City trio make SWPL team of the week

Must read

[BBC]

Chloe Logan (Partick Thistle): Made some vital saves in the first half before Hibs’ opener. But the Thistle keeper produced a huge stop in injury time to help Thistle to a good draw against an in-form Hibs side.

Emma Lawton (Celtic): Such a brave header for her goal in the win over Montrose. I’m not sure she was favourite to get there but sheer desire won through. Continues to play a key role for Celtic in getting forward and on another day could have had three assists.

Kimberley Smit (Glasgow City): Helped the league leaders to a clean sheet in the comfortable victory over Spartans. So composed and calm on the ball, and always looks to play out from the back.

Lizzie Waldie (Hearts): Solid at the back for Hearts as Aberdeen piled on some late pressure. Produced a terrific goalline clearance and was a real threat at set-pieces.

Lisa Forrest (Glasgow City): Played a significant part in another big win for City, with a goal and two assists. Good afternoon for a player who is developing all the time in a City shirt.

Katie Lockwood (Glasgow City): Her City career started off fairly slowly, but it looks like she’s finding her feet. The midfielder’s opener set the tone for a convincing win and she also set up a goal.

Cara Henderson (Partick Thistle): Such a key player for Thistle. Her stunning goal early in the second half earned Brian Graham’s side a big away point.

Georgia Timms (Hearts): Back in the Hearts side, and was in the thick of much that was good about them. She was lively, and scored the second goal to make things more comfortable against Aberdeen.

Louisa Boyes (Motherwell): Her second hat-trick of the season, this one helped Motherwell to an impressive win over Queen’s Park in the battle for sixth.

Jane Ross (Rangers): In the right place at the right time for her opening goal as she levelled things after Dundee United had taken a shock lead. The forward’s second was a brilliant strike from 25 yards. Two goals in 11 minutes helped turn the game on his head.

Saoirse Noonan (Celtic): The Irish striker’s goal not only broke the deadlock against Montrose, it also provided a much-needed spark for Celtic. A further two goals sealed Noonan’s hat-trick and a comfortable win in the end.
