Brown Bags Four In Cup Canter!

FC Kilmarnock 9 - 0 Giulianos
(League Cup Quarter Final - 8th December 2002, 2.00pm Kick Off)

Due to the recent weather conditions and members of Kilmarnock's squad representing their country in America there has been no game for the girls. The match was their first for 3 weeks and they were determined to start the match at a high tempo and that they did!

The visitors had no time to settle into the match before Linda Brown had got on the score sheet after excellent build-up play. This was the strikers first of the afternoon but was certainly not her last. She completed her hat trick later in the match with a fine header and a long-range effort.

Tracey Burns also got herself on the score sheet in the first half from a Bev McLaughlin corner. Just before half time Giulianos lost their young keeper through injury and were forced to play with 10 players but the score remained 4-0 going into the interval. 

The second half started much the same as the first with Kilmarnock dominating the match and the tempo of play. Their goals came from Angela Hind, Nicola Black, Pauline Hamill and Bev McLaughlin finally completed the scoring to take Kilmarnock comfortably through to take on Hibs in the Semi-finals of the competition. Hibs will surely prove stronger opposition for this talented Kilmarnock side who are defending the trophy they won last year.

The girls now do not have a match until late January. The 'A' international squad will be of to a tournament in Portugal on Wednesday which will involve eight of the Kilmarnock Squad. In January the Kilmarnock Squad will be taking part in a 6 v 6 tournament in Frankfurt competing against some of the top club sides across Europe including current UEFA Champions FFC Frankfurt.


FC Kilmarnock: Johnstone, Burns, Sneddon, Cheyne, McLaughlin (Hough), Love, Fowler, Hind, Smith (Barbour), Hamill, Brown (Black).
