Within 30 secs of kick off we were 1-0 down! We took kick off, played a few good passes, but then their striker intercepted, ran on and scored.
Soon it was 2-0, and then 3-0. All three goals were scored by the same striker. Despite this we had been playing well with some good football at times, but as soon as this girl touched the ball...she scored! Our good passing football was mostly down the right with Holly, Sarah and Laura linking well.
Unfortuantely in the first half we lost Laura (she had to go) and Sophie (to an injury), so were down to 10 players. In the first half we had attempts on goal from Juliette, Jennifer and Holly, but unfortunately no goals. At half time we were 5-0 down.
The second was better, we were more determined in the tackle, Zoe was winning most challenges, as was Juliette and Amy at the back. Sarah was busy kicking the ball and the opposition, Dinalva was doing really well in goal, although was always in a desperate hurry to clear the ball! Becca was playing the ball well down the left with Holly and Jennifer. Kerrie and Marika were also winning great tackles...the second half was much much better.
Overall we lost 8-0, their star striker scored 7 and set up one! A great team performance from Neatherd despite the loss. We ended the game with just nine players, and some of them were injured but battling on! The game on Thursday has been cancelled by CNS.
