Forfar’s trip to Edinburgh to meet newly promoted Boroughmuir ended with both sides sharing the points in a game of few clear-cut chances.

Forfar produced the first good opening only to see Tracy Brogan’s chip cleared off the line.  On the half hour Fiona McNicoll in the Farmington goal, made an excellent save to deny Broughmuir’s Alana Marshall.  Forfar’s best spell of the game came in the last ten minutes of the first half.  Firstly Caren Webster shot agonisingly wide following some slick passing from Kim Thomson and Emily Phillips, which opened up the home defence. Phillips came close herself shortly after, only to see her shot go wide as well. A rare but well struck left foot shot from Avril Gourlay brought a fine save from Muir keeper Linsey Wright.

For Boroughmuir, Kerry Montgomery and Karen McKenzie looked lively, the former coming closest with a free kick, which narrowly cleared the bar.
 
The restart saw the home side have their best spell of the game and for the first ten minutes looked likely to take the lead, but their shooting was somewhat wayward.

The introduction of just returned from holiday playmaker Nicola Davidson and debutant from the Lassies side, Emma Percy, sparked some new life into Forfar’s play as they pushed to break the deadlock.  In the dying minutes McNicoll was forced to make another good save as Boroughmuir strove to force home their numerical advantage.

With both defences holding up well both sides no doubt will rue their missed opportunities but should reflect that the draw was the right result.
