Bombastic B Game - June 6, 2012

Bombastic B played to a 0-0 draw with Vancouver Breakers at Trillium West turf.

Game Summary from Hugh:
We played with 9 out of 20 regulars - due to injury, vacation and other commitments - plus our regular guest Shaz and special guest Sonia. 11 starters, no subs and only 10 players for the second half. The Breakers had only one extra player. Needless to say, there were some tired legs at the end of the game. Bombastic started strong and really carried the play for the first 30 minutes, but we couldn't create a lot of great chances. The highlight of the first half was a spectacular diving fingertip save by Gagan guest starring at keeper. The second half was end to end as both teams tired. We again had trouble creating great chances but I liked a lot of the play and things we were trying. I saw some chemistry developing between Julie and Hayley up front. Thao made a great save by being well positioned at the far post on a defensive corner. Sonia was fantastic.

Three stars of the game:
1. Tanya - it was only after the game that I realized what a great game Tanya had at sweeper - great positioning, ball control, passing and none of the opposition chances had anything to do with the sweeper position
2. Gagan - really solid in net and made that great save
3. Everyone else - a Herculean effort to play 90 minutes of end to end soccer against a fairly physical team - your (non-injured) missing teammates owe you a beer!
