Brilliant game guys! Our first half was fantastic and really showed what we could do as a team. We intercepted, spoiled, passed smartly, infringed less, attacked and shot well – it was great to see! The most pleasing thing though, was seeing people running well into space on attack and getting the in front on defense. Our good positioning really put the pressure back on the opposition. Awesome job everyone – we were so on top and in control in the first half. Well done!

As for our next training session, after speaking to a few people it seems like after Easter is going to be more suitable….how about we tentatively set it for Sunday 23^rd April 2pm. Mark it down in your dairies (or let me know if it’s not good for you)

Thoughts on the game:

Julie – our star shooter keeps putting them thru the hoops! moved all over the forward line to receive feeds and shot beautifully. Was even better considering the really good goal-keeper playing on her (hand in face!)

Mandy – back from injury and played a great game on center and wing! Always finding space when the ball was going forward and gave lots of feed to the shooters. Great passing as center in the breaks to start play for our team.

Katie – played wing defense and took control of the defensive side of midfield. A speedster as always and was great in pouncing on those loose balls from spoils and intercepts and passing it on for us to attack.

Anita – what a star for us as goal keeper! Gave very little for the goal shooter to work with and made lots of intercepts and spoils. Shot quick passes to start the counterattack down the other end. Really glad you’re on board!

Carol – Our stalwart defender again did a fantastic job, getting those vital intercepts and making the forwards run out wide for passes. Amongst the most consistent on the team and as far as I know, was not fouled for anything!

Drew – Gave us fresh legs in the last quarter and ran lots of balls out of defense. Played smart and used the ball well when he had it. Was a great encourager and supporter off the field too. It certainly helped heaps!

PP – Shot his first goal last Tuesday – a latent talent waiting to come out? Has apparently been practicing his shooting as of late. Apart from the shooting for goal, was also moving well on the field and making space.

Scott – played great in defense and used his height to advantage for gathers and intercepts. Made sure to get front position under the ring when possible to get the rebound for us. Played a really focused game

Eddie - Provided a constant presence for us in the middle to allow for linking from defense into the forward line. Provided really good support to Julie when playing in Goal attack, allowing us to get close and good shots on goal.

A special mention to Andrew (Yuen) for coming out to watch and support us. Thanks!
