Bombastic B Game - June 19, 2012

Bombastic B lost 0-2 to Westside FC Wild at Van Tech turf.

Game Summary from Hugh:

The Bombastic B women finished their Division 2 Spring season with a 2-1 loss to Westside. Despite the loss, it was one of our best efforts of the spring. Overall this was a well-played, intense, physical but clean game. Westside is a quality, top of the table, Div 2 team with many ex-Bombastic div 1 players on their roster. The first half favoured Westside, and Bombastic had to defend about a half a dozen corners. We did very well clearing anything that went anywhere near the 6 yard box, but they managed a goal ironically on their only poorly taken corner which was flicked-on just inside the end line to the back post over our keeper and easily knocked in. 1-0 at the half.

The sense at half-time was that they were getting tired, and we really pressed and took over the game for large parts of the second half. Sonia, Jenny and Gagan were a force down the center of the pitch and created a bunch of chances. Jenny scored the tying goal at about 75 minutes on a penalty. Westside, like good teams do, responded and managed a second goal with about 10 minutes left. Bombastic, like good teams do, responded really well: Sonia beat the keeper only to have her shot saved off the goal-line by a Westside defender; Ashley hit a rocket from well outside the 18 that hit the crossbar bounced down hit the line and then bounced out. We were unlucky not to come away with a tie.

Goal:

Jenny - 1
