Largs Thistle Girls

⚽️⚽️Weekend Round Up⚽️⚽️

U14 Pinks 🩷

The Pinks restarted their league with an away game to Glenbuck. The home team started the brighter and took a well deserved 2-0 lead. Largs rallied round and pulled one back with both teams trading opportunities and goals with Glenbuck leading at half time. Largs seized early opportunities in the second half and deservedly took the lead for the first time with some great team work displays. Again both teams traded opportunities with both hitting the woodwork. Glenbuck scored late on to make it a nervous finish but Largs held on for a great victory.

U14 Golds💛

U14 Gold v Drumsagard Unity.
A lovely Sunday morning saw largs thistle girls u14 golds kick off the post summer season with a home fixture against Drumsagard unity.
Largs started well and played some great football with crisp passing leading to a number of first half chances. Unfortunately they could not convert any for the first 20 mins . Against the run of play Drumsagard went in front thanks to their striker chasing down a loose ball and the subsequent deflected clearance led to the first goal. Largs continued to play some of the best football we have seen and were rewarded with an equaliser from Caylin before halftime.
1-1 at half time.
Largs started the second half well but again their opponents had a chance against the run of play however Maisie pulled off a great save. Every Largs player continued to work hard and more great passing led to a deserved lead early in the second half.
Credit to all the players this drive for more continued leading to Hollie chasing down the opponents defence to get on the score sheet and Ailidh adding two more goals on top of Caylin’s 3rd.
Final score 6-1 thanks to a great effort, focused defending from the back line , non- stop work in midfield and (eventually 😉) some good finishing from the forward players.
A great display of football and resilience despite intitially going a goal down.

U12 Golds 💛

Well done to the girls (and parents) who made the early trek to East Kilbride this morning.

With a couple of late call offs, we had to draft in some reinforcements and emergency loans - thank you to Nina and Aspen for stepping in last minute 🙏🏼

Arabella performed well in goal, making some terrific saves and keeping a clean sheet 👏🏼

Maggie and Sofia Rose were solid in defence working well together and determined not to let anything pass them 💪🏼

Freya, Indie and Keira worked tirelessly in midfield linking the play well.

Ella put in a shift up front as always, pressing from the front and creating chances.

Hannah, Nina and Aspen battled hard for the team when called into action.

U12 Pinks 🩷

The Pinks narrowly lost out to the well matched Crosshouse in what was another great game between the two teams.

Abbie A, Abbie R & Leah linked up superb to lead the attack with all scoring.
Kayla & Sophie did a great job in the middle of the pitch, Sophie making herself available and getting into some great positions. Kayla continues to impress and really drives the girls up the pitch with her passing and dribbling.
Cora, Isabella & Grace K at fullback both defended well and helped the midfield in attack. Sophia & Lucy did well in the centre dealing with a number of high balls & through balls.
Paige played in a couple of different positions and chased everything and defended well.

Grace B was excellent in goals, making some great saves and her kicking from her hands was especially impressive.

The game was played in memory of young Molly Gilmours mother who sadly passed away last Saturday. Molly showed unbelievable strength and determination by playing in both games over the last 2 weekends and on Sunday was the standout in their defence.
After the minute silence we gave Molly a bouquet of flowers & a card from everyone at Largs Thistle Girls FC and send all our love and support to The Gilmour family & everyone at Crosshouse Girls Section at this heartbreaking time.

It’s moments like this that really put the world into perspective. 💔

A busy weekend ahead for the girls.
💛🖤💛🖤

It’s been a busy weekend for the Under 12s as they prepared for next weekends league fixtures by playing 5 games over 3 days.

On Friday the Pinks played a very strong, experienced Ardrossan side and made them work hard for the win. There was plenty to improve on but for a first real go at 9s for most of them it was a great starting point.

The Golds and the U10s (slightly mixed) put on a show at Barrfields with lots of goals scored which was great to see.

Today, one Gold team took on Dean Thistle at Inverclyde, they worked hard for each other and were unlucky not to score a goal when Sophie hit the post. Sophie was picked by the opposition coach as the player of the match for her hard work in midfield. Well done Sophie.

Away at Tass the other Golds played in a round robin with 3 other teams and again played some very good football. Well done to Luci McCue who scored a hat-trick 👏 and to Arabella who performed superbly in goal. Arabella keeps improving every week and her shot stopping today was excellent.

At Barrfields the Pinks ran out 4-3 winners against Crosshouse in a very even, entertaining game of football. There was an own goal from another superb Abbie Arnott cross, 2 for Cora who’s knack of getting into the right place in the box is becoming a huge asset. Lastly, a cracking finish from Kayla Cameron who was chosen by the Crosshouse coach as the player of the match for her hard work, enthusiasm to win the ball back and to drive the Pinks up the park. Well done Kayla.

Next weekend sees games on Friday evening again with the Pinks hosting Port Glasgow & the Golds taking on Ardeer. Sunday we return to league duties with the Pinks travelling to Crosshouse in a return of today’s friendly and the Golds head to East Kilbride
