A fine attacking display from Queen Margaret thoroughly embarrassed a determined, but distinctly over-powered Glasgow side as the two sides met in their mid-table League 3 clash. QMU cruised to a fantastic 8-0 win over the University of Glasgow 3rd team, in a match they dominated from start to finish.

From their first goal, scored after thirteen minutes, Queen Margaret never looked back, with a second following just six minutes later. The win leaves Queen Margarets in third position in the BUSA Scottish Conference Women's Hockey League 3A with Glasgow Thirds just a couple of places behind them in fifth.

Glasgow managed early on to keep a lid on the QMU side, as possession was largely equal in the first few minutes. However Queen Margaret’s strong attacking attitude soon came through. Their first attempt on goal came after ten minutes although to no avail.

After some slightly weak defending by Glasgow however, Queen Margaret were back in the semi circle and this time number 12 scored an impressive goal.

Following the push back, the ball was in Queen Margaret’s control almost straight away and strong attacking meant they were once again in the semi circle. This time, however, they could not do enough and the determination of the goalkeeper shone through with an impressive save. Nevertheless this determination could not hold the attackers back for long as, after a couple more minutes, Queen Margaret displayed their strength once again culminating in a second goal.

With the half-time result standing at 2-0 Glasgow needed to lift their game, but didn’t manage to rectify the situation in the second half as Queen Margaret’s overpowered them, scoring another 6 goals.

At times during the match, the 8-0 final scoreline would have appeared to flatter Glasgow, who could have ended the game on the receiving end of a cricket scoreline were it not for the resilience and determination of their goalkeeper.
