I'm sorry that I missed our Noon game against Salt Spring. I understand from Doug that you once again dominated play and possesion but the opposition dared to make things interesting by tieing the game up with only minutes to spare. How dare they! Dont they know they're just supposed to let us score whenever we like? Seriously though, it sounds like you played well and had some fun, and that's the main thing. (Note to self - winning does not mean everything, repeat at regular intervals). Goalscorers were Kathleen, Robyn and Mara. First Star of the Game was Robyn (well that's what SHE told me). Kathleen was the second star and Robyn was also la troisième étoile.
The afternoon game I'm better positioned to comment on as I actually witnessed/suffered (just kidding!). We were a bit sluggish in the opening stages and our passing and decision-making was a bit fuzzy, but we got better as the game went along and in the end we scored five goals to their none. Goalscorers in the afternoon match were Jadyn, Sydney (first of the season - way to go Syd the Kid!), Robyn, Kathleen and Maggie (with only seconds to spare as it happened). Phew! It could have been more - Mara slipped just as she was shooting after a five thousand-foot long breakaway and Kathleen hit a couple of uprights. Defensively we didnt have much to do, but both Erin and Robyn did well to track-back and shut down their attackers when they did look like shooting.
It's back to the slog of league play next week with a game against Lakehill at Braefoot Park. I am reliably informed our game is 8:30am! Yikes!!! Perhaps they've heard we're only half-awake at kick-offs at the best of times so they think an early start will give them even more of an advantage. Of course their fiendish attempts will come to nothing as espresso* machines in Chaos kitchens will be percolating in the early dawn hours!
In any event I will confirm the game time and location as soon as I am able. In the meantime eat your Wheaties, drink your OJ and we'll yee you all Thursday at 6pm on the turf.
