It was great to see our girls capitalise on their chances today with a solid performance and a brilliant first half display of football which saw them 6-0 winners against South Melbourne. As we discussed in the past 2 weeks, life is about taking your chances and our girls were certainly more clinical today on the football pitch after a solid session at this weeks training where coach Lee worked on shooting and finishing techniques.
The first half display by all players was very impressive with some of the best football combinations and movements they have put together this year. They certainly exploited the oppositions weakness and finished strongly after some free flowing build ups and composed passing. The defence was solid, the midfield more creative and the forwards clinical in taking their opportunities. Natasha, Jordan and Adriana scored lovely goals and we went up a remarkable 6-0 at half time. Our coach Lee at half time challenged the girls in the second half to be focused on playing good football that maintained possession and focused more on passing than building the score board. They say in life "you should be careful what you wish for" as our girls certainly listened to their coaches advice and failed to add to the score in the second half but they did try a few different moves and some girls played out of their normal position. South Melbourne were certainly more focused and determined in the second half but our girls never gave them any chance or room to be a threat, in fact South Melbourne never looked like scoring. I believe the game could have gone all afternoon and our girls in defence would have kept the sheet clean.
Well done to all the girls today as they all contributed to the teams success.
Highlights from this weeks game:-
Natashia for scoring 3 great goals and adding composure to our forward line in the first half.
