Home vs. Peninsula Sweet
Gorge Canadians tie Pennisula Sweet 0-0
The skys cleared up after a nights rain and the sun came out for another great soccer weather day for game #2. The Gorge Canadians U11 Girls hosted Peninsula Sweet and as I said last week the Peninsula teams are all fairly strong teams. Rudd Park was our field today ... nice field conditions but the mini goals are a little too small for the girls age group now. This would require some accurate finishing today for anyone to get a tally.
We stuck to our 2-3-2 (d-m-f) formation for now, which seems to be a good formation for our team's composition of players. The match was fairly even, although I would say the Gorge side had possession in Peninsula's end for 75% of the game. Peninsula had one full back that was very strong and continually shut down our attacks and breakaways. The girls showed off some of their improving skills at moving the ball around by passing the ball very well today. I even heard them talking to each other!!
Jennifer C., mostly playing centre-midfield, had an outstanding game continually attacking their forward movement and stifling their attacks. She also created some great transitioning play after that. Other notable efforts came from Alanna B. (playing under the weather) and Olivia M. on defence (continually taking away the centre of the field from them).
Paige W. played goal again the first half and Joslyn D. backed up the Gorge net in the second. Thanks for stepping in Joslyn ... you get to share the shutout!!
The dying seconds of the game, Gorge pushed hard for a goal having at least 5 or 6 shots [some even on goal :-) ] but we could not score. Excellent push girls ... that shooting accuracy will come soon! The importnat thing now is that you are shooting!
The team is starting to gel and passing and on field communications are improving!
Practise this week ... shooting/finishing.
