Close call with Loch Ladies

Kelburne were back in action in the Second Division as they took on a determined Loch Lomond.

Fielding a young squad, with a full bench, Kelburne were looking to improve on their mid-table position against the team sitting top.

Nevertheless, Loch Lomond came out fighting, and the first 15 minutes saw Kelburne camped out in their own half soaking up lots of pressure.

But, against the run of play, experienced player/coach Rachael Ewing-Day carried the ball over the 23 yard line, into the circle and buried a reverse stick shot beyond the Loch Lomond keeper.

With the nerves settled, Kelburne began to create more chances with some lovely possession play in and around the circle.

Three corners were claimed within this period which were not converted.

Then just before half-time, Loch Lomond broke and found their way past Abbie Houston, the Kelburne keeper, to make the score at half-time 1-1.

The second half begun a lot more calmly from the Kelburne side, who seemed happy to zone defend and counter attack when they could.

But on the 50th minute defender Emma Ryan put the Kelburne ladies ahead again after a great piece of individual skill.

Unfortunately, the Paisley side failed to claim all three points after an error in defence left the keeper isolated and with little they could do against a clinical Lomond finish.

Kelburne countered in numbers to try and find the winner, however another two corners went unconverted and the active Lomond keeper proved equal to all their attempts.
