Aberdeen's Francesca Ogilvie has won the SWPL player of the month for June, after a string of impressive performances.

The winger scored eight goals, including a hat-trick, and provided four assists for her teamates as the Dons secured the SWPL 2 title with two games to go.

Ogilvie's impressive form continued into July, and was capped off with two goals on the final day - including a fantastic curling effort to equalise against Boroughmuir Thistle.

Ogilvie said: “The main thing for us this season was promotion to SWPL 1 and to accomplish that by winning the league. After 10 games, we put ourselves in a great position.

"With the suspension of the season and a large number of games in June though, we had to work hard to make sure we achieved our goal. We’ve certainly earned our success."

Ogilvie said the award for the "icing on the cake" after a successful season for the team.
