Under 13’s at home to Bayside

Bayside 12’s traveled through to our home ground of Overstenton park for our mid week league game and the reverse fixture from only a few days previous in which Strollers won 8-1.

Both teams started well and Bayside worked hard at defending a Strollers team who started on the attack from the start and were determined to continue where they left off from the previous game.

The Bayside goalkeeper saved a good attempt at goal from Kerys Blythe early on but, soon after, a Bayside defender handled the ball in the box giving Strollers a penalty in which Kerys Blythe stepped up to score low into the bottom right corner.

Rachel lee found some space in the box shortly after this and scored her first goal for the Strollers to make it 2-0.

The game progressed at a fast pace and both teams worked the ball well. Stroller’s Kerys Blythe scored a hat-trick in the first half and with Shannon Reekie getting a goal from a well taken corner from Denver Hopkins this took Strollers into half time  five goal lead.

Half time: 5-0

The second half saw a determined Bayside team who clearly didn’t want a repeat of the scoreline in the previous game and strong tackles were being made in all areas of the park. Bayside had some good attempts at goal in second half but, equally, Daniela Florez made excellent saves with support from the Stroller’s defence.

Our girls went on to score a further three goals to end the game 8-0. With 16 goals scored in the space of five days since the season restart, our under 13’s are looking strong going into the second half of the season.

Stroller’s under 13’s next game will be at home when welcome Real Fife on Saturday.
