Sun 23rd Aug:

U14G div 1 v Castle Hill United Loss 4-0
U16G div 2 v Castle Hill RSL Won 1-0
A great win to round off a great season.  We scored early when Sheri
took advantage of some hesitation by the RSL backs & goalie to pounce on
the loose ball, stealing it virtually out of the hands of their keeper &
tucking her shot neatly into the corner of the net. This brings Sheri's
tally of goals for the season to 15, easily winning our golden boot
award (Sarah P is next with 7). It was a warm day & with just 1 sub our
girls had to pace themselves. We controlled the game all the way, Megan
in goals rarely having to get involved thanks to great defending &
midfield play. Our backline of Cassie, Larissa, Chantelle, Rochelle &
Shayley were able to push forward at times to assist in the midfield.
Adriana, Kacey, Renea & Emily played in the mids & tackled & won the
ball most times, never giving RSL any time on the ball. Sheri & Sarah P
up front had a few chances in front of goal but could not grab a 2nd one
for us. When we spread out & played our passing game we looked
absolutely unstoppable. Girls - it has been my sincere pleasure to have
coached this team this year & I have enjoyed every moment of it. I hope
to see you all again next year. Thanks to Tracey for all your help.

All Age Ladies div 4 v Lidcombe Waratah Won 2-0
A hot afternoon & no subs but our ladies played out of their skins.
Totally in control of the game all the way however we were unable to
find the net in the 1st half. Our goalies (Amy 1st & Lisa 2nd) rarely
had to get involved, but when they did they were unbeatable. Amy had
our best chance to score early 2nd half with a 1-on-1 with their keeper
& struck it really well but it just went over the bar. Some nice runs
deep down the right hand side caused havoc for Lidcombe when the cross
was whipped in but we couldn't quite convert the finish. It took a
couple of corners about 5 minutes apart to grab our 2 goals. The 1st
was deep along the goal line & appeared to be an own goal (does anyone
want to claim it?). The 2nd was crossed closer to the penalty spot &
Nessa neatly whipped her shot towards the back post leaving their keeper
sprawled in the dust after the ball flashed past her outstretched right
hand. Both Nicole & Mel created several nice runs towards goal. Lauren
& Crystal both played really well as back wings, both having some good
runs forward with the ball when given the chance. All in all an
excellent game to watch & a great finish to the season. (Report by
