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.
