Match report

Damp under foot but with warm sunshine from above the game started in a lively manner with both sides looking to break out of the midfield and mount attacks. Both sides, but particularly Mt Barker, mounted some good early efforts but throttling defence and solid keeping meant all came to nought. As the half wore on Stirling gained a slight ascendency; quenching many of the Mt Barker attacks well outside the 18-yard box and then mounting some good forays of their own. In the chaos of a string of corners Stirling found the net to take the half 1-0 at the break.

The second half saw the Stirling girls pick up where they left off and all bar a period midway through H2 Stirling had a slight edge in the play. Good field play led to opportunities for Stirling but some great never-say-die defence saw Mt Barker deny them any further goals time and time again. When the final whistle sounded the score remained 1-0 in Stirling’s favour.
