Gleniffer Thistle recorded a 6-1 victory over Houston United in the SWFL Central-West on Sunday 18th October, while Renfrew Ladies and St Mirren FC Women both suffered home defeats in their respective leagues.<\/p>\n

Bishopton Ladies were not in action after their Scottish Women’s League One fixture against Edinburgh South was postponed.<\/p>\n

Gleniffer secured their second league victory of the season with a 6-1 win over Houston United at Ferguslie Sports Centre.<\/p>\n

Sara Paterson and Tasha Marshall scored twice each, with Colleen Cossar and Marci MacKay also on target for the home side.<\/p>\n

Paterson opened the scoring after cutting in from the left and firing into the top corner.<\/p>\n

Gleniffer continued to create chances, although Houston remained competitive and made it difficult for the home side at times.<\/p>\n

Marshall doubled Gleniffer’s lead after receiving a pass from Paterson and finishing from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n

Paterson then scored her second after collecting the ball in midfield and driving past two players before finishing.<\/p>\n

She was also involved in the fourth goal, passing to Marshall on the left. Marshall set up Cossar, who scored from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n

Paterson helped create Gleniffer’s fifth, running at the Houston defence before squaring the ball for Marshall to finish from close range.<\/p>\n

Houston pulled a goal back before half-time following a move down the right, with the ball played into the box and converted.<\/p>\n

Gleniffer led 5-1 at the interval.<\/p>\n

The visitors improved after the break, with Gleniffer describing the second half as a more competitive and scrappy affair.<\/p>\n

Gleniffer switched to a back three at half-time and added a sixth goal when Marci MacKay headed home from a cross by their trialist number nine.<\/p>\n

Paterson was named Gleniffer’s player of the match following her two goals and involvement in two further goals.<\/p>\n

The result leaves Gleniffer second in the SWFL Central-West table with six points from two matches, behind Alloa Athletic on goal difference.<\/p>\n

Houston remain bottom of the ten-team division, having lost their opening three league matches.<\/p>\n

In the Scottish Women’s Premier League 2, Renfrew Ladies lost 5-0 to Livingston at Holm Park.<\/p>\n

Kaitlyn Canavan gave Livingston a 1-0 half-time lead before the visitors added four more goals after the break.<\/p>\n

Canavan and Vivienne Strain both scored twice, with Justine Strain also on target. Livingston’s fourth goal came from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n

It was Livingston’s first league victory of the season, moving them into ninth place with four points.<\/p>\n

The defeat leaves Renfrew bottom of the ten-team division with one point from eight matches. They have scored four goals and conceded 33.<\/p>\n

In Scottish Women’s League One, St Mirren FC Women were beaten 3-1 by Inverurie Loco Works at Mossedge Community Pitch.<\/p>\n

The visitors took a two-goal lead in the first half, with their second goal coming in the 36th minute.<\/p>\n

Grace Blair pulled a goal back for St Mirren in the 72nd minute after being played through by Casey Canning. Blair finished into the bottom-right corner to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n

However, Inverurie restored their two-goal advantage six minutes later to secure the victory.<\/p>\n

Vikki Riddell, Hannah Innes and Kayleigh Traynor were Inverurie’s goalscorers.<\/p>\n

Following the match, St Mirren highlighted the contribution of academy players who stepped into the senior side and gained valuable match experience.<\/p>\n

The defeat leaves St Mirren fifth with nine points from six matches, while Inverurie sit seventh with eight points from eight games.<\/p>\n

Bishopton Ladies remain second in League One despite their scheduled fixture against Edinburgh South being postponed.<\/p>\n

Bishopton have won all five of their league matches and have 15 points, three behind leaders Queen of the South, who have played three matches more.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to Sunday 25th October, Renfrew Ladies travel to St Johnstone for a 4.00pm kick-off.<\/p>\n

St Mirren visit league leaders Queen of the South at Palmerston Park, with kick-off at 2.00pm.<\/p>\n

Bishopton return to action away to Giffnock SC Women at GSC Auldhouse, kicking off at 12.30pm.<\/p>\n

Gleniffer Thistle are scheduled to visit Linlithgow Rose, with the kick-off time still to be confirmed.<\/p>\n
