A team worthwhile...

To borrow from an old saying:

Its easy enough to be happy
When life flows along like a sweet song
But the girl worthwhile is the girl with a smile
When everything goes dead wrong

2007 has been a great year, full of many sweet victories, and until meeting Princes St at Waimea, only one close loss. For once we struggled against tenacious opposition and found ourselves a goal down at half time. The pressure was on us, and the girls fought valiantly, but never really got their game flowing and couldn't crack the solid, and often packed, defence of Princess St. For the first time this year, we failed to score and ended 0-2 down at the final whistle.

Happily though, our girls enjoyed the game and managed a hearty cheer for Princes St at the close.

We had a full team for the first time in weeks, with no-one off with cold, flu, or injury. It was great to see Sarah back after several weeks recovering from an operation and taking on the role of captain for the day. Thanks also to Phoebe and Freda who volunteered as goalies.
