Ladies 1's Match Report – 13 April 2013
The ladies 1st team played there opening game in the league after a great build up to the start of the season. We knew it would be a tough game on this hot Super Saturday but we were ready to beat the Crescents with a large squad of 17 highly motivated players!
We arrived early at Sengkang and had a good warm up. Although Tim reminded us to communicate, recycle where necessary and to be clinical and aggressive, we started weak in the first 10 minutes. During the course of the match we started to play better hockey with Lady of the Match Laura dominating on the midfield. However, the opening goal was for the Crescents. The new rule of this season resulted in the 0-1 scored by our own defender (but to be positive: Teej it is your first goal in this league!)
Half time came and gave us the opportunity to rehydrate and to re-set ourselves under the management of Tim. However, the second half also didn't start as planned and the 0-2 fell after only 3 minutes… After this goal we finally woke up and played better and more attractive hockey! We fought hard and had some great attacks and chances to grab a goal although we were not able to score…
This opening game resulted in a disappointing 0-2 loss. The negative thing is that we didn't achieve the level we had in some of the prior friendly matches. The positive thing is that we dominated in a large part of the second half and that we are now even more motivated to beat the Dutch next Sunday ("We gaan ze pakken!!!!!").
A big thanks goes to Tim for coaching us, to Sayj for the (mental) support and all other people who came down to support us!!
