Stroller’s under 13’s girls travelled to play Breadalbane at Grantully in rural Perthshire last weekend in an exciting game that finished 3-2 to the visitors. The home side opened the scoring early on against the run of play when, after excellent build up play, their striker finished well. Despite the setback, Strollers kept pressing and were rewarded when Lucy MacLean’s excellent pass set up Amy Bunting to score on the stroke of half time to pull things level.
After the restart, more pressing from the visitors saw Nioni Robertson and Lauren Byers come close to add to the scoring. As the half wore on, Amy Bunting scored another two good goals to put the Strollers 3-1 ahead and complete her hat-trick.
Breadalbane came back in to it and replied with a goal five minutes from time and continued to press the visitors in the final minutes as they searched for an equaliser, but Strollers girls held on for a good away victory.
Well done to both sides for providing a great game for the spectators and coaches.
