The Women’s 1st Team get their season started in Dundee on Saturday against Wanderers, a team bound to be rivals with our girls for a place in the European play-offs. Wildcats have finished fourth and fifth in their previous two seasons and a top four place is their clear target for 2016/17.
It seems like the blink of an eye since our women made their bow in the district leagues but it’s actually fully 15 years. To go from a standing start to team boasting full and age-group internationalists which goes toe-to-toe with the best sides in the country is a remarkable achievement.
Kaz was as bullishly confident as ever saying, “We are raring to get the season started and I want a win against Wanderers to get us going. We have trained well in pre-season and brought in a number of excellent players – Lara Mowforth is back and we also have Lucy Findlay, Emma McDiarmid and MacKenzie Bell – who have added genuine real competition for places.”
The 2s, coming off the back of a 10-1 win over Clydesdale Western, host Garnock at 1200. Let’s hope we see another big win.
The 3s have started pretty well. They lost 5-2 to Blue Sox 2s in their first game but drew with GHK 2s 3-3 next up. They now play Uddingston 3s at home (1500) hoping to get their first win of the new term.
