St Mary's too good again but WH fight back

St Mary's were too good for West Hobart U12 girls again in the first half, going into the break 3-0 up. However a great fight back by the West Hobart girls saw them dominate the second half and score a goal to lose overall 3-1.

West Hobart started the first half very slowly, making a number of mistakes which allowed St Mary's to go 3-0 after only about 15 minutes. But true credit must go the girls in the way they fought back for the remaining playing time.

The halves worked harder, pressuring the ball more into their forward line and the defence of Georgina, Laura, Annette and Jessica formed a tighter unit.


In the second half, the girls combined very well as a team. Susie used her speed to run the ball down the right wing. Georgie and Megan ran their hearts out in the halves. A great shot by Georgie, high into the goals, was well saved by the St Mary's keeper.

Later in the half, Susie's long practice of taking corner kicks paid off with a kick right into the middle of the square where Grace timed a good strike into the goal, to the cheers of the entire team and parents.

The last three games have showed how well the team can play when they are committed to getting the ball and moving it forward. WELL DONE!
