight forward than the previous week.

Luncarty v Ballingry

Perthshire v Murrayfield Wanderers

A little luck and putting yourself in the right place.

On Saturday I was covering Junior football for the local newspaper. The plan was to cover part of the game being played at Bankfoot and then head down to cover the second half of Kinnoull who were playing Dundee North End. Well that was the original plan. I had another job to do first and set off for Bankfoot arriving at 2.40pm thinking the game kicked off at 2.30pm. Unfortunetly no one had told me the game had kicked off early due a wedding (one of the Crossgate players getting married). The game was finished when I arrived and I left with no pictures.

Change of plan - arrived at Kinnoull, shot last 10 mins of first half and began shooting the second with the knowledge that I would now have to also cover another game in Scone (15mins away with Saturday traffic) in order to have enough pictures for different editions of the newspaper.

This is where the luck set in. Kinnoull scored within the first few minutes of the second half giving me a celebration shot for the paper.

Then it was off to Scone where I was hoping to catch the last 20mins of their game against Newburgh. Got to the game and the score was 0-0. In the last 20 mins Scone went 1-0 up only to be pegged back 1-1 courtesy of a disputed penalty and then Newburgh scored in the last couple of minutes to steal the game.

Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you have to be in the right place for the luck to happen!
