Peebles Ladies 4

Cala Edinburgh 0

Stuart Brown at High School

THE newly crowned division 1 champions played their final game of the season in the glorious sunshine in front of a great home crowd which included sponsors Thomson Gray and JRD Motors.

The ladies were determined to go the full season unbeaten but most of all wanted to go out and enjoy this momentous occasion.

Peebles started the game well causing the Cala defence all sorts of bother from the start. Peebles took the lead midway through the first half with a powerful strike by Megan Maciver from a penalty corner.

The home side went into half time in the lead that saw a few positional changes being made.

The second half started and it was clear to see that Peebles wanted to show the supporters why they were unbeaten this season.

The second goal came and was a shear delight to watch. Great play up the right from Helena Tipper driving up the wing who passed to Karis Sharp who beat 2 players into the circle and squared the ball to Jo Cook to sweep the ball home to make it 2-0.

The ladies were cruising now and you could tell how much everyone was enjoying it on the pitch and off it.

Abby Dalgliesh made it 3-0 when she cheekily danced through the defence and slotted the ball past the Cala keeper.

A penalty corner routine that has worked well all season was exactly how the fourth and final goal was scored. The ball was injected to the top of the circle where Megan Maciver struck the ball for Sarah Glendinning to deflect the ball into the goal.

Beth Williamson nearly made it 5 with a fine strike from the top of the circle but the Cala keeper producing an equally fine save to make the final score 4-0 to the champions.

The ladies would like to thank everyone that came along and supported us throughout the season and especially at the last game.

Thanks to Sandy Barratt for umpiring and our sponsors for supplying us with lots of prosecco to help us celebrate and finally thanks to coaches Stuart Lobb and Kim Jackson for all their continuous hard work and commitment throughout the season.
