Bombastic B Game - May 21, 2013

Bombastic B tied 1-1 with the RGSA Rangers at Burnett Secondary School #1.

Game Summary from Hugh:

Bombastic tied the RGSC Rangers 1-1. After a slow start, Bombastic began to play much better. We had a number of excellent chances foiled by a number of - sometimes - questionable offside calls. Richmond took the lead at about 20 minutes when our defense failed to close quickly enough and they scored on a well taken long shot that Lindsay had no chance on. The rest of the half was back and forth. They had a couple of good low shots that Lindsay did well to save.

The second half was much better. Our passing up the field was fantastic. There was great work between Sadaf and Katrina - one play resulting in Sadaf being one-on-one with their keeper but she unfortunately couldn't get a good enough shot away. Gagan dazzled with a dribbling sequence straight up the spine of the pitch into their 18 yard box but also couldn't finish. Gagan finally got us a goal off of a scramble after a Katrina free kick about half-way through the half. The last quarter of the game was spent mostly in their end with a slew of really good chances. Katrina had some gorgeous corners, many of which we failed get on the end of. Yas had a solid header off one of them that their keeper managed to get a finger on and knock over the bar. Maggie took a number of shots - one hit the crossbar so hard it reverberated!

Overall, a very solid effort. One that we were unlucky not to get the full three points.

Goals:
Gagan - 1

Bombastic B Game - May 14, 2013

Bombastic B lost 0-4 to Westside Wild at Windermere HS.

Game Summary from Hugh:

Bombastic B lost 4-0 to Westside Wild. Despite the score, this game was very even in the first half. Bombastic had some excellent chances. Ashley put a great ball across the goal mouth that Katrina just missed. Katrina shot wide on a well earned partial breakaway and Ashley hit a strong left footed shot that was saved by their keeper. Lindsay had to make a couple saves but was really was not overly busy until the 44th minute when Westside's striker hit a great shot from about 25 yards over her (no chance) for a 1-0 halftime lead.

Early in the second half, Lindsay made a great save to prevent an own goal, only to see the rebound put in. From that point on, the long grass of the pitch and our lack of substitutions caught up to us and although we moved the ball into the Westside on a number of occasions, we couldn't really create any great chances. Westside added two more - well executed - goals to close out the match.  There were some good Bombastic efforts but overall it was not one of our finer days.

Three stars of the game: Tanya, Lindsay, and Maggie

Bombastic B Game - May 7, 2013

Bombastic B lost 2-3 to the Vancouver Spurs at Van Tech turf.

Game Summary from Hugh:

Bombastic B lost 2-3 to Vancouver Spurs in a well played fast paced game. After some early pressure by the opposition, Gagan was fouled a few yards outside their 18 yard box and Katrina scored on a fantastic free kick. The game was end to end with chances for both teams. Lindsay made some good saves and combined with various defenders on some nail-biting goal mouth scrambles. The Spurs came back an led 2-1 at the half on a couple of, to be honest, preventable goals where we made mistakes in dangerous areas. That said though, they had us under a lot of pressure at times and the defense played very well.

 

The Spurs went up 3-1 about half way though the second half on a long lobbing shot that Lindsay had no chance on. Bombastic came back hard and got to within one goal on a fantastic individual effort by Katrina - taking a pass with her back to net, turning and beating a defender and then the keeper with a perfect low shot. We had a few more chances, including a ball off the inside of the goal post that stayed out, but couldn't tie it up.

Goals:

Katrina - 2

Bombastic B Game - April 30, 2013

Bombastic B won 3-1 against Richmond Breakers at Windermere HS.

Game Summary from Hugh:
A solid start to the spring season as Bombastic B won 3-1 over Richmond Breakers. 0-0 at the half but it seemed that Bombastic were beginning to take over the game. Our newest addition, Sadaf, was involved in all three goals: hitting a great goal mouth cross that Amy smartly (lol) headed in; making a great pass to Tanya to start a play that she eventually finished with an unstoppable shot from outside the box; and taking the initial shot on the 3rd goal poked in nicely by Gagan.

Goals:
Amy - 1
Sadaf - 1
Gagan - 1

Three stars of the game: Courtney, Maggie, and Sadaf
