Ladies 3s
Carnegie L3s opened their second game of the season, after a long break, with some strong attacking play down the right wing. This led to successive short corners which were well defended by Falkirk. Fairly even play between the two sides saw Falkirk break through but unable to find their way to the goal. At times Carnegie were in close quarters with each other which hindered their attacking options. However, more open passing and strong play in the opposition’s half allowed Carnegie to come away with three goals scored in quick succession; Aimee McKenzie, Freya Elliott and captain Carolyn Jameston-Russell. The first half finished with Carnegie feeling confident for the second half but mindful that Falkirk could make a come-back.
The second half started with continued possession for Carnegie and the midfield working hard to maintain the pressure on Falkirk and push the ball forward to the attackers. Again, successive short corners were awarded to Carnegie and these were well defended. Continued attacking play saw a two further goals from Aimee McKenzie and then Samantha Laird. Falkirk made a few breaks into the Carnegie D and were rewarded with a short corner which was swiftly dealt with by Carnegie’s defence.
The final goal of the game was scored by Kate Wallace; a top of the D strike which found the back of the goal sealing the win for Carnegie with a final score of 6-0.
MVP Aimee McKenzie
