Saturday 22nd February saw the Under 13’s take part in the last of the East Region SFA Winter Festivals in Perth before the 2015 season kicks off.
The girls played around two hours of football at the festival, which was played out in freezing conditions. It didn’t take long for our girls to get into their stride, with good link up play and some great vision shown throughout.
Our young squad worked hard on the day and, defensively, Courtney and Emma showed again that they are a strong partnership at the back – helping out their ‘keeper, Betheney, on a number of occasions.
Towards the end of the two hours we were down to six girls due to a couple of injuries. Despite the tiredness and the testing weather conditions, the girls kept working hard to get a goal against a very experienced Bayside team – the opposition eventually running out deserved winners.
Like many of the other players on the day, the Stroller’s girls couldn’t wait to get back into the heat of the cars to head back down the road after a great morning of football.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the SFA East Region for organising this and all the previous pre-season festivals, which have definitely helped the girls prepare for the coming season.
Our first game of the 2015 season is on Sunday 7th March, when we are away to Letham Tangie Juniors.
