Ladies 4s vc Linlithgow

No training? No games since December?? No bother to the ladies 4's who dominated a strong Linlithgow team for a 1-0 win at Fortress Tipperlinn! Fresh off the back of her thumping performance in the last game before Christmas, Alida returned up front along with Super Mum Jude and regular goal machine Leanne to form a dream team in the D.

It took a few minutes to settle into remembering how to play hockey... Alisa was unlucky to get blasted by a horrible sounding shot to the foot by the ball in the D meaning Linlithgow got an early short corner but the straight strike was hoofed away fairly easily and they only had one other shot on goal in the first half but to no avail. The dream team however ran riot in the D, Leanne twisted and turned and ran their defence ragged prior to utterly thumping a tight angled shot right into the left hand side of the goal!!

We were unlucky not to score a good few more including an almost identical goal that was just wide in the first half. Second half again didn't see a lot of action for our defence but with 1minute to go the ball suddenly came down the right to a Linlithgow player who found a player free at the top of the D and left me going awwww poo.... She slipped it to a runner who appeared outa nowhere on the right so I did the only thing I could, launched myself at her, headbutting her somewhere in the nether regions (lovely...) and saw the ball skited off the back line, PHHHHHHEEEEEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

We were safe and the whistle went to give as a first win for 2015, nice one ladies! Some cracking play and accurate passing today, obviously we need to play more defenders up front and just not bother training!!

Ladies 3's also had a thumping return to the league with a 4-1 thrashing of Stirling.

Great games today ladies, here's to more success in the 2nd half of the season!
