Some more points !

Last week TG did a 1st ever and lost 2 games on the trot... we stopped that run this weekend

Topgun pulled out a 2-1 win against the SCC Breakers "A" team on saturday afternoon. This was an important win against another team in the bottom half of the Silver Elite bracket and gives TopGun some breathing space.

The girls started with our now familiar 3-4-3 formation and gave the Breakers a real going over in the first half. The game really should have been done and dusted by half time as Olivia, Hannah, and Ysa missed at least 5 reasonable chances between them. The score at half time was only 1-0 after a nice finish from Ysa. This was worrying. We all now recognise the pattern when TG misses that many good chances, and Breakers are a good team.... and they soon reminded us of that in the second half as they piled a lots of pressure on our penalty box with neat interchanges in the middle of the field. Breakers equalised with another of those high loopy shots that dipped in under the cross-bar. We are conceding a lot of goals this way, but another year and this will stop happening and then other teams are going to need to play proper attacking soccer. Finally we worked out how to clog up the midfield and stop the Breakers attacks and then with the game almost over, Ysa got on the end of a long clearance and unleashed and ferocious shot from the right which hit the side netting giving the Breakers goalkeeper no chance. 2-1 to TG and closing in on 3rd place.
