Second-half goals from Natasha Flint and Claire O’Riordan secured the victory for Alonso’s side in the first cup final held at the national stadium with over 10,000 supporters in attendance. "It was very hard to pick the girls up after we came within two minutes of winning the league last Sunday. "I was worried about the mental reaction, if they didn't win this game, but they never give up or let me down. "And we just got back into work as we do every day every week and we reaped the rewards today. "It can only mean that the game can utilise that and continue to grow and again it is really important for women's football here in Scotland and around the world.”
