“There was such a family feel to the day and it really felt like we were bringing the community together. The Renfrewshire Provost Lorraine Cameron was also there and players from our ASN team, too. “Our Under-14s were the ball attendants and our younger players were mascots. We had around 300 attend which was up from the first game despite the Old Firm Scottish Cup game being on at the same time. “For me, the biggest positive was the crowd and the atmosphere. Sometimes there’s not much you can do and you have to hold your hands up to efforts like that. “We missed a few good chances and their goal was a stunning finish from outside the box. We had spells where we dominated and played really well when we were fully focused. “I think a draw was reflective of the game as a whole. There was a family feel to it and the atmosphere was terrific. She told Renfrewshire Live Sport: “It was a brilliant day. While Cooper was content with a point, the dedicated coach was more pleased to see the entire community turning out in numbers to cheer on the club. Striker Ceara Macintyre fired the hosts ahead early on after pouncing on a goalkeeper error from a free-kick, with Stenny’s Lucia Zamorano levelling things up with a screamer from distance. The Saints welcomed Stenhousemuir for their much-anticipated second game at the Paisley team’s ground this season. St Mirren Women head coach Kate Cooper was proud to see so many Buddies come together to support the club at the SMiSA Stadium.
