With only 10 players against 11 and boiling sun to contend with this was going to be a hard day for Rovers.
The pitch was probably the worst I have seen in a long time ( Yes worse then wembley) . And there side line making sure we could nt get a break when the ball went out by throwing another straight on the girls had it all to do.
But it was Rovers 10 players who upped the tempo of this game from the start not letting Springhead settle and first to every ball. I cant recall Springhead winning a header in the first half which was all so great to see. Springhead played long ball over the top but Amanda was out first to every thing. We had a couple of half chances in the first half Natalie and Scarlet went close. Then a great tru ball From Alison Fletcher found Scarlet who had 3 defenders and a very tight angle but some how produced a great finish to lob the keeper. Rovers came in 1 nil up at half time. Second half saw Springhead come on to us more . But with this they left the option of been picked off on the break . This time Alison Mc G produced the tru ball for Scarlet who sent the keeper the wrong way to make it 2 nil.
Springhead pulled one back when we failed to deal with a long ball free kick into the box. Elle and Scarlet went close to making it 3 one. But then with there forward 4 yards offside and a ref who had given in to there side line all afternoon Springhead made it 2 each. We played 9 mins of injury time while Springhead pushed for the winner then when we broke free and Elle was away he blew the whistle. This meant we staid 5 points clear of Springhead who have a game in hand.

For 2 great finishes and worked hard up front.
Ref watch 3 out of 10
Too easily influenced by the home team .
Gave everything that was shouted for and cost us there equalizer.
Managers point of view.
With 10 players we would have taken this result before hand but with all the hard work the girls put in you could nt help but feel we deserved a bit more from this game . That been said with 11 players in this game I have no doubth that we would have easily won this game. As it became hard late on to keep pressing that extra pair of legs would have made all the difference,
Never the less this was a superb performance.
