A Message from Paul Brownlie

With the 2022/23 campaign firmly in the past and the forthcoming season almost upon us, I am proud of the progression at the club in the past year and am excited for the challenges that lay ahead.

Although disappointed at narrowly missing out on a place in the top-six, the commitment and endeavour from the players to reach the Semi-Final of the Scottish Cup was an unprecedented achievement for the club.

The opportunity to play at the National stadium is a memory we’ll look back on fondly but we want to progress further.

The squad hit new heights last season and that achievement is shared with supporters, whose effort and dedication played a vital part in our success on the pitch.

The support and connection the players have had with supporters in the past year has allowed the club to continue to develop in the right direction.

Attendances at K-Park throughout our maiden season at the stadium has continued to grow and we are excited for the next step in that journey.

Announcing season tickets is the start of an historic chapter for women’s football at the club and an important step in our development.

We know you will continue to support us on that journey and we look forward to welcoming you back at K-Park in the near future.

A message from the captain

I’m really proud to be captain of this team, I love the direction the club is going in.

When I first joined, it was Motherwell in name, but not a lot else. There wasn’t a huge association, there was a disconnect between the women’s team and the rest of the club. I feel really privileged to have seen how far its grown.

When I look at the standards on and off the pitch, I think it has changed and improved for the better. I think the club and we as the women’s team realised, we still have a way to go and I think to continue to improve every season is definitely our aim.

Motherwell wrapped up their pre-season preparations with a commanding 0-7 victory over Fleetwood Town at Poolfoot Farm on Sunday

A selection of players etched their name onto the scoresheet, with Carla Boyce, Kaitlyn Canavan, Jo Addie, Kaela McDonald-Nguah, Tara McGonigle and a Bailley Collins brace ensuring a positive conclusion to the 2023/24 pre-season schedule.

Head Coach, Paul Brownlie made six changes to the side that suffered defeat to defending SWPL1 champions Glasgow City last week, with Rebecca Cameron, Hannah Cunningham, Katie Rice, Kaitlyn Canavan, Tara McGonigle and Morgan Hay all returning to the starting XI.

Looking to build momentum ahead of our opening SWPL1 match with Aberdeen, Motherwell started firmly on the front foot, with Boyce breaking the deadlock in the early exchanges.

Latching onto the ball on the left, the striker floated a composed finish over the head of the keeper that sailed through the box before nesting into the bottom corner.

The women of steel soon doubled their advantage midway through the first half, with Canavan expertly escaping her marker to convert Collins’ low delivery from the right.

Moments after the restart, the visitors added a third in quick succession. Canavan turned provider after rounding the goalkeeper before picking out Collins, who calmly placed her shot into the bottom-left corner.

As the second half resumed, Motherwell picked up from where they left off, racking up their fourth of the afternoon. Rice’s dangerous delivery from the right ricocheted through a number of players in the box before eventually reaching the feet of Addie at the back post, who fired home on the half-volley.

Motherwell continued to flood the opposition penalty area, and were soon awarded a penalty after substitute Gill Inglis’ cross struck the arm of a defender in the box, leaving the referee no alternative but to award the spot kick. McDonald-Nguah stepped up and drilled an unstoppable strike beyond the reach of the keeper.

McGonigle got onto the scoresheet as the second half progressed, firing home Louisa Boyes cross from the right, earning her first non-competitive goal for the club in the process. 6-0.

Collins picked out the bottom-right corner in the latter stages of the game for her second and Motherwell’s seventh of the afternoon in what proved to be a prolific day on the Fylde coast.

Brownlie’s side will now look ahead to the opening weekend of the SWPL1 campaign, with a trip to Balmoral stadium to face Aberdeen.

A trip to the Fylde coast awaits, as Paul Brownlie’s side look to conclude their 2023/24 pre-season campaign in style, with Fleetwood Town the hosts at Poolfoot Farm training facility this afternoon.

The Tale of the Tape

Motherwell

Motherwell will be looking to put the finishing touches on their pre-season preparations, as next weekend’s opening league meeting with Aberdeen approaches. The women of steel have encountered a variety of opposition and playing styles throughout this pre-season campaign, with tests against Gartcairn, Celtic, Boroughmuir Thistle, Hearts, East Fife and defending champions Glasgow City all building towards the opening weekend of the SWPL1 campaign.

The visitors will be looking to replicate the performance that ensured a comprehensive 9-0 victory over East Fife last month, with Fleetwood providing an unknown entity and a unique test for the squad.

Motherwell will be travelling with a lightened squad, as Amy Anderson, Georgie Rafferty, Eve Donald & Lucy Ronald all recover from injury, whilst Laura McCartney, Lori Gardner, & Kayla Jardine remain unavailable for this afternoons encounter.

Fleetwood

The hosts secured a top-six finish in North West Women’s Regional League last season, finishing in fifth-place, eight points shy of Salford City FC Lionesses in second.

The Cods have been proactive in their preparations for the forthcoming campaign, with a 3-2 victory over Chorley Women building upon a narrow 2-1 defeat to Preston North End in a behind closed-doors friendly at Bamber Bridge the previous week.

The women of steel’s final pre-season encounter will build upon prior meetings with Gartcairn, Celtic, Boroughmuir Thistle, Hearts, East Fife and defending champions Glasgow City ahead of the opening weekend of the SWPL1 campaign.

A disappointing evening for the women of steel, as defending SWPL1 champions Glasgow City cruised to a comfortable victory in a behind closed doors friendly at Dalziel Park on Wednesday.

Bea Prades broke the deadlock midway through the first half following a goal-line scramble, with Kinga Kozak doubling the visitors advantage moments later.

Lauren Davidson accurately picked out the bottom-right corner with a free-kick on the stroke of half time, with Haley Lauder and Miracle Porter both netting late into the second half.

Head coach, Paul Brownlie made five changes to the side that started Sunday’s 9-0 victory over East Fife. Eve Donald, Kaela McDonald-Nguah, Bailley Collins and Jo Addie all returned to the starting XI, whilst Emily Mutch replaced Rebecca Cameron in goal.

Looking for a response to their previous pre-season defeat to Durham Women, City started brightly, testing Mutch within the opening few minutes.

A low delivery from the left sailed invitingly towards Sophia Martin at the front post, but Mutch reacted well to deny the forward with a smart stop.

The Motherwell stopper was called into action moments later, with Davidson drilling a low shot from the edge of the box, but Mutch was able to gather.

Motherwell’s resolute defence was quickly undone in minutes midway through the first half, as City netted two quickfire goals.

The women of steel failed to clear their lines from a dangerous corner on the right, and following a goal line scramble, Prades smashed home the opener from a few yards out.

Seconds after the restart, City recovered possession through Davidson, with Kozak’s overlapping run exploiting the high Motherwell backline; and the midfielder calmly picked out the bottom left corner with a composed finish.

As the half time whistle approached, Glasgow tripled their advantage. After initially being impeded inches outside of the penalty area, Davidson stepped up and curled a precise effort into the bottom right corner.

The hosts came close to narrowing the deficit as the second half resumed, with McDonald-Nguah narrowly evading the target with a shot from distance moments after Carla Boyce rattled the crossbar from 30-yards.

Lauder capitalised on a moment of defensive indecision to secure City’s fourth of the game, converting from a few yards out.

In the latter stages of the second half, the visitors sealed the game with a fifth decisive goal. A low cross from the right was met by Porter in the six-yard box and her slight touch ricocheted off the boot of Addie, who’s lunging tackle diverted the strikers attempt beyond the reach of Mutch in goal.

E. Mutch, E. Donald, J. Addie, C. Watson, B. Collins, G. Inglis, S. Gibb, L. Boyes, K. McDonald-Nguah, C. Boyce, K. Jardine.

Motherwell dusted off Friday nights blues with a comprehensive victory over East Fife in a behind closed doors friendly at K-Park on Sunday.

Captain Gill Inglis broke the deadlock early on with an accurate strike from distance, with a Carla Boyce hat-trick, Kayla Jardine double, a brace from Kaitlyn Canavan and a late Bailley Collins volley sealing an exceptional 9-0 victory.

Head coach, Paul Brownlie made six changes to the side that started Friday’s encounter, with Morgan Hay, Georgie Rafferty, Louisa Boyes, Sarah Gibb, and Kayla Jardine all returning to the starting XI, whilst Rebecca Cameron returned in goal.

On the hunt for their first victory of the 2023/24 pre-season campaign, Motherwell started the first half firmly on the front foot, with Canavan coming close to an early opener after cutting inside from the right, but the strikers effort narrowly evaded the far post.

The visitors struggled to maintain possession in the opening phases of play, with the women of steel quickly retrieving control of the ball and finding opportunities across both flanks. Motherwell continued to flood the opposition penalty area and their persistence was soon rewarded with a quickfire double.

Inglis accurately picked out the top corner with a precise curling effort from the edge of the box before a loose pass at the back was expertly intercepted by Jardine who coolly converted.

Jardine continued to cause the visitors problems cutting inside from the left flank before picking out both Tara McGonigle and Canavan, but Motherwell couldn’t capitalise.

The hosts eventually netted their third of the afternoon on the stroke of half time. Jardine again worked her way into a threatening position on the left before accurately picking out Boyce with a floated delivery across the face of goal, and the striker smashed a low strike beyond the reach of the keeper.

As the second half resumed, Motherwell picked up where they left off, forcing East Fife into trading possession deep into their own half, and another two quickfire goals followed.

Boyce netted her second of the game, with a high cross from the left drifting invitingly towards the striker, who headed home for her second and Motherwell’s fourth of the afternoon.

A mix-up in the penalty area preceded a goal-line scramble, which allowed Motherwell to force through their fifth.

Boyce completed her hat-trick soon after, heading home from close range. Canavan made it seven after a perfectly-weighted through ball from Jardine sliced through the visiting defence, leaving the striker one-on-one with the keeper, but despite her initial effort blocked; the striker prodded home the rebound.

Canavan secured her brace moments later after substitute Kaela McDonald-Nguah found the forward lurking in the box, and Canavan expertly escaped her marker to prod home Motherwell’s eighth.

Substitute Collins made an instant impact from the bench, lashing home a volley from the right, picking out the far-left corner for Motherwell’s ninth and final goal of the game.

Line-ups:

R. Cameron, M. Hay, T. McGonigle, G. Rafferty, C. Watson, G. Inglis, S. Gibb, L. Boyes, K. Jardine, C. Boyce, K. Canavan.

“Hannah is versatile in position, she has the qualities to play at full-back and centre-half. Being left sided, she’ll bring great balance to the team and also add more competition to the defensive area of the squad.”
