the cup game

Quick word bout the cup game...

Result: 2-3 (ET)
Goal scorers: Jelly (PF) and Jess

Unfortunately it was another one of 'those games' where it didnt quite fall our way. They were pushy and aggressive on the ball....but we just need to learn to give it back. Jelly did her best to try and get 'that' player sent off though.
Meg you would have been impressed with the amount of players that we managed to take out...it was like a flock of dying swans. It took us nearly 2hrs to play the game...go figure.

Thought we all played pretty dam good, some awsome hockey being played and I was impressed with the way the 2s players linked in well and they definitely did not look out of place!

Aside from the result I think we should take from that game that....well....we're basically 1. going to thrash them next time we play them and 2. kick 'em off the park.

Over and out.

Stupid rule!

Silly Golden Goal rule, after that flick practicing we could have had them! Damn it, so can't wait for the rematch to rattle them even more. Unlucky ladies :-( at least we "got the crab out" ;-)

For your interest: north notts match report from olton........

North Notts Ladies – 4
Olton & West Warwick – 4

North Notts Ladies 1st team travelled to Olton and West Warwick for their first away game of the season. Notts knew that they would be in for a tough test as Olton were relegated for the league above last season.

Olton started very well and were 3-0 up after 20 minutes and Notts began to wonder just how many more they would score as they were dominating every area of the pitch. Notts then decided to change their formation slightly and this enabled Notts to start competing in the game. 5 minutes before half time Alicia Robinson earned Notts a penalty corner which Lisa Butler deflected in on the right post from Robinson’s pass to give Notts some hope before half time.

After a good encouraging team talk at half time Notts came out in second half like a different team. Notts now having the majority of the possession began to push forward at every opportunity. 10 minutes into the second half Notts earned a short corner which Amy Butler put away at the second time of asking making it 3-2 to Olton. Notts were now really playing well as a team and were gaining more and more confidence. Notts then equalised with 20 minutes to go good determination from Amy Butler winning the ball on the 25 and then driving into the D to cross for Helen Clark to put the ball into the roof of the net. Notts now believed in themselves and pushed for a winner and with Clare Faulkner again solid at the back and Heather Perry tidying things up in the middle of the field Olton were struggling to find an opening. Notts went 4-3 up with 10 minutes to go from another short corner after good work from Holly Whittaker set up Robinson for a cracking shot into the bottom left corner. Notts just needed to hold their lead now and just keep possession however a lack of concentration lead to an Olton forward being free on the left post fortunately for Notts Rachel Brown in goal was in fine form and pulled off a magnificent save. However Notts joy was short lived when Olton equalised with 2 minutes left on the clock from a short corner. The final score being 4-4.

Why aren't the fish getting fat?

I totally over feed the fish, why don't they get fat and sink?
