Grove win league

Congratulations to the 1st team who won the Scottish 1st division last week, beating Glasgow Western 3-0 to take the title on goal difference. It was a must win game in Stirling last wednesday and Louise Carroll opened the scoring from a penalty corner. Ali Bell also scored from open play and then Louise wrapped up the game with a second goal from a well worked penalty corner.
This marks the 6th league title in seven years for Grove - a huge well done to all the girls and coach Charlotte!

Well done to the Grovies and a big thank you to all the supporters who watched the game.

Another win for the 2nd team

The second team put in another good performance on sunday, recording a 3-1 win over Watsonians. The game was 0-0 at half time with goalkeeper Fiona Allison called into action on a number of occasions. Debbie McLeod and Carrie Clement also made some great tackles at the back. It was Watsonians who scored the first goal of the game early in the second half. But Grove stuck to their game plan and pulled one back after some great build up play. A further two goals were scored to seel the 3-1 victory as Grove started to dominant the game. Susan Nicol did well to finish the game following a ball to the face and credit goes to forwards Susan Graham, Lizzie Bush and Stacy Bookless who worked well together in the second half to create a number of chances.
