L1s 4-0 Hillhead 1s (E McGregor, M Steiger, L Sabatelli, H Howie)
Clydesdale Western 1st XI went top of Women’s National Division One after seeing off a brave Hillhead resistance at Upper Windyedge.
Although ‘Dale Western started and finished the first half in the ascendancy, it looked as though Hillhead’s hardworking defensive rearguard would see it finish goalless after 35 minutes. But Emma McGregor popped up to score her fourth goal of the season and give the away side a lead going into the break.
The late first half goal sparked an even more positive reaction from the L1s who then doubled their lead not long into the second period through Millie Steiger. Lexi Sabatelli and Heather Howie scored a goal each to further stretch Clydesdale Western’s lead before eventually taking all three points.
The result, coupled with other favourable scorelines, sees Clydesdale Western top of Women’s National Division One after four games – taking ten out of a possible twelve points already.
