Match report

It seems the team for the Woodside girls grows each week with new players coming out to give it a go, and so it did again this week. Heading out with 15 players (including a few fill in players helping out from Woodside's other teams) to play their 1pm game at the Woodside pitch. Another glorious day for soccer greeted players, coaches and supporters from both Woodside and Stirling Districts.  As the game commenced everyone settled in for an entertaining display.  The match didn’t disappoint. 

An even start for both teams saw the ball travelling from end to end, but it didn’t take long for the experience of the Stirling girls to shine through and take some control of the game.  Woodside’s defence line and keeper were under pressure throughout the match, but they all stood firm and the keeper made many saves for the day. The mid-field girls also worked extremely hard and played some excellent football through the mid-field, but a strong Stirling defence prevented any score for Woodside.

As the match progressed Woodside started to bring together their team work and found a few scoring opportunities of their own, managing to catch the Stirling defence out of position a few times.  Finishing with three to the back of the net, and on the scoresheet.  An exciting end to the game!  We look forward to watching this team grow through the season. Congratulations to Stirling Districts on a great game played in good sportsmanship.
