Friday 7th February
Banff Ac. beat Grove 9-0 in the Senior Girls Shield 3rd Round. Despite the sunny conditions in Banff an extremely strong wind in the first half threatened to wreck the game, as goal kicks were regularly taken with the ball moving and throw-ins frequently didn't reach the park. The Banff girls had the wind behind them in the first half and made it 2-0 right on halftime. Grove had defended well in the first half and 1-0 might have been fairer. However a halftime substitution for Banff made a great difference and the strong Banff midfield played well into the wind, so Grove hopes of making progress soon disappeared, with a 9th goal going in on the final whistle.
