Bombastic B Game - June 4, 2013

Bombastic B won 2-1 against the Richmond Breakers at Brighouse School.

Game Summary from Hugh:

Bombastic B squeaked out a 2-1 victory over the Richmond Breakers - a score that very much flatters the opposition as Bombastic completely dominated this game.

Due to limited numbers and some travel delays, we started with nine players on the pitch. It didn't seem to matter though as we immediately generated a bunch of scoring chances. In the first half we had 4 shots off either the post or the crossbar (one that went off both) and about 4 or 5 other grade A chances that either just missed or were stopped by their quite capable keeper. Sure enough, Richmond then scored on their one good chance of the half.

We came out firing in the second half, and it was more of the same. It seemed like nothing was going to go in. Finally at about the 65th minute Marta left footed a beauty into the top corner after getting her first shot blocked. Then about 15 minutes later, Amy's nice through pass set up Katrina whose shot hit the far post; Sadaf did a great job of one-timing the rebound in the net. Richmond made a some efforts to tie the game but our defense was pretty solid and Yasmina was really good filling at keeper.

Goals:
Marta - 1
Sadaf - 1

Three stars of the game:

Tanya: for most of the game we essentially played with three at the back and Tanya was great at winning back control and feeding out forwards and mids so we could get back on attack.
Sadaf: particularly in the second half Sadaf made great runs with and without the ball - constantly moving - helping out on defense and scoring a goal.
Maggie: a big part of a lot of our offense from her center-mid position
