Another busy time

On Friday I took a trip up to Forfar. I had been asked by the PR company behind the Homecoming Scottish Cup to photograph some the events they had organised as a taster to the forfar v Glasgow Rangers clash. This involved a trip to Strathmore Primary where the kids had a chance to view the cup as well as learn some football skills from SFA coaches. It was then onto Lochside Sports Centre where the cup was on display for the public. Forfar Athletic Chairman Neill Wilson was on hand to receive some support from locals.

On Saturday I covered six games over three hours for the Evening Telegraph and Courier. This consisted of two amateur games before moving onto Kinnoull v Ballingry. I decided I would then take a trip to Jeanfield Swifts game against Bankfoot. I had been asked to capture former St Johnsone player Jim Weir in action for Bankfoot and as I knew he would be playing decided a trip would be worthwhile before heading down to the North Inch and the rugby. Perthshire were playing Dunfermline in a Premier 3 clash. Lastly some Basketball with Perth Phoenix and City of Edinburgh. Altogether a busy but satisfying couple of days.
