Upward move for victorious Kelburne

-

Bromac Kelburne Ladies have sealed promotion back to National League Division 1 with two victories on the final day of the season.

With a very young squad, and only three players who had indoor experience, they completely dominated the league apart from one weekend, where results went against them.

After going the full first half with a 100 per cent record, they recovered well from dropping points in the opening weekend to win their remaining games.

Coach Adam Bain was suitably delighted with his side’s efforts. He said: “Captain Emma Barlow led by example and played some of the best indoor I’ve seen from her. and Molly Godfrey found her scoring form at the best time.

“Natalie MacKinnon produced some solid performanc­es in goal and in the last weekend really upped her game under the guidance of Rory Kerr.

“It has been a real team effort. Cath McLaughan and Olivia Ritchie were a really strong pairing at the back and gave the forwards confidence to play.

“Imogen Davies, Rach Bain, Kath Meenan and Ellise Berry all impressed in their first real season of having more pressure placed upon them. All played extremely well.

“New indoor players Iona Grant and Marie Kolasinski played a big part in keeping the squad fresh and entertaine­d, as well as outdoor captain and vice, Stephanie McInally and Ellie Halliday, who both stepped in at times to ensure the squad was never under strength.

“The girls are looking forward to playing in Division One next season and testing themselves at that level.”
