The term legend is often misused or overegged. But when it comes to describing a player who has devoted almost all of her career to one club and became a role model for aspiring young females at Spartans, the curtain is set to come down this Sunday on Bobbie Beveridge’s eleven year top-flight career. Read our exclusive interview with Bobbie as she gets set for one final game in a bid to bow out on a high.
Congrats to Lily Graham on her Scotland School’s Squad call-up for this weekend’s International against England in Newcastle.
The Portobello High School pupil has fitted in well as part of Debbi McCulloch’s SWPL side following her move up from the Under 19s. She made her top flight debut as a substitute against Forfar Farmington on the 23rd May.
We’re delighted to confirm that Alicia Yates, Caley Gibb and Robyn McCafferty have been called up to the Scotland U19s for a post-season training camp.
Congratulations girls!
Congratulations to Dion McMahon who made her 100th senior club appearance recently against Glasgow City. The defender, who becomes the 13th player to reach the milestone, joined the club in January 2016 and has scored a solitary goal, scored against Forfar in September 2018.
In a comeback Lazarus himself would have stepped back and applauded, Debbi McCulloch’s Spartans turned around a two goal half time deficit to defeat Motherwell 2-3 at Penny Cars Stadium.
The result sees Spartans open up a five point gap in fourth place over fellow Edinburgh outfit Hibernian with just two games of the extended season to go. Going into the match, Spartans hadn’t lost in the SWPL to the hosts however they were staring defeat in the eye at the interval despite making most of the early running.
Debbi McCulloch’s Spartans returned to fourth spot in the SWPL table with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Forfar Farmington at Ainslie Park.
Boosted by the first opportunity to play in front of a ‘live audience’ for some time, Spartans set out their stall early on however the alert Perry raced off her line to thwart McAlonie.
Several attempts followed and the hosts were almost left to rue not putting them into the onion bag when Bruce’s effort whizzed past the gloves of Yates and rattled the post.
