SHARKS PRODUCE SOME LATE BITE

GREAT WHITE SHARKS 6 BIRMINGHAM UNITED 4 (League game)
STINGERS 4 GREAT WHITE SHARKS 4 (Friendly)

THE Great White Sharks produced a fantastic late rally to beat Birmingham United 6-4 in the Birmingham Women's Futsal League tonight.
In the first half, Sharks were unable to take their chances while United snapped up one of their opportunities to lead 1-0 at the break.
With about 15 minutes left, Sharks still trailed by a single-goal but then a dynamic late burst of power play enabled Salma's Lionhearts to claim the win.
Strikers Nazma and Camilla scored two goals apiece and there were single goals from Farzana and Nahilla.
Salma was also in fine form in goal, while Aisha came on and performed very well. When the Tiger Shark scores her first goal, we will all party with many bags of M and Ms and Skittles.
There was also a debut for a new player, Faeeza, who looked a good prospect.
"We defended like the Great Wall of China but attacked like the Great White Sharks," said wordsmith Salma in another of her famous quotations.
"I am so proud of my team. I don't know what it is about us, we just keep going and so often strike late goals.  I guess it's just all about determination and belief and never giving up."
As opposed to last week, when they had no replacements, Sharks had three subs this week and that helped their balance and rhythm.
In an earlier friendly, Sharks drew 4-4 with the Stingers. Again they were 1-0 and 2-1 down in this one, but showed real heart to share the honours.
Nazma and Camilla, who was available this week after missing last week's game, both scored two goals each in this friendly.
Salma concluded: "I guess we are the masters of the comeback!"
