Alloa Athletic Women have established a new committee to help drive the continued growth and development of the women’s team.

The new committee has been formed at an important point in the team’s journey, following the club’s first ever piece of silverware and with a clear ambition to build on that success.

The committee will look to continue the development of the team, create greater opportunities for players and strengthen the foundations of women’s football at Alloa Athletic.

The committee consists of Jamie Davis, Kevin Gallagher, Bill Anderson, June McLaughlin, Lynsey McGuigan and David Howatson.

The group will focus on helping create an environment where players can develop, local talent can progress and the women’s team can continue to grow as an important part of the Alloa Athletic family.

Kieren Mooney, General Manager of Alloa Athletic, said:

“This is an important moment for Alloa Athletic Women. We’ve taken a significant step forward by winning our first piece of silverware, but we don’t want to stand still.

“The creation of this committee gives us the structure and experience around the team to help us build on what we’ve achieved, support our players and create more opportunities for women and girls within the club.

“There is a lot of hard work ahead, but there is also a lot to be excited about. We want to build something that Alloa Athletic can be proud of, both now and for the future.”

The establishment of the committee represents another important step forward as Alloa Athletic Women look to build for the future, with the ambition to achieve continued success on the pitch while creating lasting opportunities off it.

Alloa Athletic Women suffered a 4-2 defeat to Central at Little Kerse in the SWFL Regional League Cup.

Coming off an opening-day defeat to Murieston and a victory over Carron Huskies, Alloa made a bright start and took the lead through Jenna Woods. Great work from Amy Cully down the right saw her cut the ball back for Woods, who calmly slotted home.

Central responded almost immediately, levelling the game just a minute later.

Alloa restored their advantage on 17 minutes, with Cully getting in behind the Central defence before keeping her composure to slot the ball underneath the goalkeeper.

Cully and Smith both had opportunities to extend Alloa’s lead, while Central also had a goal ruled out for offside as the visitors went into the interval 2-1 ahead.

Central came out strongly after the break, with Blair McAlpine scoring twice inside eight minutes to turn the game around and put the hosts 3-2 ahead.

Just two minutes later, Eva Rule added a fourth to give Central a two-goal cushion.

Alloa threw everything forward in the closing stages, moving to two up front in an attempt to get back into the contest, but ultimately couldn’t find a way through as Central held on for the victory.

The match also saw the first outing for Alloa’s new pink kit, sponsored by Davis Distributions.

Attention now turns to the Scottish Cup, with Alloa travelling to Ralston to face Glennifer Thistle this Sunday at 1.30pm. The Wasps booked their place in the next round with a thrilling 7-5 victory over Grampian in the previous round.

“We scored two good goals and there were plenty of positive minutes in the game, but ultimately we wanted to win, so we’re disappointed. We’ll take the lessons from it, work on the areas we need to improve and keep building.

“We’ve got a few players coming back from injury which is a positive, and now we turn our attention to the Scottish Cup this weekend and look to put things right.” — Jill Leiper
