Round 5 results - Girls and Ladies


U12G v Beaumont Hills Loss 5-1
Match report: The score does not suggest it, but I was so proud of the way you played & fought today. Playing against a team today which was a very good team. We went up 1-0 through a good corner from Chloe, to which Simone then found the back of the net from close range. BH scored 10 mins later & then again just before 1/2 time. In the 2nd 1/2 we held them out well & nearly scored a few times through some good counter attacks. The game was only decided in the last 10 mins with 3 late goals.

U14G/2 v Winston Hills Loss 5-3

U16G/1 v Pendle Hill Black Loss 8-1
This game was against last years undefeated premiers and we knew that we were going to have a battle on our hands. The Holroyd girls kicked off and strung a number of great passes together down the left side of the field and Sarah scored a great goal from a tight angle. This is the first time that Pendle Hill has been behind in any game for over 2 seasons. This unfortunately only resulted in making them more determined and hungry for the ball. The Holroyd girls staved off quite a few menacing attacks through both good defence and good keeping. At the 20 minute point, Pendle Hill received a penalty which brought about the equalizer. Between that point and half time they managed to score another 3 goals for a half time score of 4–1. In the second half all the girls tried tirelessly, but were ultimately beaten 8–1 by probably one of the best under 16’s sides in the state. Although the score was not truly reflective of it, the girls were able to take a lot of positives out of the game. They can learn from the loss and copy a lot of the good qualities of the oppositions play and introduce it into their own. The girls are still outright 2nd in the competition. Player of the match was Pia although Kristen, Jade and Lauren J also had strong games.

AAL/4 Holroyd Rangers Black 3 defeated Holroyd Rangers White 2
Match report: There was a bit of friendly inter-club rivalry going on with our girls playing against the Blacks today. With both teams only having 12 players that day in the hot weather we knew it was going to be some work. Our team only had 9 players to kick off the match, with 2 on the way and 1 whose car wouldn't start. When it came to 11 on 11 with a reserve each that's when play picked up. We started out well but unfortunately our first goal was disallowed for offside. Then we came back strong putting 2 goals away from Alexis and Nicole P. Not long into the second half and an own goal by us started to dampen spirits. The Blacks came back with 2 more goals not long after to secure the win 3-2. But all in all it was a good game played by both teams. Don't forget about the cake stall next time we are at home in Round 7! Bring lots of cakes and biscuits so we can raise some money for the girls and ladies teams.
