Bombastic B Game - September 8, 2012

Bombastic B tied 1-1 to Van City FC B at Van Tech turf.

Game Summary from Hugh:

Bombastic B started off the new winter Div 2 season with a 1-1 tie against Vancity FC B on a very hot Saturday afternoon. Bombastic started strongly, and Kaitlin and Gagan combined well down the left wing resulting in a dangerous cross that Vancity managed to knock into their own net. The next 15 minutes it was all Bombastic, and we were very unlucky not to go 2 goals up. Kaitlin had 2 point blank chances stopped by their excellent goalkeeper and then knocked one just over the bar. Hayley and Marta had chances, and Amy hit a great low left-footed shot that just missed the bottom corner. Unfortunately, we couldn't get that second goal, and Vancity tied the match on a well executed counter-attack finished with a nice shot from outside the box. The second half was similar - with Bombastic carrying the play - although not creating quite as many chances as the first half. Our best chance came when Jana hit a great hard shot from 25 yards out that their keeper blocked and then made an even better save off of Barb's rebound attempt. All in all, a fairly good start for the season, however, with a slightly disappointing result.

Goals:

Van City own goal

Three stars of the game:

1. Kaitlin Ewonus - in her first game with Bombastic was our most dangerous player

2. Barb Jones - another Bombastic debut - played really effectively at Center Mid

3. Lindsay Rolfe - very solid in net, making the saves she needed to make, being vocal and pushing the ball up the field with some excellent kicks
