The squad, which is almost entirely a schoolgirl team with just a trio of non-school age players in their ranks, have played three and won three now in the newly formed Highlands and Islands League.

Their league debut saw them hit 19 without reply against Nairn before playing with just ten men for much of their second match against Buckie ended 4-0 in their favour.

Last weekend promised to be the biggest test of the young squad’s mettle as they travelled to Inverness to play Clachnacuddin WFC who themselves had cruised in the early rounds with a 20-0 win over Kirkwall City Ladies to their credit.
