Ladies 2s Match report Saturday 4th May 2013
SCC- NIL v Tornadoes - 3
This was the return fixture against SCC that was played last week, when before lightning stopped play we were romping away with a 1 nil lead - well we should have been romping away as we had had about 10 short corners! This week we were keen to produce a result that reflected the dominance we had in the game previously.
We started this match strongly with a few good lead runs down the left and right but we were not able to get the ball into the D which was frustrating for the forwards who were keen to score, especially as the opposition only had a kicking back. This frustration spread as we pushed forward and started to make mistakes or not move the ball on as quickly as we have done in the past. About 5 minutes from half time a loose ball from the SCC defence went to Marieke and she very calmly dribbled it into the goal. Phew, 1 nil and we all settled down a bit.
We had a good talking to at half time and Joran’s words and the dousing from the water jets calmed us all down with great results. Within a few minutes after a couple of excellent drives down the right by Erin and the left by Sam, Sam passed the ball to me Jacque, who pathetically pushed it towards the goal and as all goalies will tell you the pathetic ones are the hardest to save, the ball sauntered into the goal. 2-nil. The SCC team kept fighting and continued to thwart our attack and had themselves some good attacks towards our D however these were ably dismissed by our solid defence. Another flurry of attacks by us down both flanks was rewarded by a great goal for our captain Sam. The attack continued with narrow misses for Marloes and Virginia. Man of the match Lizzie and Jacque.
Great team effort and excellent coaching from Kris and Joran
