Poland Trip

Local side Lomond United AFC recently returned from a trip to Poland, where they played a pre-season friendly against KS Chelminianka from Chelmno. They were based in Gdansk for 5 nights, and after a 3 hour bus trip through the Polish countryside, they arrived in their kilts to be met b the press who accompanied them the whole day!

The President and Mayor of Chelmno welcomed the team with a Town Hall reception where every player received gifts and a plaque was presented to the team.

During the game itself, the home side (who are professionals) were stunned when Lomond United were twice winning, but lost in the end 6-3.

The Falkland amatuers left the field to a standing ovation from the large home crowd - an incredible experience for the players who recorded the game and the day onto a DVD.

Lomond United have been invited back to Poland in July 09 to take part in a 6 team tournament involving 5 professional teams.
