We started off strong, dominating the game pressing up the pitch battling against Mother Nature. Robyn and Beth worked together passing the ball around midfield up to the forward line. Emily played brilliantly running j-runs into the D and playing the ball into the oppos feet awarding us our first of many short corners.

Jen, Maddy, Marianna and Marnie switched play across the back line and passed the ball up the pitch through to Roisin who had a strong hit into the D where orla picked up the ball and had our first attempt at goal.

Unfortunately despite our best efforts, half time whistle blew with the score being 3-0.

Maddy and Sally (who kindly stepped up to support us) gave a solid team talk making us ready for second half. let’s go girls!

The oppo came back hungry and determined in the second half on the attack taking hard strikes at goal. But it was no match for Sarah who saved every attempt.

Blackheath quickly set up where Jen passed the ball to Rachael on the right who dribbled into the oppos 16, robyn picked up the ball dribbling past 3 defenders who then played the ball into Emily top of the D who took a cracking shot at goal…bosh! Saved by the goalie!

We worked hard defensively, Marianna taking one for the team with a completely “unintentional clumsy tackle” causing the striker to trip up. This unfortunately awarded her with her first green card of the season.

Final score 3-0 With Emily winning MOM with her 2s debut and Marianna DOD for being carded
