Balloan celebrate double cup success in street league in Inverness
BALLOAN teams dominated the first Street League competitions of the season with victories in the under-15 and under-17 League Cup finals.
Taking on Thistle Colts in the under-15 section, Balloan City used the wind to their advantage in the first half, going in 1-0 in front at the break.
Colts had the wind in their favour after the interval, but were caught out by a few goals on the counter attack as City eased to victory with Alexander Heggie picking up the man of the match award.
In the under-17 final, Balloan Thistle produced a strong second half showing to overcome Alness United 3-0 and win the trophy.
Alness were made to pay for not making their first half pressure count as Thistle hit the front in the second half, Lewis Mackay's powerful run opening the scoring.
The momentum quickly shifted and was now with the Balloan team who moved further in front thanks to a deflected goal from man of the match Kuba Lopaszynski.
Alness attempted to make changes in a bid to find their way back into the match, but their hopes were ended late on as good work by Lewis Mackay saw him complete his brace.
