Bombastic B Game - December 12, 2012
Bombastic B won 3-2 over Van City FC B at Jericho turf.
Game Summary from Hugh:
Bombastic B defeated the previously unbeaten, division leading VanCity B 3-2 on Wednesday night and stretched our unbeaten streak to 7 games. We had a awesome start - I'm not sure if VanCity was underestimating us - but we were all over them for the first 15 minutes and got 2 goals to show for it. After some relentless pressure and many good chances, Katrina scored a cracker of a goal with a great shot from - no kidding - about 35 yards out that went over the stunned keeper's head. Katrina got the second a few minutes later when her corner kick was deflected in the net. After that, we seemed to lose some intensity and VanCity started to pick up their game. They scored off a corner kick (their first after we had maybe 6); a lucky bounce really, but on a ball that we probably should have cleared. 2-1 at the half.
We started the second half well, but again VanCity began to take over and we were defending quite a bit. Lindsay had to be sharp to pounce on a couple of loose balls inside the six yard box - including one play where they hit the post twice. To be honest the whole game was a bit sloppy - some bad passes, bad first touches - by both teams and they tied the game on a bit of sloppy play in our end. It was a nail-biting affair especially because it was a bit of a strange game - neither team seemed in control - and anything could happen. However, Bombastic responded very well to the game being tied and began to take over. I could see players - particularly Laurie, Gagan, Sarah, Jana - really take ownership of the situation and we really started pressing for the winner. After Jenny took a hard hit to win a ball in their half, Kaitlin got the winner in about the 85th minute - making a quick move to fire a low shot that their keeper fumbled. There was quite a bit of time added on, but we did a great job of protecting the lead that we fought hard to get back.
In addition to the stars below I just want to mention the solid play of Barb, Jenny and Amy in the center of midfield, who, for the most part, shut down VanCity's playmakers. Congratulations Bombastic on well deserved win.
