2015 was a
big year for sport. Lots of great memories and very good players. Here are my
favourite sporting memories in 2015.
Football
My favourite
memory of football in 2015 was Dunfermline beating Dundee 3-1 in August.
Fayseel El-Bakhtaoui scored twice and Joe Cardle once. The attendance was 3,806
which was a small crowd for Dunfermline. But sadly, Dunfermline was beaten in the
next round to Dundee united 3-1 at Tannadice.

My other
favourite memory is when Stirling Albion beat league leaders Annan Athletic 1-0
at Forthbank stadium on the 19th of December. Phil Johnston scored
in the 77th minute to make Stirling go 5th in the
Scottish league 2.
Tennis
Britain won
the Davis Cup, for the first time in 79 years. Winning 3-1 in matches. Andy
Murray won 3 games, one with his brother in the doubles and twice in the
singles. Kyle Edmund got beat by David Goffin 3-2 in sets. He was 2-0 up but
the power of David Goffin was too much for the young Brit.

Andy Murray won against David Goffin and Ruben
Bemelmans. The Murray brothers then beat David Goffin and Steve Darcis in the
doubles. The Stirling Barmy Army sang lots of songs in Belgium.
Elsewhere in
tennis Novak Djokivic won the Australian open, Wimbledon and the US open. Stan
Wawrinka won his first grand slam in the French Open
Cricket
England won
the ashes 3-2 599 days after they were whitewashed in Australia in 2013/2014.
Joe Root got 2 hundreds, one at Cardiff and the other at Trent Bridge in
Nottingham. In the same test at Trent Bridge Stuart Broad took 8-15 and he
bowled out the clueless Australians for 60.
My other
favourite cricket memory was when Scotland made the Cricket World Cup. They
didn’t win any games but they came close in 3 of the games against Bangladesh,
New Zealand and Afghanistan. The other games were a thrashing to say the
least.

2015 was a
great year for sport and hopefully 2016 can be even better than 2015. We are
looking forward to the Euro 2016 finals and the England cricket team are
playing Pakistan in the summer.
