Early Christmas Cheer for Chaos!

Our last game before Christmas offered plenty of cheer for players and parents alike.

The first-half saw us lay siege to the Gorge goal. We won and kept possession of the ball very well and some of our passing was excellent. Nina, Robyn, Mara and Maggie all had very good chances but it was Erin who scored, getting the final touch after a scramble in front of their goal.

I thought we looked a little bit subdued in the second half. We did a lot of huffing and puffing but we could not find the right shot at the right time. Kathleen, McKenna and Jadyn all had good looks at goal but too often our shot was straight at the keeper. Perhaps everyone was cold and tired as by this time we were down to eight players (Mara and Genevieve off with flu and frostbotten toes respectively).

Just when Gorge was starting to come back into the game we got our second when Miranda hit a twenty-yarder that squirmed past their keeper. It was a little-bit fortunate, but we'll take it. Jadyn then added a third with five minutes to go to seal the win.

So we reach the Christmas break unbeaten. This is a phenomenal achievement and one each of you should be very proud of. We start up again in early January with an exhibition game on the 10th. I hope to have details sorted out sometime this coming week. In the meantime I hope everyone has an opportunity to kick a soccer ball at least a couple of times. Perhaps we can arrange a snow game?
