Motherwell ran out eventual and comfortable 4-0 winners in their third and final friendly match of pre-season against Stirling University.

A double from Leanne Crichton, and further goals from Gill Inglis and Nicole Cairney, wrapped up the win for the claret and amber.

It was an evenly contested first half with neither team really grabbing a hold of the game.

Head coach Paul Brownlie then made seven changes at half-time to rotate his team and in the second half, Motherwell showed their dominance.

Crichton broke the deadlock for the ’Well with a fine effort from a free-kick from 25 yards out.

Motherwell made it 2-0 soon after. Some excellent build-up play down the right-hand side led to Inglis being found in space and she finished past the Stirling keeper to double the advantage.

The win would be all but wrapped up when Crichton scored her second free-kick of the match.

Cairney then got her name on the scoresheet near the end of the match when she finished from close range after Stirling failed to clear a set-piece.

Motherwell’s competitive season gets underway next Sunday when they face Rangers in the SWPL Cup.

“We’re content with a point, but not overly happy. But we showed mental strength and got what we deserved.”

Motherwell rescued a point as Tony Watt’s equaliser secured a 1-1 league draw at St Johnstone.

Stephen O’Donnell’s own goal late in the first half put the hosts ahead, but Tony Watt rescued a point with 10 minutes to go.

Manager Graham Alexander made one change to his starting side from that which lost 3-2 to Hibernian on the opening day.

Tony Watt dropped to the bench, with Connor Shields coming into the team to make his first appearance in claret and amber.

Motherwell had the first clear chance of the match after five minutes.

A lovely threaded ball from Slattery to Van Veen inside the box on the right set up the Dutchman for a shot at goal.

Picking his spot in the bottom-right corner, Clark got down brilliantly with a strong hand to turn it away.

Disaster almost struck at the other end two minutes later.

Donnelly was caught in possession 30 yards from his own goal and May was immediately presented with a one-on-one opportunity.

Advancing on the penalty spot, he pulled the trigger but an excellent recovery from Mugabi to slide in and stop the shot saved a near-certain opener for the Saints.

With 17 minutes gone, Motherwell were certain they’d taken the lead.

Slattery’s delivery from the right on a short corner was met perfectly by Woolery, who steered his close-range header towards goal.

Goalkeeper Clark was alive to the situation, however, and managed to get down incredibly to tip the ball away on the line.

St Johnstone grew in stature thereafter, controlling large spells with the ball, and got their reward with 10 minutes left in the half.

Wotherspoon cut inside on the left and sent a bending ball into the box.

It sailed through everyone, taking a nick off of O’Donnell at the back post before finding the net.

Motherwell started the second half brighter and were scratching their heads as to how they didn’t have the equaliser five minutes in.

O’Donnell’s long throw from the right was flicked on by the head of Mugabi, leaving Clark stranded.

The ball cannoned back off the left post and bounced down where Van Veen was on hand to pounce, but Clark reacted quicker to smother.

The chances kept coming. Lamie’s close-range header from Carroll’s free-kick was turned away by Clark on the hour mark, while Woolery’s attempt to thread Van Veen on a three v three breakaway was thwarted.

Then the breakthrough came with 10 to go, with Slattery feeding Watt, who moved it wide for Lawless.

Lawless did brilliantly on the right to stand up a cross into the box to find the run of Watt, who showed great composure to volley home from 12 yards and get Motherwell level.

The visitors went in search of the winner. The ever-positive Slattery saw an opportunity open up from 30 yards, with his low drive sliding off the slick surface and just going wide of the left-hand post.

Watt then thought he’d won it with six to go. O’Donnell put in a great ball from the right and the striker peeled away, but couldn’t get a connection to score from point-blank range.

“We have to look at the positives from the Hibs game and also what we can improve on.”

We have been forced to withdraw from participating in the SPFL Trust Trophy in the 2021/22 season.

Due to a shortage of players, we will not be able to fulfil our first round tie with Stranraer, and have pulled our B team out of the competition.

We are disappointed that the young players, many of whom are first year pros, will not have the opportunity to take part in the game due to injuries and Covid-19 issues.

Our Club Academy Scotland Under 18s game with Hamilton Academical this Friday has also been postponed as a result.

“Consistent with previous announcements in respect of similar issues in the group stage of the Premier Sports Cup, the SPFL Board has now confirmed that any club unable or unwilling to field a team in an SPFL Trust Trophy first or second round tie will forfeit the match on the basis of a 3-0 defeat,” a statement from the SPFL said.

“Accordingly, Stranraer have been awarded a 3-0 win and will play Partick Thistle in the second round of the competition next month.”
