We did very well to come back from two goals down to tie the game, but the Maroons scored a pair of scrappy goals in the last five minutes to take the victory. On balance I thought a draw would have been a fairer result but in the end they took more of their chances than we did. Congratulations to Marissa, Annabel and Paige on their goals.
Along with our strong play come lots of candidates for Player of the Game. For me Annabel just shades the Player of the Game. A thirty-yard chip shot over their keeper and defender capped a hard-working performance. Honourable mentions go to Brooke and Lily. Brooke did well at both sweeper and midfield - two very tough positions considering the quality of the opposition. Lily continued her fine play of late, and her through-pass for Paige's goal was excellent.
Our next game is 6:30pm Wednesday vs Black. I have no scouting report on Black, but I expect they'll be another hard-working team full of U13 players.
We'll be short on players as school track, camp and music events means Brooke, Marissa, Leanne , Madeline, Annabel and Emma will be absent. As a result there's a good chance we'll have to recruit one or two players from other teams. Stay tuned!
