Scotland 1 England 3

April 23rd 2011

In the first ever ESFA Girl's U15 International, England took on Scotland, who have one of the most experienced international teams. The game was played at Toryglen Indoor Arena, next to Hampden Park, with nearly 1000 spectators!

With the game only a few minutes old it was obvious that nerves would not play a part as the England team settled early and following an early tackle by an England defender, she released Jodie down the right that led to the first corner of the game.

Millie Farrow, also from the Fareham area was giving Scotland all types of problems and the Scotland keeper was called into action to save from a great strike from Millie. It wasn't long before England had another attack down the right and a delightful ball into the box saw Millie volley home from 10 yards out!

As the game approached half time Scotland were mounting several attacks in search of an equalizer and with a few minutes to go they finally got the ball into the net following a goal mouth scramble.

Half Time; Scotland 1 England 1

England came out for the second half and quickly put the Scottish defence under pressure with Jodie and Millie time after time slicing through the Scotland defence. 14 minutes into the second half and following more pressure England was awarded a penalty after Millie was bought down in the box and it was left to Ranvilles Jodie Brett to step up and boom it pass the keeper!

The Scots fought hard to get back into the game, but on the 54th minute Jodie put Millie through and she calmly slotted the ball past the advancing keeper.

With their tails up the English had attack after attack and but for some excellent work from the Scottish defence held out and England ran out winners!

Final Score Scotland 1 England 3

The girls from Fareham had ripped the Scottish defence to pieces, an amazing feat as it was the first time Jodie and Millie had played together!

Sponsored by Lloyds TSB Scotland, England were later presented with a Trophy and individual medals.
