Round 4 results - Girls and Ladies

U12G v Pendle Hill White Won 2-0
Well played girls. Our first win for the season. It is so pleasing to see you keeping your positions that you are told to play, especially the back four of Sarah, Simone, Beth & Nez who were so strong in defence. We started off strong with an early goal through a good pass from Simone to find Chloe who beat a player & finished it off with a good shot and scored. Our 2nd goal came from a planned corner we have been practising. It was a hard low cross which Courtney hit beautifully first time into the top corner. We then dominated for the rest of the game unlucky not to score more girls.
U14G/2 v North Rocks Won 6-0
Match report: Excellent teamwork today, a lot of unselfish play. Led 1-0 at half time, than played well in the 2nd half to put 5 goals away. Goals scored by Rochelle (3), Renea, Daniela and Sheridan. Nice passing and calling throughout the game, still bunching a little, but we will work on that at training. Good defence at the back by Larissa, Rebekah, Cassie, Linda, Megan and Shayley. Good to see Renea and Natasha work out their centre midfield play. Nice game also from Emily with her running and passing. Not forgetting our 2nd half impact player swapping with Megan to come out of goals, well done Natalia. Also our little roving player Skye who seems to be everywhere on the field. Finally the Falcon Award goes to Natasha for her forgetting to duck when the ball was kicked at her. Peter (coach) and Tracey (Manager). PS: Don't get too complacent as the season is only young.
U16G/1 v Greystanes Draw 2-2
Match report: It’s amazing what a difference a bye and a lack of training (due to bad weather makes)! The girls commenced the game very flat, struggled to hold their positions and let the opposition dictate the mid field. Mary was every reliable in defence and Kristen prevented the opposition form scoring early in the game. Late in the first half the girls started to put their game together and were unlucky not to have scored through strong shots from Sarah and Sandy, only to be denied by the opposition keeper. Half time Nil all. The second half, the girls came out with more intensity. Mid half, a goal mouth scrambles lead to a goal by Sarah to put the girls one nil up. Almost immediately after the kick, a defensive lapse let the opposition in to equalize. With 3 minutes left of play, Sarah got her second after a quick throw in down the right side, some scrambling in the penalty area and finally a well executed shot. Again, immediately after the kick off, and with only seconds on the clock and some half hearted defence, Greystanes managed the equalizer basically on the full time whistle. Final Score 2 all. Player of the match went to Sandy who never gave up although not feeling 100%. (Girls – if you want to have a chance at this competition who have to play as a team for the whole game and not just in patches as well as implementing the skills you are taught at training).

AAL/4 Blk v Guildford County Loss 3-1

AAL/4 Wht v St Josephs Draw 1-1
As each week passes you can see the improvement in the white team. The girls are playing with their heads up more, looking for passes rather than just kicking it. Good playing by all.
