Match Report - Womens Rec Team - Haddington Athletic

👊🎉👊What a way to end the season — Edinburgh South 2️⃣-2️⃣ Haddington! ⚽🔥

First of all, what an amazing experience this season has been. Our very first competitive season, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone involved- organisers, players, supporters, and all the people behind the scenes who helped make it happen. We truly appreciate every single one of you. 🙏

Now, about the game…

End of season football means injuries, tired legs, and very low numbers- but that didn’t stop us. One thing this team has shown all season is that we stand strong and never give up.

We started the game safe, controlled, and composed. Both sides created chances, but we were the first to make it count after an absolute beauty from Salomé from the edge of the box! 🚀⚽

We knew we had to stay tight, but after a couple of dangerous counterattacks, Haddington found an equaliser from a corner scramble. 1-1 at half-time. 😬

We knew a draw was enough for us- but Haddington wanted more. They came out strong in the second half, and so did we. We adjusted things in the middle of the pitch and trusted the plan, but suddenly we found ourselves watching the ball hit the back of our net. 2-1 down… and now we were chasing the game.

10 minutes to go… could we pull this off?

Of course we could. 💪

After a calm and clinical finish from Ciara, we were level again at 2-2! The final minutes felt endless, but then came the whistle- full time, a draw! 🙌 🎉🎉🎉

A great game and huge thanks to Haddington for hosting us. Looking forward to hopefully arranging some friendlies over the summer! 🤝☀️🫶

First half of the season:
