Match Report Women Rec Team - Corstorphine Dynamo

🗒️ Match report: Edinburgh South 0 – 2 Corstorphine Dynamo

“Dai dai dai, we go, dale ale, let’s go!”- that tune was stuck in our heads all evening and perfectly summed up the spirit of the squad from start to finish.

The night didn’t exactly begin smoothly, with an unpleasant surprise waiting for us when we arrived to find our booked pitch locked up! 🙈But credit to everyone for the quick reaction- we regrouped fast and made our way to Jack Kane instead. A quick setup, a short warm-up, and we were ready to go on a beautiful evening for football.🌅

And what a start we made. Sharp, confident, and full of energy from the first whistle. We were moving the ball well and creating chances immediately. Then came the moment that should have put us ahead- a brilliant header from Ciara that clearly crossed the line before bouncing back off the post… but somehow no goal was given! 😬

Despite the setback, heads never dropped and we kept pushing forward. Unfortunately, football can be cruel sometimes. The opposition had their first real shot on goal and, with a bit of bad luck, we found ourselves 1–0 down at half-time despite dominating large spells and creating chance after chance. 💪

The second half followed a similar pattern. We continued to press and attack, but another quick run down the left saw Corstorphine double their lead and suddenly it was 2–0. Even then, this team never stopped fighting. We kept coming forward, played some excellent football, and gave absolutely everything right until the final whistle- it just wouldn’t go in for us tonight.🫣

Special mention as well to our goalkeeper for pulling off some outstanding saves and keeping us battling right to the end. On another day, the scoreline could have looked very different.👏

One more game to go now, and plenty to be proud of. It’s been a really positive first season for us so far and you can see this team continuing to grow, improve, and find its feet every week. 💫

Disappointing not to come away with points tonight, but it was still a good game played in great spirit. Good luck to Corstorphine Dynamo in your final match of the season!🙌

And finally… that scenery after the game almost made up for the result 🌅
