STONE ARMY 4
GREAT WHITE SHARKS 3 (Vicky 2, Aisha)
FRIENDLY MATCH - AUG 28, 2013
THE Sharks arrived expecting to play local rivals Late Arrivals, however they conceded the game leaving us with an 8-0 walkover and a friendly against Stone Army!
We were expecting a tough battle not only because our captain and keeper Salma was missing in action, but Stone Army are a good solid team who had already drawn with second-placed Under Estimated.
Captain Roadrunner led the way by taking Salma's place in nets, but this may have turned out to be a bad decision as the Sharks got off to a rocky start.
Both the defence and attack were out of position and not marking the Stone Army team, who easily passed the ball around and scored the first deflected off our very Dee!
Good passing and moving saw the Stone Amry break through again not once but three more times leaving the score at 4-0!
In the second half top scorer Roadrunner (she must have scored about 50 this season) came out and and Becky went between the posts, making some very fine saves all the way through.
Farzana took control at the back alongside Dee, and Roadrunner and Aisha took up their usual combination up front.
Seconds after kick off Roadrunner broke through, scoring the first for the Sharks.
Some better marking and passing allowed the Sharks to keep possession of the ball and it wasn't long before Roadrunner volleyed her second in from a parried ball off the Stone's keeper.
The third goal came from a side kick delivered straight to Aisha's head which she planted superbly in the back of the net!
Unfortunately time ran out on the Sharks but a fantastic comeback!
A fantastic team effort from every Shark on the pitch,,,Sarrita, Becky, Dee, Aisha, Roadrunner and Farzana.....we all did Salma proud!
