Bombastic B Game - February 15, 2012
Bombastic B tied 0-0 against Van City FC C at Jericho Turf. The tie clinched first place in our section of Div 3 and promotion to Div 2 next season. We finished 11-0-3 on the season with 33 goals for and a paltry 4 goals against.
Game Summary from Hugh:
The game was tense affair as a very strong VanCity team needed to win to have a chance at the championship. Bombastic started strong, carried the play and created some chances in the first 15 minutes, after that VanCity seemed to find their game and the rest of the first half was fairly even. Apart from corner kicks and a couple long range efforts – neither team’s goal was threatened very much. The second half was more of the same with VanCity picking up their play a bit. Lindsay was outstanding in goal, coming well out to thwart a breakaway after a bad bounce near midfield put their forward in the clear, bravely smothering a loose ball at the feet of a Vancity striker, and securing a number of well-paced longer shots. Another bad bounce created a shot in close, but pressure from our D forced the shot over the bar. That’s as close as they came and because we knew that a draw was all we needed – the final whistle was great to hear.
Three stars of the game:
Really a great effort by all – everyone made a great positive contribution.
1. Lindsay Rolfe – see above
2. Marion Kehoe – ran hard the whole game, great defensive play and ball control
3. Jana Holbrook – the best of a great bunch of defenders
