Musselburgh Windsor v Hutchie Vale Sat 8^th September 07

Hutchison Vale took on Musselburgh Windsor on a bright beautiful morning with Hutchi Vale kicking off down the slight slope with the sun at their backs. Right from kick off the Hutchi Girls went on attack with Megan making some good runs down the left and on four minutes their attacking play earned them the first goal. A superb pass from Louise through the centre found Carrie, who with good strength, held off the Windsor defender, raced into the box and drilled the ball beyond their keeper. But like Thursday night against Cowdenbeath  after a positive start the ball just wouldn't hit the back of the net. Megan coming closest as she hit a post  sending the ball squirmming across goal  but there were no takers for the rebound.  Shannon too had a couple of great chances to increase the lead, but just as Hutchie Vale looked to have taken a grip of the game Musselburgh Windsor broke upfield with a couple of good passes.  It was  the impressive defensive duo of Kerry and Connie  who snuffed out the danger.  Windsor kept pushing forward and almost scored an equaliser but Amie in goals got behind everything that came her way.

And with the 2nd half kicking off with Hutchi Vale shooting up hill with the sun in their eyes and with a slight lead it looked like it was going to be a pretty tight game. But the midfield of Louise, Nicole and Jo winning most of the balls and playing some delightful passes over the top and through the middle another goal was sure to come.  With one great passing move Carly was sent clean through on goal but as she was about to shoot the Windsor keeper raced out and brought her down to earn the first Hutchi penalty of the season. It was Carly who took the ball and confidently placed it beyond the keeper to make the score 0-2.  Eight minutes later with another great passing move between Nicole, Carrie and Carly, it was Carly who again found herself in the box, she controled the pass and fired a shot low into the corner to make the Score 0-3. 

But credit to Musselburgh Windor who  never gave up even when they went  4-0 down, a great through ball once again from Louise to Lisa who cut in passed the last defender and from the  tightest of angles, squeezed the ball into the top corner. Musselburgh kept fighting for every ball and they almost went on to get a deserved consolation goal .    They got beyond the Hutchi defence with a great move down the left, but the final shot smacked off a post. 

Both teams played a great game of passing football but in the end Hutchi Vale were too strong for a good Musselburgh Windsor  side.
