Under 13’s vs Real Fife

With only two points separating the Strollers and Real Fife, this had the makings of a good game from the off.

Strollers were on the attack from the first whistle and the pace of the game was extremely fast. The girls played some great passing football but it was the pace of Real Fife which saw them grab the first goal of the game.

Strollers got straight back into the game and very quickly got the equaliser from a corner from by Denver Hopkins which was finished off by Kerys Blythe. At this point Strollers were keeping Real Fife in their half and with Brodie Clark’s pace it allowed Rachel lee to slot home the second. With good football from both teams it was always going to be a closely fought match which was proving to be the case. With good work in the midfield the ball was played to Kerys Blythe who quickly played her way through Real Fife’s defence and got Stroller’s third goal of the match.

Real Fife again showed that they are a strong side with good players and came back at us with pace to get their second just before half time.

Half time: 3-2

With such a close and competitive game there was always going to be physical challenges on the pitch but, when a two handed push from a Real Fife player was given to Real Fife rather than the other way, the Strollers parents had strong words for the ref.  With the parents calmed down and the ref admitting he made a mistake the game continued.

Both keepers has some good saves but the best was from a long distance strike from Real Fife which Betheney Scott got her hands to and pushed over the bar.

The second half saw again a fast game with lots of tackles and two teams playing with passion and desire. Daniella Florez and Shannon Reekie played out of position today but worked hard along with Courtney Porter and Ynes Kerr at the back, but  Real Fife got the equaliser and the game ended 3-3.

Well done all the girls fantastic football from both teams today.  Strollers next game is away to Real Fife next Saturday.
