Starting 2nd half of the season after Christmas break, the ladies took no time at all settling into the game with 2 quick fire goals in the first 4mins from Elen Austin. Dumfries continued to dominate the game and Uni very rarely trouble the defence. Goal 3 came around the 10min mark from Rebecca Topping.
The next quarter carried on with the ladies pressing but the Uni start to get into the game and their defence restricted the Ladies to 1 more goal in the 1st half this time Tori Barbour managed to beat the Uni keeper who had been keeping her at bay during the 1st half.
The 2nd half started with the Uni pressing on the Dumfries defence of McCubbin, Nicholson, McCall, Bell-Irving Boulton, Rowcroft but couldn’t find a way into the D.
Penny Milne then decided to get in on the scoring before she jets off to other side of the world, finishing at the back post and then a straight strike from a penalty corner. Midfield team of Law, Barbour, E Topping, Austin and Morin kept running the lines and firing balls into the D which led to goal number 7 from Iona Morrin neatly stotting home at back post.
Going into the final quarter the ladies switched off and had to do some desperate defending to keep the clean sheet (to help the fantasy league points) this left space on the break for Tori to round the keeper for her 2nd and Dumfries 8th and the last goal of the day went to the goal machine Rebecca Topping.
