The girls team stunned Garrowhill with a brilliant 6-3 victory in the sunshine this afternoon to lift the All Girls Challenge Cup. After Hallside raced into a 2-0 lead with two goals by Courtney McGowan, Garrowhill pulled a goal back before half time to make it 2-1 in a first half that was end to end. Hallside restored their two goal advantage by going 3-1 ahead through Lauren Muir, before being pegged back again at 3-2. Hallside then piled on the pressure with Milan Graham scoring to go 4-2 ahead, then 5-2 with a strike from Lucy Rosenbloom. Garrowhill pulled it back to 5-3 and really hemmed in Hallside for the final 5 minutes. Sheree Dunsmore, the Hallside keeper, blocked a point blank effort from the Garrowhill striker to keep Hallside 2 goals ahead before Hallside scored a 6th in the dying seconds, through Milan Graham, to settle the nerves of their travelling support.
Captain Lauren Muir stepped up to receive the trophy at the end of the game and the crowd went wild. Congratulations to Heather Jackson who won player of the match. Well done girls.
