GREAT WHITE SHARKS 4 (Vicky 2, Aisha, Camilla)
THE LATE ARRIVALS 5
Joma International Birmingham Women's Futsal League Championship - Jan 16, 2013
ANOTHER close call for the Sharks tonight but they will feel they threw this one away.
Vicky Roe opened the scoring for GWS, then Dee made a great pass, enabling Aisha to score with a solid shot.
The Late Arrivals pulled one back, but in no time Vicky notched her second.
Sharks led 3-1 at half time, but the girls knew they could do better.
However, TLA came out determined for the second half and soon they were level at 3-3.
Back came the Sharks, and when Camilla joined the attack she was able to put her team back in front.
Nonetheless, poor defending and squandered possession allowed TLA to go 5-4 ahead with just seconds remaining.
The Sharks' final attempt to equalise came to nothing as Dee headed narrowly wide.
Salma said after the game: "A game that once won easily now becomes something for the Sharks to think about.
"There's a long way to go in the season, but the Sharks need to think positive.
"The ones who dare to fail miserably go on to achieve greatly."
Great White Sharks team: Salma Bi, Aisha Bi, Camilla Olsen, Nicky Kahwal, Vicky Roe, Dilara Raeesah.
**************************
Sharks were able to beat The Late Arrivals comfortably last season, but the tables were turned tonight.
Have TLA got better or the Sharks got worse? Time will tell.
It is now two defeats from two for Sharks - both by a single goal.
Next week it gets tougher as GWS play Cresswell, the Championship newcomers who have won both their matches so far.
Tonight's other results: Under Estimated 4 Cresswell 9; Birmingham Ladies Futsal Club B 10 Bees 0.
Fixtures (Wednesday, Jan 23): Under Estimated v The Bees; Birmingham Ladies Futsal Club B v The Late Arrivals; Cresswell v Great White Sharks.
