GREAT EFFORT FROM DEPLETED SHARKS

Hameeda proved what a great player she is

GREAT WHITE SHARKS 4 (Holly 2, Hameeda, Hayley)
BIRMINGHAM FUTSAL CLUB LADIES 18
PREMIERSHIP SEASON 4 2014/15
JANUARY 14, 2015

WITH neither Salma, Aisha or Camilla available, Dee had to get together the best team she could on the night.
Hameeda was available, while two newcomers Holly and Hayley also came in to help and did really well.
It was difficult against Bham Futsal Club Ladies as they were a team used to each other, while GWS had never played together with this line up.
Hameeda was the best player on the night, running everywhere and never giving in. Dee was struggling with a chest infection but still gave her all.
Sharks goalscorers were Holly 2, Hayley and Hameeda.
Sharks then played a friendly against Under Estimated and performed much better with the players getting more used to one another.
Hameeda and Dee scored one each and there were two goals from a loan player.

Dee said afterwards:
"For the league game we borrowed a player from the lower league because Aisha couldn't make it due to commitments at home
"We had to beg a player to play because we had only four players. Hayley got her flat mate Holly, who I'd never met or played with, but she stepped in last minute for Camilla.
"The game was solid throughout. We battled hard. The lower league player wasn't that confident in play but helped make the numbers. She stepped in as keeper and fair play to her she put in the effort and saved many Birmingham shots.
"We made some decent passes and showed good defensive play. Hameeda was by far the best player on the night, making great passes and defending effortlessly. She was out to prove by far she's the most fittest player with bags of courage.
"But our lack of practice together meant we struggled hard to intercept passes and understand the opposition's game play as they also had few new players.
"However for the awesome team we are we also took on a friendly with Under Estimated. And that game was where our practice as a team from the first game showed.
"We played amazing, passing effectively, moving fluidly. Passes and movement even they didn't contemplate we could do.
"We borrowed yet another two players from another new team from the lower league who were absolutely amazing, one of which was a keeper for their team.
"With these other players we were much improved. And we did some amazing moves.
"All in all a good night except for the stress and hassle of having to borrow players, but it shows women's love for football is just as much to show as the men and team spirit with or without your own team players is high and anyone will step in to help for a good game."
