My theory still holds true - the Chaos raise their game to the level of the opposition. You've already done it twice already this season against Nanaimo and Richmond so it's not a surprise you did it today against a very strong Gordon Head team.
Despite the early kick-off everyone was ready to play today and it showed with some nice early touches and movement off the ball. Unlike the Gorge game where I thought we lacked desire and quickness of thought, today we got to the ball quicker and made better decisions. Our two goals were very different in composition, but both came from hustle and never giving up on the ball. Congrats to Camille for taking both of her chances well and to Robyn for her excellent cross on the first goal. We could have had a third but Miranda's breakaway shot went off both uprights and along the goal line before their keeper scrambled the ball clear.
In the second-half we fell back on our heels as GH took the initiative. Much like we had done in the first half, GH started beating us to the ball and anticipating the play better. As a result most of the play was in our end and our goal lived a charmed-life with a number of free kicks and shots from open-play grazing our uprights. But with an equal measure of character and luck we got through it.
Have a good weekend ladies and reminder that practice is 6:15pm on Monday as we're back acting as guinea pigs for the coaches course.
