According to reports I received from coaches and parents, the girls really brought their "A" game yesterday. Even playing on a field with small goals didnt phase them as they wracked up ten goals on a beautiful sunny day in Metchosin. Mara (3), Erin (3), Kathleen, Maggie, Jadyn and Genevieve (her first, yeah!) were the goalscorers. Apparently Kathleen's pull-back, quick turn and shot past an on-rushing keeper was the pick of the goals.
It sounds like it wasnt all one way however as my sources tell me both Mara and Maggie had good saves to make. No worries - a little goal-line excitement is always good for the spectators and the ride home from the game. I also understand our goalies wandered up field a bit to day. Cool! Remember goalies are people too, so if they want to dribble the ball up the field when they think they have time and space, go for it.
Next up is Gordon Head at Lochside. If things go according to plan our turf will be open next Saturday so we will practice trapping and heading high balls this week to get ready our new bouncy field. I am also confident this will be the best team we've played so far, so we'll need another "A" game performance to grab another win.
