Results from girls and ladies matches

U12G 4-2 Loss v Pendle Hill Blk
Welcome to the players & parents for another year with 4 new players Danielle, Nez, Vania & Victoria coming into our side. We started our first game without Karly our regular keeper & our backup keeper Simone was out with injured fingers so Danielle went in goals & for a girl who has never kept before did a great job & I would really like to thank her for that. This was a very good game with Pendle Hill being just that bit better on the day. PH scored first & then we equalised after a great run by Simone passing the ball to Chloe who beat a girl & then finished it off with a great shot. Unfortunately we let PH score just before the 1/2 time whistle. In the 2nd half PH scored another 2 goals through some good work by their very good striker. The girls never let their head drop and continued to play well with Victoria making a great run down the right side, cutting in, then beating the keeper only to be bought down & earning a penalty which Courtney finished off confidently. The game finished 4-2 loss with all the girls playing well and the new girls fitting in really well.

U14G 2-1 Loss v Kellyville.
Match report: Good effort by the girls for their first game. Need to concentrate more on the field and stop bunching up. More concentration also needed at training.

U16G 8-0 Win v Pendle Hill Wht
Match report: Firstly a warm welcome to the newest members of the team, Kristen, Pia, Monique, Mirna, Miray, Suz-Anna and Vivien. On a warm and sunny Autumn morning the 2007 finally kicked off. The girls started the game all fired up, and keen to start playing. This was event from the very first kick off where the girls put together 8 unbroken passes and nearly scored. The Holroyd girls clearly had the run of play for the first 10 minutes, and were unlucky not to score on a number of occasions. After a goal mouth scramble one of newest and youngest girls, Miray, scored her first ever goal. Soon after the restart, Miray scored her 2nd ever goal in much a similar manner as her first.

The third goal will go down as one of the goals of the year (In any level of soccer). The Holroyd girls got a free kick 10 metres out and to the right of the penalty area, when Sarah calmly steps up, bends, the ball around the wall straight into the top left of the goal. The rest of the half the Holroyd girls dominated play with several “near” misses, Sarah scored another and the girls went to the break 4 - nil up.

The second half was much the same as the first, lots of missed opportunities where the girls clearly dominated the game with opposition that may struggle in the top division. Sarah scored three second half goals before earning a well earned stint in goals. Donya scored her first ever goal from a volley out side the box and then calmly lobbing the ball into the top right corner of the net (must be all the hard practice).

This week's “Woman” of the Match award was awarded to Sarah for an impressive 5 goal performance. Special mention to Monique for her very reliable performance in the backs. Sandy and Kim for great general all-round play and developing leadership abilities and to Kristen for having a faultless performance in the goals. Miray for her 2 goals and tireless attitude and the rest of the team who all tried their hardest throughout the game.


AAL Wht 6-0 Win v North Rocks
Match report: The first match of the season was not looking good for the whites with 3 girls away, 1 moving and 2 injured in previous trial matches. But the injuries had healed for the match. The passing skills of the girls seemed to impress the sidelines which kept the teams spirits high. Good goals from Sherrie, Kristen, Sarah and newbie Alexis which led to the end score of 6-0. Special thanks to Sarah and Jade from the 16 girls who helped out in defence and attack. Good luck for the season to all female teams.

AAL Blk 5-3 Win v Pendle Hill
