with one game left to play, TopGun now have and unassailable lead at the top of the league and will be crowned Champions at the home game next saturday against the SCC Jaws.
Their position comes courtesy of a dominant 4-0 victory over the LG Lynx, who were the only team capable of catching TopGun before today's game. Lynx did manage some breakaways on us resulting in some awesome goalkeeping from Carrie but the game was played 80% in the Lynx half, with their only chances the result of a really rather bad field ( the italicised text is a not what I really said ), which caused the ball to skip passed our defence on a few occassions.
TopGun had 3 chances on goal before coach Ron even got to his assigned area. Ysa, Lulu and Gabby had chances to put TopGun ahead before the 5 minute mark. The game then settled down and was more even, but then a ball rolling through to the Lynx keeper was left to run by the defence and Ysa stole in to poke the ball home. Shortly after Ysa scored a second with a solo effort down the right, a cut back, and a perfect left foot shot into the corner. 2-0 at half time... but no messing today, we wanted to make sure of a comfortable victory.... so Carrie stayed in goal for the second half ( and ended up with nothing to do ). As with the 1st game against the Lynx, the extra work that the TG players put into practice showed itself as we dominated the game even more. Ysa scored shortly after the kick off, sliding home from a perfect pass from Cali. The 4th goal came from Tess who cut back with her left, then shot with her right; following precisely the instructions she received before the game; the ball kind of went through their keeper off a bad skip off the surface.... the field sucked !! That was it, Carrie came out of goal and KK went in to see out the game. Oh, nearly forgot a nearly awesome goal. Lulu made a great run down the right, got to the by-line, got around the ball and clipped it back to the penalty spot, Ysa struck a volley which hit the cross bar - the ball came back to Ysa who headed towards the corner of the goal but a defender was there to scuff the ball to safety
By the way "crowned as champions" will probably involve ice cream.
