MATCH CENTRE

Top of the table clash, winning thisgame would put us on top with one game to go.. it was going to be a tough ask given Onehunga had won all but one game and won them with lots of goals.

We traveled on Mangere for the game which also didn't work in our favour, but the girls were for for the challenge.

From kick off Sophie dribbled the ball straight through their defense and scored! Yeah! What a start, perhaps the fastest goal Ever!

Things tightened up after that initial shock and it was a close end-to-end game..Onehunga scored late in the first half and then again early in the second half with a wonderful lob from distance which found Ellie off her line with no chance of saving it.

Molly had a number of near misses in the 2nd half, one hitting the post.. she kept putting their defense under pressure and eventually it paid off with a goal... 2-2.. a draw would be enough for us to go on top... but it wasn't enough for the girls. Sarah did drop back to help in defense, but we were obviously still keen to secure the win... with only a few minutes to go Sophie score another.

Final whistle 3-2... great game and great Win!

Ellie was awarded player of the day for not only this game but a great season in goals.

Goal Tally:
Sophie	16
Molly	8
Lucy	4

Championship: Western Springs 20th july

Western Springs G12/1B Juventus

Three Kings Utd G12/1B Falconer

Seddon Fields 1 FT (Football Turf, see rules for use) (Map)

 

It was nice to play of artificial surface,  with recent heavy rain the other pitches are not in great condition.

Tail end of school holidays also meant we were without Ellie,  Sophie & Clara. No subs... which did provide me the opportunity to referee.. which was a good run around. ..

Western springs,  based on results so far did appear to be a weaker side and I was quietly confident of another good win. 

The start of the game did suggest the same. We spent the first 20min in their half with most of the possessions. But as has been a problem in other games.. just could not score a goal.

Finally lucy did sneak one past their goalie.. however shortly after they had a break away run.. one-on-one with molly in goals for the first time.. and they scored.

Molly did make a few good saves in the first half, but we were unable to regain the lead, despite many chances.

Lucy returned to goalkeeper for 2nd half and molly to the mid field.

The flow of the game remained the same in the 2nd half, we dominated possession with lots of changes, but did not convert. Aanchal managed a goal to once again take the lead, but they once again responded with a goal of their own. 

With only seconds of the game remaining, they had another break away run, and just pushed the ball past the post... 2-2 final result.. 

Tara was awarded player of the day for good distribution of the ball from defence.
