Our U15 girls started their season with a competitive match v Meldrum Academy at home. The team worked hard and our goal scorers were Olivia (S2), Abby (S1), Leia (S1) and Daisy (S1). The team demonstrated a lot of potential, but unfortunately we were defeated this time. We are excited for our forthcoming matches next week : Monday home v Turriff in the league and Friday home v Lochside in the Scottish shield.
