S3 – Davis Cummings - The Tangerine Dream

Under 14 Football

2008-12-03T06:48:00.001-08:00

Morgan recorded their third consecutive victory in the League last night. They defeated Baldragon 5-3 at DISC. The match was played in very cold conditions and both teams did their best to make it an enjoyable spectacle for the dedicated fans who braved the bad weather. Morgan also did their best to keep the match exciting and to increase the stress of the management team by letting a five goal lead slip near the end!
It has been a fantastic 100% start this year and we hope to continue our fine form into 2009.

The lights on the Stobswell Community Christmas tree were switched on last night in a very pleasant gathering. As many of you will have already seen, the tree, a Norway spruce, looks excellent with its coloured lighting on. Quite a number of people from Stobswell community turned out for the event as well as staff, pupils and parents from Morgan and our three primary schools. Well done to Clepington, Glebelands and Dens Road Primary School pupils for their musical input as well as our own brass ensemble and Morgan singers for providing the musical accompaniment to the carol singing. Santa was also present and MEP Mr Ian Hudghton did the countdown to switching on the lights. The event was rounded off with hot mince pies and warm drinks provided in Stobswell church courtesy of the congregation. Our thanks go to the local councillors, Liz Fordyce and Ken Lynn who organised the event, Reverend McLaren for his input and Stobswell Church for the refreshments. Thank you also once again to the members of our own brass ensemble and to Mrs Simpson and Mr Murphy who organised and accompanied them as well as other staff and pupils who attended from Morgan.
