Time: 15h00
So the second week of matches for the ladies fourth team
commenced on the 21st of April. We all trekked our butts down to Somesets sand,
sorry I mean "grass" fields, if you could call them that. So as the
match got started, Somerset decided that they will start with the ball, which I
was quite keen on, as I got to choose direction of play for my team. So with
Mutual starting play into the sun for the first grueling 35 minutes in the heat,
things started off rather badly, with one of Somersets old timers taking the
ball and making a run up the field and scoring their first goal.
This seemed to
wake our team up a bit and sparked some life into the game from there on
forwards. Denying Somerset any more goals time after time after time. With some
amazing saves , our goaly played as if she was a much older meaner version of
her 11 year old self! Keep the great work up Cameron, show those tannies that
you aren't intimidated by them!
Mutual kept up a good defensive first half and managed to
keep a second goal from being scored.
In the second half mutual came into the game attacking
and made many great runs up the field, showing that the team is starting to
come together nicely. Although the best shot at goals was made by new comer,
Almina, which was slightly off centre. As Mutual got a shorty, the whistle blew
to signal end of game. We had one shot at equalising, so pressure mounting, we
took the shorty, tried the shot, and it was messed up by Somersets attacking
defense.
Even though it was a loss for the team, it is amazing the
way this team is coming together! Keep watching this space, as we have the
biggest heart and biggest fight in the mutual family. This is going to be one
unstoppable team!
So with two weeks of practice ahead of us, we are going
to work harder than ever, and come out fighting in our 3rd match on the 4th of
May.
End score:
MCPUT 0 - 1 Somerset West
I will return to the kitchen now...
