3s show their talent despite loss

3s show their talent despite loss

The 3s travelled to Glasgow for what they knew was going to be a physical game. They started out strong. They had many runs onto the ball up top from the start and throughout the whole game, but unfortunately the ref was glued to his whistle and kept calling everything offside so it was difficult for our girls to get their shooting boots on. Glasgow Cali played lots of long through balls, which meant the defence were kept on their toes. Cali did break through a few times, but

2s Unfortunate against Glasgow

After a succession of games played at home, the 2s travelled with EUWAFC minibus driver, Eva Steele, to face Glasgow Uni 1s on their home turf. The first half hour saw some great passing football from both teams, however, with no significant chances apart from Glasgow hitting the crossbar from a header ball. The first goal came at 32 mins to Glasgow Uni after a brilliant save from 2nd team keeper Hannah Michie, but unfortunately the ball wasn’t cleared soon enough, allowing G

The 1s arrived in a grey Aberdeen on Wednesday to take on Aberdeen University in their fourth league match of this season. At 2pm the game kicked off and from the offset, it was clear to see that the match was going to be close, with both teams battling hard to get the first goal. There were chances at each end, with Michie making a vital save within the first 10 minutes as well as a great run by Duverger with a shot that ended up going wide. A chance was also created when Ma

2nd Team Unlucky Against St Andrews

2nd Team Unlucky Against St Andrews

Both teams went into the game on pretty even terms having both lost 2-0 to EUWAFC 1st Team in the last couple weeks, and the game had all the markings of an even affair. The teams started the game very evenly as expected and neither team had any clear cut chances in the first half. They came in at half time with the score 0-0 and everything to play for. Team talks must have played a part, however, as the second half was far more eventful. Shortly after the whistle went again,

2nd Team Come-back to Win at Home

This BUCS Wednesday saw our 2s win at home 4-2 against RGU. The first goal of the match came 26 mins into the first half by super striker Kirsty Wilson (her 1st ever goal for EUWAFC) with a pass back by RGU which allowed Wilson to confidently slot it in past the keeper. However, the 2s dropped their tempo after the first goal which allowed for a very physical RGU to score 2 goals in the space of a few minutes right before the end of the first half. A stern but motivational ‘r

3rd Team Impress in 6-1 Victory Over QMU

3rd Team Impress in 6-1 Victory Over QMU

The sun came out in the afternoon just in time for the 3s first game of the season. Excitement was high, and Edinburgh were unlucky not to get a goal sooner with 2 shots going just wide of Queen Margaret's goal within the first 10 minutes. Edinburgh didn't have to wait long though, as an excellent ball from the back found Molly's feet who calmly slot it into the back of the net to take Edinburgh into the lead at only 20 minutes in. Only 6 minutes later, Katie whipped in an ex

1s in Away Win over Saints

It is never an easy game against St. Andrews, a notoriously physical team, who like to play direct and very competitive football. It is even more difficult to play them away, where we battled travel sickness, rain and a shortage of changing rooms before even reaching the field. Regardless, the 1s stepped up to the occasion with yet another fresh line up (emphasis on fresh as 4 1st years started!). The game was a tale of two halves with a somewhat nervous start that resulted i

2nd Team Battle Hard Against Strong 1st Team

This week EUWAFC 1s took on our own 2nd team in the second fixture of the Scottish 1A League. Played on Peffermill 3G, the game was a great showcase of new talent at the club. The first half was evenly matched, with the 2nd team starting strongly and quickly. There were chances at either end, with two good chances for 2s striker Kirsty Wilson but with one hitting the side netting and the other straight at 1s goalkeeper Charlotte Parker-Smith. It was all to play for at half ti

1st Team in Season Opener Win

Last Wednesday saw the 1st team kick off their Scottish 1A League campaign with a 3-1 home victory over Glasgow 1s. The game, played on the Peffermill Stadium Pitch, involved many new EUWAFC players making their debut for the university team. The game, kicking off at 5pm, started equally with chances in the opening few minutes for both teams. After 17 minutes, Edinburgh broke the deadlock with a great team goal involving Beth Macleod, Hannah Craig and finished by debutant Ele

2s Get Season Underway in Aberdeen

2s Get Season Underway in Aberdeen

Cold and windy conditions up in Aberdeen for the 2nd team’s first BUCS match of the season against newly promoted Aberdeen University. The first 20 mins of the game saw some significant chances at a goal for our 2s with an offside goal by Rebecca Gray and a dangerous free kick into Aberdeen’s penalty box by Rachel Thomson. Aberdeen was nonetheless a strong opposition and the first half saw them score 3 goals. Half-time talk by coach Derek Nelson gave our 2s a boost of confide
