	Forth Vs Glenorchy . Q/F's Valerie Fraser Cup	931 Tage her
	Forth Camanachd put on a fine display of women’s shinty this Sunday in a determined battle to stake their place in the semi final’s of the Valerie Fraser Cup. After narrowly missing out in the quarters last season Forth ladies seemed adamant that this season would see them back on the road to the final; the pinnacle of the women’s shinty calendar. Visitors Glenorchy however would be no pushover and the local team knew there was no doubt that a hard-fought game was on the cards. Weather conditions of every variety and the custom gale force winds at the Levenhall pitch did not stop Forth from putting the Glenorchy defence under pressure from the very start. Within minutes the visitors were under immense pressure on their goal line which soon resulted in Jo Gorniak hitting the back of the net following some speedy footwork fooling their defence and leaving the goalkeeper with no hope. The early goal clearly lifted the already victory seeking Forth team and the next goal soon followed after some great playmaking in midfield left captain, Katy Smith with a clear and unstoppable shot on goal. The game continued with Forth retaining most of the possession and a strong midfield line consistently feeding any potential attacking balls straight back on to the Glenorchy goal. On the rare occasion of a Glenorchy attack the Forth defence remained calm and in control, swiftly dealing with any potential danger and putting the ball back down the field. With so much possession and top quality teamwork amongst the midfield and forwards it was only a matter of time before another goal was scored, this time by Jenny Haggart capitalizing on a poor Glenorchy clearance. The same followed as Ruth 'Stacey' Bordoli was quick to react to an insufficient by-hit which on landing at her feet was superbly struck right back into the opposition’s goal net. Whilst the second half brought an even stronger wind making play difficult, the local team surpassed themselves in retaining high quality play in the face off the opposition who returned from half time hungry for goals and determined not to let their place in the semis slip away easily. Unfortunately for Glenorchy, Forth kept up the pressure and any attempted attacks were quickly quelled by the defence. Superior play continued for the home team throughout the second half and they were rewarded with a final goal as Haggart reacted to a goalkeeper mistake, leaving the visitors no doubt as to which team were on their way to the cup semi finals. Highlights of the game: Forth's ability to injure own team members during warm up. Lindsey Smith breaking the record for fastest ever self inflicted injury. Cobes' keeping a cool head further winding up markers Durkins accidental further harm to injured parties The mutant hands Baby Smith's shoe losing shinty stories
