L1s 2-1 Western Wildcats L1s (J Eadie, E McGregor)
Clydesdale Western reignited their season as they narrowly beat Western Wildcats thanks to a superb late winner from Emma McGregor on Saturday at Titwood.
After a goalless first half, ‘Dale Western took the lead in the second half through Jen Eadie. Wildcats responded with an equaliser and it looked as if the game was going to end level. But late on, skipper Ali Howie produced a fantastic pass for McGregor who sent an equally fantastic reverse stick shot into the Wildcats goal. The result inflicted Western Wildcats first defeat of the season, and in turn has opened up the Women’s National Division One League table. Clydesdale Western are now up in the top four positions in the league table.
Clydesdale Western’s next league game is on Saturday, as they visit DISC to take on fellow league challengers, Grove Menzieshill.
