NARROW DEFEAT FOR SHARKS

GREAT WHITE SHARKS 3 (Vicky, Nicky 2)
THE BEES 4
Joma International Ladies Futsal League Championship - January 9, 2013

THE Sharks' hopes of beginning the new season with a draw were scuppered when The Bees provided a late sting by scoring a last-gasp winning goal.
After a two-week break, GWS gave debuts to new recruits Vicky Roe and Nicky, with the rest of the team made up of Salma Bi, Aisha Bi, Camilla Olsen and Dilara Raeesah (Dee), who was last season's top scorer with 21 goals.
Despite a steady start, Sharks conceded two easy goals to The Bees, but GWS then began to get to grips with playing alongside each other and a powerful shot from Vicky made it 2-1.
However, The Bees managed to slip in another sneaky goal to make the half time score 3-1.
Although two goals behind, the Sharks knew this was a game worth fighting for, so they emerged after the break a more powerful force and produced some composed play.
Nicky delivered two brilliant goals to make it 3-3 and a point looked to be in the bag.
However, in the final minute, a small error from goalkeeper Salma, where the ball deflected off the bar, allowed the Bees to literally walk in the winner.
Salma said after the game: "Our first game could have gone either way; a few hiccups but the new Sharks facelift looks promising and dangerous to opposing teams.
"Once they get the rhythm going this team will mean all jaws and all business."
