Sport For All Tournament - Carnegie Centre September  2007

With late withdrawals from Leeds & Warrender, Lancaster, Durham, Menzieshill and ourselves competed in the 2007 'Sport for All' Youth (1992+) tournament.

A series of group matches were played during which Dunfermline recorded two wins over Durham (7-1 & 5-3) and two good wins over Menzieshill (10-3 & 6-2) in what were well controlled matches. Both matches against the favourites Lancaster were lost(6-1 & 9-5).

The final proved to be a very exciting match with Dunfermline surprising Lancaster by winning the first quarter 2-1 with one goal each from Darren & Christopher Campbell. Lancaster struck back and won the second quarter 4-3 to leave the score at 5-5 at the half way stage. Dunfermline's goals coming from Craig Wilkinson (2) and Christopher Campbell.

With our young team starting to tire Lancaster won the next quarter 3-0 to go 8-5 ahead into the final quarter winning the final quarter 4-1 to win the match & the competition 12-6. Christopher Campbell scored Dunfermline's goal in the final quarter.

The Dunfermline team played well throughout the competition which marks another stage in the development of our young team. Particularly pleasing were the two well taken goals from Craig Wilkinson and the defensive performance of Joe Thomson in the final against one of the best young teams in GB at present.

Dunfermline scorers throughout the Tournament were - Christopher Campbell - 13; Darren Campbell - 10; Jordan Wood, Zach Thomson & Craig Wilkinson - 3; Andrew Melville 2 & Joe Thomson.
