An early goal to us from a corner then basic mistakes at the back
allowed GC to score 4 goals late in the half.  If we make mistakes like
this against quality opposition they will punish us for them.  Defenders
and mids must track the runs of the players they are marking.  A tighter
2nd half kept both teams scoreless.  We had at least 3 good chances to
score but could not find the back of the net, either the shot went over
or it was not struck well enough.  We need to step up now for the
finals.

U14G div 1 v Pendle Hill Loss 4-0
U16G div 2 v Castle Hill RSL Loss 2-0

Despite most of the game spent in the oppositions half we could not
manage to convert any of our chances.  CHRSL get 2 runs into our half
and get 2 shots on goal only to convert both of them - sometimes this
game can be so cruel.  We controlled the midfield really well and
tackled superbly.  Great defence from Larissa, Chantelle, Rochelle and
DJ.  Shayley was superb alternating between stopper and centre mid.
Sarah R tackled and won the ball numerous times, and Natasha and Adriana
both supported well on the wings.  Our forwards tried relentlessly but
could not break free and get off the killer shot we needed.  We had many
many shots on goal only to have them blocked or saved by their keeper.
Megan made 2 great saves in goal for us, firstly running out to kick
clear then a 2nd time going to ground in front of their striker to block
the shot.  Kacey tackled relentlessly in the mids and seemed to be
everywhere, earning the Player of the Match award.  Girls - do not feel
bad about this loss - our commitment, effort and work rate was first
class.

All Age Ladies div 4 v Guildford County Won 1-0
A really exciting game by both teams, however I think our Holroyd girls wanted it more. We went out hard and had more than a few attempts at goals. We scored in the first half and GC came out harder in second half but we still kept the pressure up. I'm really proud of our girls today as the trapping, passing, tackling and defending were all spot on. The GC girls played hard today but also were great sports, so it was a very enjoyable game all round. Lauren was defending against one of their key strikers and she had one of her best games - she made a real nuisance of herself - never giving up, cutting off their angle and putting pressure on them, and then when she got the ball off them, taking a bit of time to place the ball in a good space forward. But every single player in our team gave it their all. Ladies take a bow for a great team effort against the 2nd on the table.
