JOMA INTERNATIONAL BIRMINGHAM LADIES FUTSAL LEAGUE PREMIERSHIP
AUGUST 14, 2013
DESPITE suffering a 6-2 defeat last night Sharks are still well placed to finish third in the Premiership.
Wins in their remaining two matches against Mighty Chicks and Late Arrivals will guarantee third position for the GWS.
Only Birmingham Futsal Club Ladies B and Stone Army can now deny Sharks that third spot.
Bham B play champions Birmingham Ladies Futsal Club next week, then on the final night of the season Stone Army and Bham B do battle, so Sharks are sitting pretty in their quest for third.
Whenever the Sharks and Under Estimated meet it is always a tough battle, but last night's tussle saw emotion get the better of the players.
Although fielding a very strong line-up comprising Salma Bi, Dilara Raeesah, Farzana Hussain, Vicky Roe and Solihull Ladies star Saddi Shan, GWS did not have any substitutes, and this was always going to test their resources to the full in a high-paced match.
Under Estimated, who are guaranteed second place, took a 3-0 lead, but Sharks had gone close through Vicky and Saddi.
Then Saddi pulled one back for the Sharks, but UE scored again to make it 4-1 at the interval.
HALF-TIME: 1-4
A goalkeeping error allowed UE to move 5-1 in front, but this did not stop the Sharks from battling hard.
Vicky found the net to make it a remarkable 40 GOALS in 12 MATCHES, with the help of Dee and Farzana in defence.
The game in full flow created a lot of friction and a scuffle broke out between Farzana and an opponent.
After a handshake the match resumed, but during play the Roadrunner got herself caught up in a tackle which led to the referee showing a red card to the Sharks forward and an Under Estimated player, who seemed to make an awful lot of what appeared an accidental challenge.
Tensions continued and quality of play was affected, with UE adding one more goal before the end.
SHARKS: Salma, Dee, Farzana, Saddi, Vicky.
NEXT MATCH: August 21 v Mighty Chicks (7.45pm)
