Girls 3 Boys 1

Now it's the ROMS girls time to give the boys some grief at school!

We certainly had our "A" game tonight and were well worth our win. We showed some good composure on the ball, made some nice passes, kept our shape pretty well and scored three strong goals. Not entirely sure who got the final touch on our first goal, Genevieve or Justine, but it certainly ranks as the fastest goal for the Chaos this season. The game had barely begun when Gen intercepted a clearing pass and her shot seemed to take a deflection off Justine's knee before fooling their keeper. We had a couple of other half-chances to score in the first 30 minutes with some good wing play from Lucy, but the boys escaped the half down only one goal.

Second-half was much the same. Camille put her name on the scoresheet with a fine individual effort after receiving a long pass from Kathleen. The boys then pegged us back a goal after a break down our right-side, but Kathleen restored our two goal cushion blasting home a rebound into an empty net after Robyn's cross was only parried by their keeper. In between Justine and then Erin had to make one great goal-line shot-block keeping out a sure goal after a scramble. Claudia, Lydia and Naomi all had scoring chances in the last thirty minutes but couldn't squeeze one home.

More than the win, what I really liked was how well we defended and when we had possession how we did the simple things to keep possession and move forward with the ball. And when we didn't have the ball we got goal side, checked-hard and limited the shots on Camille and Justine to long range efforts. I also think our midfielders - Erin and Kathleen - were very competitive and won more of the tackles than did the boys they faced. So overall another strong effort.
