In a lively 60-minute contest played nine-a-side, Green Machine emerged victorious with a convincing 6-2 win. The match saw a flurry of goals and a commanding display from the visitors.

Green Machine lined up in a 2-3-3 formation, deploying a solid defensive base with two central defenders, Violet Vople and Lyla Deplonty, tasked with protecting goalkeeper Leanna Chester. The midfield trio consisted of Lyric Murchison on the left, Tiia Thomlinson centrally, and Isla Beleck on the right, each expected to link defence and attack while providing width and creativity. Up front, the three forwards were Lilja Tuomi on the right, Berkley Corcoran as the central striker, and Molly Levesque on the left, all charged with leading the offensive efforts. No substitutes were named for this fixture.

The game burst into life early on with Isla Beleck opening the scoring in the 11th minute, demonstrating her attacking intent from the right midfield position. However, Team 4 responded quickly, levelling the score just three minutes later at 14 minutes, ensuring a tense battle was underway. Not to be outdone, Beleck struck again in the 17th minute, restoring Green Machine’s lead and showing her clinical edge in front of goal.

As the first half progressed, Lilja Tuomi extended the advantage for Green Machine in the 24th minute, capitalising on her role as right forward to push the visitors further ahead. Just four minutes later, Lyla Deplonty found the net from a well-executed assist by goalkeeper Leanna Chester, highlighting the goalkeeper’s vision and distribution skills. This goal put Green Machine firmly in control at 5-1 going into half time at the 30-minute mark.

The second half began with Team 4 attempting to claw back into the game, scoring in the 34th minute to reduce the deficit to 5-2. Yet Green Machine’s attacking threat remained potent. Lilja Tuomi doubled her tally in the 47th minute, reinforcing the visitors’ dominance and showcasing her sharp finishing. The final goal came in the 53rd minute when Isla Beleck completed her hat-trick, once again assisted by Leanna Chester, underlining the goalkeeper’s pivotal role in launching attacks.

Throughout the match, Green Machine’s 2-3-3 formation allowed for a balanced approach, with defenders Violet Vople and Lyla Deplonty providing a sturdy backbone, while the midfield trio, particularly Beleck on the right, combined creativity and goal threat. Up front, Tuomi’s two goals and Corcoran’s presence kept the opposition defence under constant pressure. Leanna Chester’s contributions were vital both in goal and in setting up scoring opportunities.

Isla Beleck was deservedly named Player of the Match for her three-goal haul and overall influence on the game. Green Machine’s comprehensive 6-2 victory at Strathclair Park will boost their confidence as they continue their league campaign.
