Bombastic B Game - May 28, 2013

Bombastic B lost 1-2 to the Meraloma Menace at Windermere HS.

Game Summary from Hugh:

The Bombastic B ladies lost 2-1 to Meraloma Menace. We had a slow start and we almost got away with it, but Meralomas scored at about 10 minutes on an obviously offside play. From about the mid-point of the first half we began to take over the game although when halftime arrived we hadn't created that many scoring chances.

 

That all changed in the second half when we had numerous chances to score. Katrina pounced on a great ball into the box from Ashley and hit great low shot that was so hard their keeper couldn't react; unfortunately, it hit her square in the knee and bounced away from trouble. At about the 75th minute - and totally against the run of play - a Meraloma hit a speculative lob from well out that went over Lindsay's head. We are now down 2-0 on an offside goal and fluke goal. We were not deterred though and Gagan finally got us goal by beautifully one timing Katrina's corner kick low and past their keeper. With 4 minutes left we poured everyone forward and created a few more chances, including Katrina hitting the upright so hard the rebound bounced clear out of the 18 yard box. A frustrating result, but some really encouraging  play and teamwork.

Goals:

Gagan - 1

Three stars of the game: 

Katrina (was some part of most of our best chances and really unlucky not to score),

Gagan (scores, again),

Laurie (was all over the pitch - in a good way - in the second half - doing everything she could to get us a result)
