Football Update
Liberton Lightning P6/7 team won 7-3 against James Gillespie’s. A tiny pitch with long grass made it hard to play good football. We went 2-0 down very early, but scored the next 7 goals! Amy dominated midfield and scored 5 goals – 4 of which were dribbles past multiple opponents. Goals also from Suzy and Larissa. We changed the team around again to give some girls more match time. Special mention to Imogen in defence, Mariam in only her second appearance, and Suzy for some outstanding reaction saves during her spell in goal at the end. Player of the match was Amy.
