Match Report | Shetland Ladies v Orkney Dragons 7-9-19

11/9/2019

On Saturday 7th September the Orkney Dragons faced the daunting prospect of travelling to Shetland with a rather depleted squad to continue their campaign in the Tennent’s Women’s North League (east).

With two comfortable wins already in the bag and a strong squad of 22 Shetland had to be considered firm favourites at the outset. Orkney always knew they faced an uphill battle so they came out fighting. The Orkney forwards were as ferocious as ever and the virtually brand new back line set up of Tiff Cazaneve, Ailsa Drever , Emmy Smith, Amy King, Shell Pennington and Megan Foubister rose to the challenge .
