SNL U17B Dunfermline v Stirling match report
Saturday afternoon 8 Nov saw the DWPC U17 Boys being in their league campaign at home to a young Stirling outfit. It is the first time in a number of years that the club has managed to field its own team at this age level and lots of U17 debuts were handed out.
Dunfermline started the game in dominant fashion and early goals from Euan and Dominik set the tone for the boys. Strong defence and excellent goalkeeping from Aaron kept the visitors goalless in the first period and despite several missed chances DWPC took the lead 5-0 going into the first break.
In Period 2 the opportunity arose for the younger players to step up and debutants Alex and Dev both scored early goals to keep Dunfermline firmly on top 13-2 at the halfway point, with particularly strong defence from Zety.
In the 3rd period Euan and Logan caused the opposition countless problems on the counter attack, stretching the lead further to 22-5.
Stirling came back into the game more in the 4th period with Dunfermline taking the time to practice set plays. The game ended 26-8 with all players getting lots of pool time and goals spread across nine players, the boys come away full of confidence for the season ahead.
Thank you to Ali and Keith for coaching the team.
Team (Goals): Aaron Bayne (GK), Logan Currie (7), Luke Broadbent, John Wilson (2), Toby Hoblyn (1), Euan Ferrier (5), Dominik Lazar (2), Alex Step (1), Dev Birdi (2), James Lees (5), Zety Nagy (1), Billy Stothard (GK).
East District Development Tournament Report
Well done to all the young players who took part in Saturday's East District Tournament. DWPC had 13 excited and eager players, some of whom were playing their first tournament!
DWPC players: Alex, Poppy, Hannah, Arlo, Molly, Danny, Billy, Toby, Ben, Ailsa, Flora, Liam and Maks.
Our players had lots of game time between the DWPC squad and forming part of the Nomads team, organised and coached expertly by Peter 🙂
As a coach, I absolutely loved seeing all the hard work our players put into these events, using their skills and game experience developed at our training sessions and the resultant smiles on their faces. 🙂
Notable standouts include: Ben for some great swimming and passes up the wing to assist, Danny for a couple of excellent goals and Liam for some great tenacity in defence, never giving up on his opponent!
Well done to all that took part and thanks to those 'older' players who supported our younger ones with advice and direction in the pool - that's what team work is all about!
A big thanks to all the supporters who filled the gallery, the TMs and coaches who gave up their time for these young players and the table team of Ruby, Jeanette and Isla. Our thanks also to the DWPC junior players who stayed to help before, during and afterwards.
Finally, it's with sadness that we say "goodbye for now" to Hannah as she moves on from Water polo to concentrate on other activities. We wish her all the very best, she is very welcome to come back to the club any time.
Thanks again to all who took part both in the water and supporting this event. Looking forward to the next one in 13 December!
Match Report: DWPC Ladies v Scotland U18’s – SNL - Friendly
Tuesday 4th November 2025 – Carnegie Centre - Dunfermline.
DWPC Senior Women welcomed Scotland’s U18 girls to Dunfermline for their first game since their narrow Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Warrender in May. There were 6 changes from that team with Erin, Millie and Ava playing for the U18’s and Susan J, Lucy M and Ksenia unavailable. The U/18’s also featured DWPC club members Eve Fielding and Ruby Reid. Making their debuts for the DWPC senior team were Hali, Isla and Ruby Oswald. Across both teams there were 16 DWPC/Menzieshill players playing with eight under 18. Good effort girls.
Dunfermline Ladies started very positively and led 7:1 early in the 2nd period which included an excellent penalty save from Bea. The U/18’s then changed their defensive system to an M-Drop with counter-attack to gain ascendancy in the game and reduce arrears to 9:6. DWPC then rallied again as they began to be successful with accurate perimeter shots after quick passing and switches of play scoring 7 goals without reply to lead 16:6 midway through the 3rd period. This included Isla’s first goal for the senior team. As we continued to circulate our team, the U18’s gained momentum again to win the last period and a half 6:2 which included 3 goals from Ava T.
Reflections:
Considering the youth in our team and the fact that we lost Zara early in the game through 3 major fouls, this was a positive and hardworking performance and result. The U18’s fielded several fast player’s and we did well for the most part to be strong in possession and minimise turnovers leading to their counter-attack. Our experienced players, Julia, Kayleigh and Molly were constant attacking threats at CF and on the perimeter and scored 14 goals between them with Molly top scoring with 7. Amelia added two with accurate lobs from the right wing and Caitlin and Isla chipped in with one each from the left side.
Areas to work on in future training sessions:
- Our technical passing and shooting under pressure including changes of body position to create shooting space.
- 6 v 5 – “Man-up” – We scored only 1 from 3.
- Attacking an ‘M Drop’ Defence
- Our next game is Saturday 22nd November at 1.00pm at Carnegie against Western. Hopefully we can see as many of the 16 as possible at training over the next couple of Tuesday’s so that we can prepare well and give me selection choices.
Match summary:
- Team: Goals(): Bea Meldrum GK, Kayleigh Roy (2), Julia Mackay (5), Molly Meldrum (7), Amelia Paton (2), Lucy Hughes, Isla Edwards, Catlin O’Malley, Ruby Oswald, Zara Christie.
- Exclusions/Penalties (): : Molly Meldrum (1 exc), Zara Christie (3 pens).
- Man-up: 1 scored from 3 attempts (33%) – Penalties: 2/2 – 100%
- Man-down: 0/1 saved (100%) – Penalties conceded: 2/3 (67%)
