2 for 3.....

LakeHill 1 : 0


Three league games in 7 days, two in under 24 hours!

The LakeHill PenBull Reds go into the Halloween 'break' knowing that hard work and 'first to the ball' has once again rewarded them with a narrow victory! In a game more like the previous weeks encounter versus Gorge than the previous nights action against top rated BaysU the girls started slow and showed the signs of fatigue. The ball was often in the LakeHill end and once again strong defense saved the day until the 20 minute mark when an unfortunate defensive lapse resulted in a foul committed against a JdF player with the ref awarding a penalty kick!


Unlike the previous Penalties which had been stopped by Maressa this time it was BrianneC's turn to experience the drama. The ref cleared the penalty area of players and as a JdF player approached the spot the LakeHill players shouted out their confidence in BrianneC. A well taken hard shot to the left side was turned away by BrianneC. This provided a much needed lift to the PenBull Reds who started to take the ball into the JdF end. Half time score was once again 0:0.

In the second half Coach Bruce rewarded BrianneC by putting her in the front line along with Dom. Four corner balls where awarded in the second half, two to each side. Coach Bruce called to BrianneD to take the left sided corner, she struck the ball well to the far post and after a scramble to reach the ball which appeared onto BrianneCs foot and was sent to the back of the net. Player of the game: undoubtably: Brianne C

During the final 15 minutes of the match the LakeHill players rallied their energy to preserve their second victory of the season! The players will enjoy a rare Monday night break from training and will be back to action on Wednesday (weather permitting)!
