East Fife back to back

Friday 19th June –

The first of our two back to back league games against East Fife 13’s saw the Strollers Girls 13’s come out 2-1 winners, gaining a valuable 3 points. It was a great game of football between two very equally matched teams.

Saturday 27th June –

In the reverse fixture against East Fife, our 13’s girls finished the first half of the 2015 season with a 4-2 defeat which saw the visitors get revenge for the 2-1 defeat only days earlier.

Despite the result, our girls played some fantastic football with great passing and movement throughout the match. Kerys Blythe showed some silky football getting our two goals, with the 2nd one flying into the top corner with the ‘keeper helpless.

Theo Mitchel played particularly well in goals for us in the first half, taking charge of her area and making some good saves.

The game finished 2-2 at the interval and out girls pushed on the 2nd half looking for a winner.  Both goalkeepers saved their team mates on numerous occasions with both teams threatening to score as the half wore on, with our keeper for the second half, Daniela Florez, making three great saves to keep strollers in the game.

Brodie Clark showed her usual great stamina and skill, using her feet to great effect during the game.  At the back the usual strong pairing of Emma Swanson and Courtney Porter proved they are defenders to be reckoned with, denying the opposition time and space on the ball.

Betheney Scott and Rachel Lee showed their great pace on the wing, getting through the East Fife defence a few times, only to see numerous shots saved by the good East Fife ‘keeper.

Shannon Reekie and Ynes Kerr showed good strength throughout, holding the ball up well and allowing others to get up field.

East Fife scored a great third goal and in the last couple of minutes of the game and, as the Strollers pushed for an equaliser, they grabbed the decisive fourth goal which effectively killed the game.

Overall, this was a great game of football and was a fitting end to the first half of the season.  We are all proud of how well our 13’s have done so far this season, and they should be proud of themselves for all their hard work and dedication.

Great work equals great things.  Well done to you all.
