Dumbarton Women’s side were held to a goalless draw away to West Park United this afternoon at Huntershill Sports Hub.
Following a scrappy first half in which Dumbarton limited the hosts to shots from distance, the girls took control in the second half and had a number of chances to win it but some bad luck and good goalkeeping meant the side left Bishopbriggs with only a share of the points.
New team captain Eva McInnes took the armband for the first time today after coming on as a half time substitute.
On her first game as skipper she said: “I thought we definitely could have won, we were playing for the win but also we just didn’t create enough chances but we still had more chances than they did.”
Speaking about the game on the whole she said: “The first half was a bit more scrappy and we let them play a bit but we ramped up our game in the second half and made it tougher for them but we were just unlucky not to get the win.
“We had an unlucky run at the end with Gemma and the keepers made a good save.”
Head Coach Gerry Gallacher felt that despite his Dumbarton team creating a number of clear cut chances that a draw was a fair result.
He said: “It was a midfield battle for most of match with plenty of pressure but neither side created enough in front of goal.
“We had two or three clear cut chances but failed to convert.
“West Park did have more of the ball, but the team dealt very well with any attacks but all in all it was a lot of effort and energy from both sides with a draw the being the correct result”
Dumbarton travel to Drumchapel United next week who cut the gap with the girls to a point with their win against Gleniffer today and Gerry and his side will be looking to restore their gap with a win at Donald Dewar next Sunday.
