Under 13’s vs Lomond Colts

Lomond Colts had a strong first half in this game against our Under 13’s but the Strollers found their form after the break and went on to win the game comfortably, 3-0.

A bizarre injury was sustained to our own Rachel Lee when she was standing off the pitch as a sub at the time. One of the Lomond Colts’ players tripped and crashed into Rachel, headbutting her in the process. It was a nasty head knock that saw Rachel have sit out the rest of the game due to feeling very dizzy and a bit sore after the collision.

Daniela Flores saved the day when she took a turn in goals, allowing Betheney Scott to go outfield and use her speed on the wing – which resulted in her scoring early in the 2nd half.

Kerys Blythe went on to finish from a corner soon after – only after a bit of confusion, when it seemed Denver Hopkins’ delivery had actually gone in. The ref thought otherwise and the game continued; Kerys was quickest to react though and prodded the ball into the net.

Courtney Porter and Emma Swanson had great games at the back, managing all that Lomond Colts could throw at them; and Brodie Clark worked as hard as ever in the middle of the park showing fantastic pace and athleticism throughout.

Shannon Reekie was unlucky on a couple of occasions when she almost broke through the Colts’ defence, showing great strength on the ball. Ynes Kerr also worked hard on the day and stood strong for the entire match.

Congratulations to the girls on a deserved victory. We also wish Jay of the Lomond Colts well, and hope her nose is OK!
