Game Summaries - February 22, 2009

Bombastic A returned to form to beat a very strong Semiahmoo Spirit 1-0, playing with only 10 players for the 60 minutes of the game after Andrea Bava went down with an ankle injury. We defended solidly against a very skilled opposition, with a little help from a goal post. The goal came 20 minutes into the second half off a corner taken by Claire Hatcher caused a scramble in front of the net and Hayley Watson got a foot on the ball to put it in the back of the net. The Spirit really turned up the pressure after our goal, but we remained composed defensively and held them at bay. Again, a solid game from everyone on the field, but standouts were Tricia "Guys, why is she always there?" McNorton and Kira Sanger playing with the flu and still managing to cause some problems for the opposition. Player of the game: Kim Caruthers who played a smart game, chased down every ball, and began a lot of offensive plays from left back.

Bombastic B won their 3rd game in row beating West Side 2-1 and putting us in good shape to avoid relegation. Lindsay Rolfe made a great save against the run of play early to keep the score 0-0. Mary Ellen (Mel) Glover scored a nice goal and the first half ended 1 - 0 Bombastic. Westside came out strong in the second half, but Kim Willey scored on a breakaway to put us up by 2. Westside got a late goal to make it interesting. Cathy Doucet had a strong gamer at midfield, and Lisa Glowacki played great at stopper. Player of the game: Ashley Drummond who was solid at left back: being vocal, playing smart, and letting nothing get down that side of the field.
