Stalemate at Overstenton for under 13’s

Strollers u13’s girls drew 1-1 against Raith Rovers u13’s girls in Wednesday night’s league match at a very damp Overstenton.

Aimee Headland opened the scoring for the Strollers midway through the first half after a sustained period of pressure on the Rovers goal.  Raith came back into the game well and nearly scored but were denied when Strollers goalkeeper, Megan Philp, pulled off a great diving save to deny the Rovers striker.

Raith came out determined to score in the second half but some great defending by Michaela Lawson seemed to have stopped the Kirkcaldy team from getting their goal. Five minutes from the end, however, Rovers scored with an excellent volley which cannoned in of the post to draw things level.

The Strollers midfield did well to stop any further pressure on their goal with midlfielder, Jemma Hall, making several good tackles in the middle of the park.  The match ended in a 1-1 draw after good performances from both sides.
