Wellington 8-1 Peebles

The fog cleared to blue skies for the opening game of the day, and Wellington were on fine form in front of goal as they clinched the Junior Girls Challenge Plate. A wonderful early goal from captain Sophie Alexander got them started and they raced into a five goal lead by half time thanks to further strikes from Eva Cowan, Poppy Williamson, Mia Barbour and a second from Alexander.

Peebles came into the game in the second half and had some chances of their own, they did pull a goal back through Connie Buckingham but only after Ellis Paton-Browne had added a sixth for Wellington. As we approached full time Alexander clinched her hat trick and Annie Cumming rounded off the scoring.
