G12 Pagewood Blue vs G12 Dunbar Rovers FC

Having struggled to beat a very strong PB in the league this was always going to be a tough 50mins of football.
Pagewood attacked aggressively running at our defence, but their chances were cut out by a determined defence and a confident Esme in goals, making her self big on several occasions.
A huge kick out of hands from Esme found the ball over the half way line and to Millie’s feet who played a perfect ball out wide for Sidonie to run onto. Sidonie played a beautiful ball across the ball where Eliza battled with the keeper to get the ball in. GOAL!!! And what a cheer from the sidelines! 1-0 Dunbar!!
PB stepped up the intensity and came charging at us and found their way through the defence to come face to face with Esme. Esme made herself big closing down the angles only for a shot to be struck straight at her and caught with good hands. Again PB came charging and this saw a brilliant save from the tips of Esme’s fingers onto the bar.
It was going to prove to be a tough 2nd half. PB came out the blocks charging as well with their number 3 taking control running through our players skilfully but she couldn’t break that back line with every ball getting cleared. Eliza was then given the important role of man marking this dangerous player and what a job she did. That was the last we saw of her! Finger nails were getting bitten (mine anyway) as the minutes ticked over. With PB attacking in numbers we managed to get the ball clear and played through to Vicky who found herself through just one defender to deal with. Well the defender could not cope with her pace and she was brought down in the box. Penalty!! A brave Lucy stepped up, but unfortunately the penalty went over. It didn’t matter the whistle went and we had done it.

Bring on the GRAND FINAL!!!
