Strollers travelled to Kirkcaldy to play Raith Rovers on Saturday in a game where both teams played some great football, from the first whistle to the last.

Both sets of players pressured each other throughout and worked hard, coupled with some great passing when they had the ball.

After 20 minutes Betheney Scott injected a bit of pace on the wing and got the opening goal of the game. Raith Rovers equalised almost immediately with a fantastic corner that Daniela Florez couldn’t get her hands to. Five minutes before half time, Kerys Blyth got herself in a great position from a cross which landed at her feet in the Raith rovers box and she stroked the ball home to make it Raith 1 Strollers 2 at half time.

The second half saw two teams fight for every ball and an end to end display of football for 30 minutes.  This had taken it out of the girls but Strollers held on with some great work from Denver Hopkins doing her captain duties and Emma Swanson and Courtney porter keeping Raith Rovers attacks to a minimum.

Final score – Raith Rovers 1 Strollers 2
