Bombastic B Cup Game - February 9, 2013

Bombastic B tied 1-1 with NSGSC Outlaws at Van Tech turf in their third Cup game.

Game Summary from Hugh:

Bombastic B played to a 1 - 1 draw with the NSGSC Outlaws. It was a tough physical game and the Outlaws are a good team. Still, on the balance of play Bombastic maybe deserved a better result.

The first half was fairly even. The Outlaws got their goal when we were slow to react to a loose ball in a dangerous area, and the Outlaw player took advantage picking up the ball about 25 yards out, taking a couple of touches towards our goal and firing an excellent low shot to the corner. We had some half chances throughout the half including a handful of corners but could not make a breakthrough.

We came out strong in the second half and were determined to get the tying goal. We certainly dominated, earning more corners and I don't think even allowing a shot on our goal. The Outlaws defended very well though. Katrina was a force on offence working well with Laurie, Marta and Sarah to attack down the right side of the pitch. On left side, Maggie was really effective, beating defenders and getting some great crosses in to danger areas. We missed a few great chances but finally Marta knocked in one of Maggie's crosses from about 5 yards out.

Goals:
Marta - 1

Three stars of the game:

1. Maggie - second great game in a row - add so much to our offence and works very hard all game
2. Katrina - as she is often, the most dangerous player on the field and the one that the opposition defence keys on stopping - if she's not scoring she's earning (and taking) corners and creating a lot of space for her team-mates.
3. Kara - had a really solid game, great positionally and made some nice passes
