On Friday 24th August Holroyd Rangers 030 Division 2 Womens team triumphed with a 1-0 score to be crowned Grand Champions.
The score is not a real reflection of the game as our girls controlled the play almost the entire time, winning countless corners and going so close to scoring several more goals. Our goal came in the 7th minute when Shannon at right back hit a scorching long range strike that was superbly placed into the left corner of the net. We continued to press and put in cross after cross and shot after shot. Our midfielders were running riot in the centre of the park and using the width of the park very well. Our defensive line was superb with Minchinbury not getting anything close to a shot on our goal. The few times Minchinbury carried the ball forward our backs were quick to shut them down and to win the ball and play it forward. Our GK was only required to pick up the ball on a handful of occasions.
2nd half and we won a penalty 7 minutes in and although it was very well hit the Minchinbury GK pulled off a superb save to keep them in the game. We continued in the same vein in the 2nd half with almost all the play in the front third of the field. Again we won countless corners and put them under immense pressure but somehow another goal just would not come for us. A couple of brief counter attacks were again quickly snuffed out. After 90 minutes (plus stoppage) it was over and with a 1-0 scoreline our girls were Grand Champions!
A huge thank you to the large crowd of Holroyd supporters who turned out to cheer our girls on. It made such a great difference to the team to hear the support from the sidelines.
Congratulations to the Holroyd Rangers Soccer Club O30s Women team.
