Games for 16th April 2011

6 9.15 am Chelsea vs Team Pheonix (Inter Milan)


11D 9.15 am Newcastle vs Team Glory (Juventus)

Newcastle 0 - 4 Team Glory

Unfortunately Newcastle were short of players so Rachael and Lili started the game with Newcastle, Rachael switching back part way through the first half and Lili swapping with Kate in the 2nd half to keep equal numbers.

The distruption to players and wet conditions did nothing to dampen the performance. Team Glory are really starting to gel as a team, with all players becoming comfortable with their perferred positions and understanding their role and that of their team mates. I think substituting through the same positions is also helping to maintain some consistency.

This was a great all round performance. The defense continues to work well providing a solid base for the team to attack from, the wing, mid and striker combinations are coming together nicely, with effective attacking lines using the wings and passing through the centre.

It was also great to see some strong and effective shots from distance - with some more work on accuracy the goal counts show grow through the season.

Gemma (x2), Sophie and Claudia scored the goals.

Kate received player of the day for a great 1st half for Team Glory, volunteering to play for newcastle in the 2nd and then showing the boys how to play.. she played striker, winger and defence throughout the 2nd half, saving 2 goals on the line only to celebrate with her when Gemma scored her 2nd.
