BIRMINGHAM LADIES FUTSAL LEAGUE PREMIERSHIP - JANUARY 7, 2015

HAPPY New Year everyone!
And it was a good start to 2015 for the Sharks, who may have lost to current leaders and last season's Premiership champions Under Estimated, but gave their best performance so far.
Sharks have never beaten UE, but this was one of the toughest games they have given them.
With captain Salma unavailable, the Sharks lined up: Dee, Aisha, Camilla, Hameeda and Hayley. Camilla went in goal and did a great job.
Dee takes up the action......
"Brilliant intense game. We upped our game and gave as good as we got. Aisha scored an early one straight after Under Estimated's first goal. 
Then they scored a few more from a couple of slips by the keeper and mistakes in defence. 
I then intercepted a pass from their keeper and took the ball all the way to score my first goal which slipped between the goalie's legs. 
They went to score one more before Aisha scored yet another goal from the side angle from a pass by Hayley.
Half-time: 6-3.
Second half....
Under Estimated played a similar game but we improved in defence. 
From one of their shots, Camilla came out to save with her knees but was too far out to stop a rebound kick, but then Hameeda slid to save the ball from virtually on the goal-line. 
Camilla also did some amazing stops, some of the best ones we've seen. 
Aisha went on to score another perfect goal from an angle following a brilliant pass.
Under Estimated then went on to score four more, benefiting from a couple of mistakes.
Then with two minutes left on the clock, a good interception from Hameeda saw the ball roll down the side of the pitch. 
Aisha and an Under Estimated player were scrambling for the ball. I ran alongside the ball and Aisha and with good communication she held the player back and pushed me forward to help me finish a brilliant last-minute goal from the side which the keeper didn't see coming."
So a hat-trick for Aisha and two for Dee and a final score of 10-5. UE knew they had been in a game.
Thanks to Dee for a brilliant report.
