Tough 1-1 vs Inverleith

Various call-offs and injuries meant it was a squad with a number of changes at Inverleith today. Not helped by our coach getting the time wrong the team started with 10 but fortunately only briefly. We actually started with some decent attack but then they started to exert pressure and their good movement created an overload. A player was allowed to run too far into the D without challenge and a strong shot crept in at the far post off Ali I think. We were working well together though, channeling their skillful and quick players on to each other and using turnover ball well. We forced a corner and Maria converted a first strike at the back post after an initial touch and follow-up. There were corners for both teams and some excellent hockey played ( our attack down the right flank was particularly effective) but the stalemate was maintained and the points shared.
