A weekend without losing

Actually it was a lot better than that. 98Gwhite dominated against MTH on saturday and against MVLA on sunday.

0-0 v. MTH

I don't think MTH had a real chance on our goal, but their keeper was certainly busy for the whole game. One save in particular from an Eva rocket shot was quite amazing. We all thought that was a game winner. The team played well... but yet again, the shooting practice drills were not really utilised when we got in front of goal.


1-1 v. MVLA

The girls played even better in this game and were unlucky to concede a goal after going ahead in a league game for the 1st time this season. From the kick off Sporting were attacking down the left side with Allanah pushing crosses into the box from a new starting position at left forward. This forced a series of corners which Kim kicked well into the danger area but no clean cut chances would fall our way. Fay was working hard as center mid in a 4-3-3 formation and the ball was kept on the MVLA side for long periods. Eva broke through the middle and was one v. one with the MVLA keeper but shot straight at her... but then another 1v1 was created : Fay passed the ball between the MVLA center backs with the outside of her foot; Allanah accelerated between them, took the ball to the penalty spot and passed a careful shot into the corner of the net. MVLA were really not threatening us apart from some missed clearances from our defence, but then scored on us... a free kick into our box was repelled by Marina but the ball rolled out perfectly for MVLA to hit a high ball into our net. Soon after Bri had a similar chance from the right at the other end but her shot hit the side netting with the keeper beaten.

The second half was similar with little threat to the Sporting Goal. Bri and Adriana were played through a number of times but couldn't get shots on the MVLA goal

..... same opposition for us next saturday.... a win would send us clear of the bottom of the table.
