U12G v Baulkham Hills Won 1-0
Match report: A very entertaining game today with two evenly sided teams. We started off very strongly with a good move down the right side which was in turn crossed into the penalty area where Courtney hit it well which went through the keepers hands & then rolled to the goal line only to unluckily stop on the goal line. A couple of minutes later Simone put a nice ball through for Chloe who beat the defence with good speed & ball control & then slotted it nicely into the bottom corner of the net. After that goal BH really started to play well but the girls defence today was outstanding with Nez, Simone, Beth & Sarah playing a great defensive game. At 1/2 time it was 1-0 & a very even game. The second 1/2 was much the same with Shayal, Vania & Danielle working hard in midfield helping out in defence & attack. Up front Courtney, Hayley, Reg & Kirstyn really applied a lot of pressure & it was good to see improvement from Kirstyn & Georgia & seeing Hayley getting back to the form she was in at the end of last year. In the end it was a very hard fought win with every girl putting in 100% especially Chloe & Sarah making some goal saving tackles near the end of the match & with Karly in goals keeping everything out & coming off her goal line confidently discharging the BH attack. Also nice clearance kicks. A really pleasing result. PS: I hope manager Sarah enjoyed her Mother's Day drink!
U14G v Lidcombe Loss 9-1
Very disappointing 1st half, we need to mark our partners at all times or they will score 8 goals, as they did. Luckily they didn't score more. We also need to attack the ball when defending, not run along side and watch the opposition run with it. Big improvement in the 2nd half, drawing 1-1, thanks to some good goalkeeping from Megan. Goal scored by Daniella.
U16G v Winston Hills Won 4-0
Match report: An overall sloppy game by the standards that the girls had set throughout the year to date. The first half resulted in too many mistimed and misplaced first time kicks which simply did not find their marks. Having said that, Sarah and Sandy combined well for Sandy to take a well executed shot for her first goal of the year. 1-0 up was the half time score. After a half time rev up, the second half the girls played with a lot more entertaining style of soccer, pushing the ball around, accurate passing and holding possession and looking for players running into gaps. Sandy knocked in her 2nd and 3rd goals to give her first ever hat trick. And Sarah finally knocked in her most difficult shot of the game to give the girls a comfortable 4-0 win. Player of the match was no contest with Captain Sandy being the clear winner for other than scoring the 3 goals, for her tireless efforts, non stop running and general leadership. Kristan again played well in goals pulling off some great saves and the two Lauren's and Jade playing strong throughout. With my new found skills from my recent Coaching Course should bring with it a few interesting drills and challenges for training. (Look out!)
