SHARKS GO DOWN BATTLING

GREAT WHITE SHARKS 1 (Vicky)  
UNDER ESTIMATED 4
JOMA INTERNATIONAL BIRMINGHAM LADIES FUTSAL LEAGUE - NOV 6, 2013

THIS was the only match played in the league tonight as the other three games were walkovers due to teams not turning up. What a pathetic situation.
As always, the Sharks fulfilled their fixture and came up against league leaders and probably champions to be Under Estimated.
There was a positive start by both teams, playing good Futsal.
It remained 0-0 for the first 13 minutes, but then a slight GWS slip up allowed Under Estimated to push through and score a comfortable goal.
Keeping the pressure on, UE managed to bag another before the turnaround.
HALF-TIME: 0-2
The Sharks were up against it at the start of the second half.
The likes of Saddi, struggling with her ankle, got the ball in good areas but was unable to produce a finish.
Danger player Vicky was being cut off by two defenders each time, Aisha was short of shots, whilst Dee and Farzana rotated, keeping the game lively.
Vicky did manage one goal with the help of Saddi, but Under Estimated scored another two before the end.
The final 20 seconds created a bit of humour!
Farzana somehow managed to kick the ball back into her own face, giving herself a nose bleed, the ball rolled towards Aisha, who made a short pass to Vicky, who smashed the ball back onto Aisha's head!
At least the pain was eased for Farzana with the news her beloved Arsenal had won 1-0 in Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League!
In a friendly match, Sharks were nicely warmed up and beat The Bees 8-4.
Saddi and Vicky scored two apiece in the first half, making it 4-1 at the break.
The second half saw more team work, rotation of subs and creation of better chances.
Final Score 8-4 (Saddi 4, Vicky 3, Aisha 1).
Sharks are fifth in the table, but next week are due to play Birmingham B, which should ensure an 8-0 win, so we will see where we stand then.
SHARKS: Salma, Dee, Farzana, Aisha, Saddi, Vicky.
