Park’s Motor Group SWPL

Glasgow City remain a single point ahead in the SWPL 1 table following a six-goal blast
against Motherwell. Lauren Davidson gave City a fifth minute lead and after Megan Foley
had made it two, Davidson scored her second. Priscilla Chinchilla then produced two superb
strikes from outside the area ahead of half time. Mairead Filton rounded off the scoring with
another long range effort, nine minutes from time.
Rangers kept themselves on course in second place, one point behind but with two
games in hand, after getting over an early setback to beat Partick Thistle. Linzi Taylor
headed Partick into a fifth minute lead but Rangers hit back strongly, Kayla McCoy and Zoe
Ness turing the score around and McCoy netting a second before the interval. McCoy
completed her hat-trick early in the second half and Lizzie Arnot added a further two, one
from the penalty spot.
Celtic continued the chase in third place with a 3-0 success away to Aberdeen.
Charlie Wellings gave them the lead from close range and they rounded off the win with two
second half strikes, Jacynta Galabadaarachchi making two and Tegan Bowie powering in a
left footed effort in injury time.
Spartans are starting to hit their best form and have moved to within three points of
fourth placed Hibernian after beating them 2-0 in their local derby. Rebecca Galbraith
slotted home to put them ahead four minutes before half time and the striker wrapped up the
win when she headed in her second from a corner, just after the hour.
Hearts and Hamilton Academical meanwhile battled out a 1-1 draw which does
neither side a big favour as they look to climb out of the bottom two. Both goals came in the
first half, Aimee Anderson giving Hearts a seventeenth minute lead which was cancelled out
nine minutes later by Lauren Evans.
Dundee Utd kept up their march towards the SWPL 2 title by beating Queen’s
Park 3-1. United were made to work hard by the Spiders though, falling behind midway
through the second half when Rachel Connor put the visitors in front. Jade McLaren
equalised four minutes later and a late double from Tammy Harkin
secured a result which keeps United

fifteen points clear at the top.
