With Falkirk again being shunted from their original home ground,
they had to make do with another stand in pitch situated in Cumbernauld. Falkirk
had help in the form of former Cumbernauld Ladies Midfielder, Shelley Valle. She
kindly stepped in to strengthen Falkirks midfield and there was also hope of
lifting everyones spirits going into this game.
The game started much the same from Falkirk, a few sharp runs from
McGrory, however nothing came of these. And for the first 32minutes the match
was more or less equal other than the odd strong spell from Falkirk. However on
the 33rd minute, Whitehill were allowed into the game and scored much to the
astonishment of the Falkirk team. Falkirk kicked off and again Whitehill has
broke through their defence and scored another goal, this time Falkirk defender
Susan Ferguson left trying to clear and due to bad bounce, the ball trickled
into the back of the net. Again Falkirk to kick off and same story, Whitehill
found the back of the net once again. 3 goals in 3 minutes. Falkirks heads going
down, understandably.
Second half went underway and Falkirk started off strong again. It
wasn't long before Falkirk were given a free kick not far from 18 yard box and
Martin swung in a great ball with McGrory towering above everyone else to bring
a goal back for Falkirk. Falkirk 1 - Whitehill Welfare 3
Whitehill kicked off and before we all knew it, Falkirk had got by
their defence and Hunter fired home. Falkirk 2 - Whitehill Welfare 3
Again Falkirk were looking for the equaliser and found it in
Hunter.
Falkirk 3 - Whitehill Welfare 3
Falkirks heads were up again, and were taking the game to
Whitehill, however Falkirk got caught out at the back and another silly mistake
allowed Whitehill to score again.
Wasn't long before Whitehill again scored bringing it to Falkirk 3
- Whitehill Welfare 5. Falkirk on the attack and with the ball falling for
Hunter 20 yards out, she swung and sailed the ball into the top right hand
corner. Falkirk 4 - Whitehill Welfare 5.
Whitehill then went onto score two more and the game finished
Falkirk 4 - Whitehill Welfare 7.
Next sunday Falkirk will face Forfar Farmington at home Little Kerse in
