(April 24, 2009)
Falkirk LFC Blue v Falkirk Girls Academy
Tuesday 14th April
Nailor Road, Camelon
1830 Kick Off
Blues eventually kicked off their league campaign against Falkirk Academy 15s. A very nervy start from both teams neither team created many chances play going back and forward blues defence well on top as usual then in the 25th min poor clearance from Academy picked up by Nicole who passed the ball into the net 1-0. Play bogged down in midfield for most of first half.
Half Time: Falkirk LFC Blue 1 v 0 Falkirk Girls Academy
The second half came alive in the 40th min good play from midfield long ball forward great and brave chasing from Shelby who managed to raise higher than the keeper to score a terrific goal 2-0. Blues now gained control of game with some very good play and passing Susie passed to Linzi who produced a super cross to Nicole who finished well 3-0. Blues were starting to dominate now and in the 55th min another good move from Shelby to Susie well struck ball good goal 4-0. In the 57th min a series of good passing from defence to Amanda who threaded a superb ball to Nicole great goal 5-0. 62nd min another great pass from Amanda to Nicole 6-0. Straight from ball being centred Susie latched onto loose ball super goal 7-0.
Full Time: Falkirk LFC Blue 7 v 0 Falkirk Girls Academy
The Blues were slow to get into any rhythm in the first half but after Shirley and Ashley’s famous half time talk Blues were almost back to their good flowing football. A good result for the blues in their 1st game of the season. The Academy were a much improved young team and should do well. Good luck to them in the coming season
