Round-up of Scotland youth international match results

Scotland’s youth international squads were in action against Ireland and in the HDM tournament in the Netherlands today.

We round-up the results below.

Scotland U16 Girls v Ireland

A close, scrappy encounter between Scotland and Ireland was eventually settled by a late goal from the home side’s Emily Dark.

The Dundee Wanderers’ youngster transferred the ball onto the reverse and struck the ball sweetly into the bottom right hand corner in the 64th minute to give the Scots a 1-0 win.

Scotland ‘keeper Iona Colquhoun had come to her team’s rescue earlier in the match, diving low to save an Irish penalty flick.

Scotland go 1-0 up in the three match series following today’s win and yesterday’s draw.

Ben O’Grady opened the scoring in the 15th minute, his drag-flick deflected past Scottish shot-stopper Seth van Rensburg to put the visitors 1-0 up.

Three minutes before the break, Luke Adams doubled the away side’s advantage, cutting inside the Scottish defence to beat Rensburg at the near post.

Two goals inside four second half minutes put Ireland out of sight; Harry Dow and Fergus Gibson’s field goals making it 4-0.

The Scots managed to find a consolation three minutes before full-time, Fraser Moran scoring with an exquisite drag-flick.

The series now goes to a deciding match with both sides currently on one win apiece.
