Kintore United U14 Quines

After a long summer break, it was great to get the Quines back out on the pitch & the first half was full of some wonderful football against Buckie Ladies U14s.

It was a particularly special day for Abbie E, Anna and Macy, all playing their first match for the Quines. All 3 put in a tremendous shift, with Abbie marking her debut with a goal! 🎉

The bobbly home pitch provided plenty of unusual bounces, but the girls adapted well. Lucy McL expertly handled the first-half goalkeeping duties, while Ida, our magnificent right back, was her usual steady and assured presence within the team.

Lucy McK powered around the pitch with some excellent tackles and clearances, while both Emilys worked brilliantly together in defence, with Emily B also providing plenty of guidance from the centre.

Further forward, Macy made life difficult for her Buckie opponent, while Anna did a great job fending off her opposite number. Meghan had a couple of shots on target and kept troubling the Buckie keeper, while Breagha came agonisingly close with some fantastic curling free kicks.

Silvi and Abbie made a difference every minute they were on the pitch with some great running and passing, but sadly both had to come off injured.

With no regular goalkeeper, Eilidh bravely shared the goalkeeping duties and came on for the 2nd half, both GKs made some good saves. We were plagued by injuries today - at one point we were down to just 10 players, so huge credit to everyone who kept battling — and we hope all those nursing knocks recover quickly.

With injuries taking their toll, being down to 10 players, tiredness crept in and our heads dropped a little, allowing Buckie to take control and eventually run out 4-1 winners.

The scoreline doesn't quite reflect the positives, though. There was lots to be proud of, especially that excellent first half, and a fantastic effort from everyone who pulled on the Quines shirt today.

Well done, girls — heads up and on to the next one! ⚽💛🖤

Something different for the girls this evening .

Thanks Jemma (& Martyn) - they really enjoyed it 🌞

A great, positive, energetic, and friendly 9-a-side game today against Formartine.

Every girl played her part, with special mention going to our volunteer goalkeepers — it turns out they have some hidden talents! There were some excellent saves throughout the game. 👏

It was also a great opportunity to mix things up and try players in new positions. The girls were keen to give it a go, and they really flourished.

Formartine opened the scoring, although we'll take a little bit of credit for that one, seeing as we coached the scorer for most of last season while she was on loan with us. 😉 Our first goal came from a corner and, while it eventually went in off a Formartine player, we'll happily claim the assist! Sophie then scored our second to put us ahead, and we held the lead for a long spell before Formartine equalised. We were then unlucky to concede a late winner right at the end.

Final score: 2–3.

Plenty of positives to take from today's performance. Let's carry that energy, confidence, and team spirit into the next game. 💪⚽
