Buchan Quines v Aberdeen East End FC

Match Report by Rachel Walker

Both team kick off the match determined to fight for possession of the ball.

Aberdeen nearly opened the scoring with an early chance and had a cracking shot at goal.

Buchan then adapted tactically and began to challenge Aberdeen's every move. As a result neither team was dominant and as the half went on both sides saw good opportunities missed. There were plenty of shots on goal but far too many were off target, sailing high above the net.

Aberdeen finally opened the scoring with a smashing goal straight into the top corner by number 5. Buchan responded immediately and were quickly back on level terms before another goal from Buchan, by their number 10 this time, gave them a hard earned lead.

Aberdeen were still fighting back and didn't let there heads drop but at the break the sides went in with Buchan leading 2-1.

The half time team talk by the East End manager clearly had an effect with Aberdeen equalising straight after the break.

Things went from bad to worse for Buchan when the keeper was injured in the move leading up to the goal. The replacement goalie for Buchan, no 6, had a great second half.

As the game went on both teams were making big efforts to try add to the scoreline but it wasn't to be. An engrossing second half ended 2-2.

Player of the match: Katrina Innes number 11 for Buchan Quines. She played consistently to a high standard and was solid in defence from start to finish.
