Scotland U21s produce encouraging results against strong French side

Scotland U21 Women today returned from a three match series against France this week with some very encouraging performances and results.

Neil Menzies’ team were thrown the challenge of taking on a side including several senior players and after a 4-0 loss in the opening game, the Scots demonstrated real improvement, losing 2-1 in the second match, but winning an exciting final game 4-3 last night.

Scotland’s goal in the second encounter came from a Heather Howie deflection after short corner drag flick from Jessica Ross.

In the third contest, a hard fought and remarkable victory was clinched following a dramatic comeback from three goals down.

Emma McGregor’s field goal just before half-time gave the Scottish side hope after losing three French goals in the first half.

Reverse stick strikes from Karin Belch and Waverley Miller drew the Scots level shortly after the interval, leading to a tense second period that culminated in Claire Hill converting a short corner to hand her side the win.
