Chaos 1 Nanaimo 1
In the end 1-1 was probably a fair result in today's game. I felt Nanaimo was quicker to the ball and used their upper bodies more (to win tackles and control of the ball), while I thought we passed the ball around better and probably had the better goal-scoring opportunities. It was a good game by both teams and I look forward to playing them again in February.
Congrats to Miranda on her first goal of the season!

Nanaimo Game
Please remember to be there for 1:30pm so that we can do a proper warm-up before the game.
And don't forget to bring gloves or wear an Under Armour t-shirt under your uniform - it could be a cool one tomorrow.

Chaos 2 Lakehill 0
Another fast start saw us score two goals and we pretty much cruised from there. Robyn's finish from the openalty spot was clinical and Claudia's half-volley from Jadyn's left-wing throw in was emphatic! In between McKenna and Lucy had chances but couldn't get a good angle for their shot.
In the second-half we had plenty of possession and good attacking situations but our final touch, pass or decision was often lacking. And once again we didn't do enough with our corners! We also allowed Lakehill girls to push us around with their upper bodies in 50/50 challenges and it wasn't until late on that we decided to push back.
Still all things considered (especially how cold it was) it was an excellent effort and something to build on for our game against Nanaimo next Sunday.
Hope everyone can feel their toes again!
See you Monday.

Not Enough Juice!
Just not enough juice in the tank today!
We competed very well today considering the lack of subs, but in the end we didn't have the energy required to turn possession into goalscoring opportunities.
In truth we let one too many goalscoring chances pass us by in the first half, especially Robyn's corner which somehow made its way along the entire goal line before bouncing off the far upright. We need to anticipate where the ball drops off our corners and crosses instead of watching. We will work more on this at practice this week.
The second-half we tired and chances were few and far between. However we didn't look like conceding a goal either so it was disappointing when JDF pounced on a turnover to score a winner with virtually their only real chance of the second-half.
Congrats to Robyn on her first goal of the season.

Exhibition Game against Nanaimo DDC
We've been offered the opportunity to play the Nanaimo DDC team on either Nov 22 or Dec 6 (both are Sundays). The game could be at Lochside or in Nanaimo, depending on field availability and interest. Certainly if we host them down here there would be an expectation we return the favour after Christmas.
Of interest, we do not have a scheduled league game on Saturday November 21.
I've started a poll on the blog so please cast your vote ASAP.

Team Pictures this Sunday
We are scheduled for team photos this Sunday morning at 10am. Please let me know if you cannot make the photos ASAP and we can try and re-arrange times.
This years team shoot is tricky because we're trying to juggle the schedule around Doug's U11 tournament games and my U14 game on Saturday. I thought Sunday AM would work better.
