Saturday Morning Football for the U11’s and U9’s

Both teams were away from home with us both playing at Pitreavie. Firstly like to thank Bayside and Dunfermline FC for welcoming us.

The U9’s took part in the super 5’s festival which is run and organised by Bayside. The team worked hard and played great football, they may of got a little distracted as they seen the U11’s turn up to start their game against Dumfermline FC, but as usual the u9’s kept their team strength and most importantly had fun playing. the u9’s team are now developing into a 7 aside team and we hope to be participating in the SFA festival next Saturday as a 7 aside team.

The U11’s took on Dunfermline FC Girls, Strollers at present have a few injuries and our latest one just last night.  2 new girls and one of the u9’s very kindly filled in and they all had a great game, as always the strollers team played like they had been playing for years as a team and the Dunfermline parents made some very kind comments about our team work and work ethic. The girls played well as a team with lots of passing and getting into space, Strollers worked the ball from back to front putting Dunfermline under pressure, but Dunfermline never gave up, they challenged every ball and worked hard.

Our captain today was Denver Hopkins who showed she makes a great Captain, giving direction, encouragement and positive comments for good play by her team mates, this earning Denver the fair play card today.

For Dunfermline we gave their goal keeper the fair play, she pulled of some great saves and kept calm and her concentration throughout the full game.
