Saturday saw our new under 13’s Strollers Girls head to Dundee to play in their first under 13’s festival.
The girls were full of excitement and nervous energy in the build up to the first game of the day, asking lots of questions. When the first game kicked off, these nerves were quickly gone as the game started at a fast tempo with everyone looking to impress and do their best. The Strollers kept to their positions well and stayed strong which increased their confidence as the game progressed, allowing them to get into a good passing rhythm creating some good chances. In the end the first game finished in a draw, partly due to some great saves from both goalkeepers.
The subsequent three games were evenly balanced affairs, with every team working hard to try and out play their opponents. The Strollers epitomised this hard work by leaving the festival undefeated.
The festival was in a great location and very well organised, helping the girls to enjoy the day – which was ultimately what it was all about. Our girls left the festival upbeat after some great performances and are looking forward with confidence to the next festival in two weeks time and the league season ahead.
