Mitchelton Womens Div 8 vs Narangba Sunday 18th July |
|
Sunday, 25 July 2010 |
|
It was a top of the table clash, Narangba just holding first place by 1 point. Needless to say we were keen to show them that it was not going to be an easy fight. But with a couple of weeks off the field and dwindling numbers at trainings, I felt we would have to be pretty luck to walk away with a victory against such a strong team. Well we brought our passion to the field today, I think that would be one of our teams strongest attributes, we give it everything. Narangba were quite lucky to slip one into the net during the first half, but that would be it. Our girls fought hard and completely dominated the Narangba team, but unfortunatly could not find the back of the net. Time and time again we threatened their goal, and the pressure was starting to show as Narangba continually gave away penalties. But to no avail, Narangba left 1-0, but surely they will be worried come finals, and we can walk away with our heads held high as we played a determined match. Lesson for this week, skill can only get you so far, guts and determination will get you over the line.

Mitchie Div 1 v Annerley Friday16th July 2010
After last weeks loss in the cup to Premier side Peninsula Power, the Mitchie girls were ready for the top of the table game with Annerley. The first 30 mins of the game were mainly played in the opposition half with a few sporadic attacks from Annerley. On the half hour a high kick from Annerley resulted in Rhiannon dropping the ball that then slowly rolled into an unguarded net, 1 nil to Annerley, this buoyed Annerley and led to a couple of corner kicks. From one of the corners a header looped over all our defenders and the goalkeeper, to again end up in the net. 0-2 at half time. In the second half a fired up Mitchelton team came out firing and attacked from the whistle, again most of the play was in the opposition half, and on 60 mins a hand ball in the box led to a penalty, Jenny stepped up and put it away 1-2, the next 10 mins saw attack after attack on the Annerley goal with shots from Brigid, Crystal, Bianca, Jenny and Tash all being blocked or going wide. With so much attacking we got caught on the break, but thankfully the woodwork stopped a third goal.
Result 1-2 loss.
Next game - Away on Sat 31 July at UQ
Mitchie Div 2 v Albany Creek Sunday 18th July 2010
This week in Div two we gained a long awaited win! On the unusually hot and sunny Sunday, Div two came out with the determination and presence of a team ready to kick some butt! The first half began with a quick attack by the Albany Creek Ace, who blasted a shot right into our keeper who quickly smothered the ball. The game turned around quickly after that with constant attacking by the Mitchie side with great shots on goal by Rachel W., Rachel U., Maria and Tash. Our first goal by Tash kept the momentum going, and after a few turnovers a perfect volley from Tash, again, put the ball in the back of the net. With a 2-0 score at half time Mitchie began the second half with more control. Unfortunately, a shot from the top of the box found its way into the Mitchie goal. Fired up to keep our lead, the Mitchie girls pushed on with a couple more unsuccessful shots on goal. Then a massive clear by Albany Creek was narrowly missed by the Mitchie keeper to tie the game with 10 minutes to go. A messy corner lead to a near miss by the Albany Creek girls but the line was kept clear by great foot work from Rachel W. and Hannah who took some hard hits to keep the game at 2-2. Mitchelton, not wanting to lose such a great game, dug deep and with only six minutes to go and were able to pull ahead with a wonderful goal by Maria! Great defence from the back line in the dying minutes kept the win, and the Mitchie song was sung in change room for the first time! Great job girls, lets get ‘em next week!

Mitchie Div 1 v Peninsula Power – Premier Cup Quarter final Game 10th July 2010:
The Mitchie girls embarked on a road trip to good ole Redcliffe over the weekend looking to fund their next social event with some premier cup cash – a win against Peninsula would ensure a place in the semi finals, and $200.00 worth of drinking money... I mean $200.00 worth of training equipment and other soccer-related paraphernalia! The night started well, with Tess providing the much-awaited tracksuits so that the squad could take to the warm up pitch looking pro! The illusion was short-lived however as the “premier league formalities” muddled our tiny brains and left us confused before a relentless Power crowd – seriously, if you want us to line up and shake hands with everyone al-la-world cup, you probably should tell us that before the game! But finally the whistle blew and the Mitchie crew were back in familiar territory on the pitch. Some sterling defence from the girls saw the home side easily frustrated, and at 0-0 mid-way through the first half, the panic was rising in the voice of the Peninsula coach. But the Div 1 domination was not to be; on 18 minutes a lack of communication from Channy saw the defence open up, and despite a fantastic dive from Rhiannon, Peninsula hit the net. Heads stayed high however and the green and gold bravely fought back, heading into the changing rooms 1-0 down at half time, after some strong chances in the attacking half. The final 45 kicked off in the same vein as the first, with battles being won and lost in the Mitchie defensive half. Strength on the ball from Tina and Crystal, and some confident headers from Kirra were not enough to keep the home side down as they found the net for the second time. The Mitchie girls showed the tenacity and resilience we have come to value in this developing squad and fought it out to the last, shocking the home crowd with their ability to compete at the highest level. A well-fought game with plenty of positives to be taken into the 1st v 2nd clash against Annerley on Friday night – well done girls!
Final Result: 0-2 loss
Player of the Match: Crystal – tagging an ex-Australia player is never going to be easy, but you NAILED it!
Blonde of the Match: Kelvin – come on Kelvin, you should know by now that we need specific instructions; “we are doing a walk on before the match” doesn’t stop us from being confused by pretentious pre-game processes!
Next game - Away on Friday night at Annerley

Women's Division 1 vs Park Ridge Saturday 19 June |
|
Monday, 28 June 2010 |
On the eve of the Australia V Ghana game, Mitchie took on a Park Ridge side looking to turn round a first round defeat by Mitchie – and who had about as much hope as Australia did against Ghana! (jokes) The Mitchie girls were soon on the attack and shots from Kasey and Natasha kept the Park Ridge defence busy. On 20 mins Mitchie opened the scoring with a well placed shot from Natasha, which was almost followed up 10 mins later by a goal mouth scramble from STAR STRIKER Collette; Jen Roberts swept up the crumbs expertly to make it 2-0 with a run and shot. At half time 2-0, despite Bianca’s professional dummy (AKA accidental air swing) in the Mitchie defensive half. The second half opened with a more determined Park Ridge chasing and tackling for every ball, an enforced change of goal keeper saw Rhiannon depart the pitch to be replaced by a nervous Kiki. Under strict instructions to “keep it away from me!!”, the defence held steady with the only vague threats to Kiki’s underwear coming from a corner and a long-range free kick, which sailed harmlessly over the bar. Mitchelton had less possession but still managed to create several good opportunities, and on 70 mins Brigid was on the end of a 5 pass move to place the ball in the far corner of the net to make it 3-0. Full time score 3-0.
Woman of the match: Kiki – Nice work Kik-Ster... Keeper extraordinaire!

Women's Division 2 vs Bayside 19 June |
|
Monday, 28 June 2010 |
|
In one of the best performances of the season our young Division 2 team just failed to hold out 3rd placed Bayside, eventually going down 3 - 1. It was a courageous effort by the girls going in to the half time break up 1 nil after a great 15m strike from midfielder Leah Kleinschmidt. Unfortunately the girls couldn't keep out Bayside in the second half but it was a great team effort to push one of the competition favourites (and Division 1 hopefuls) to the very edge. A particular highlight was the ability to play possession football under extreme pressure. The confidence and technical ability of the team continues to grow each week and we look forward to the rematch later in the season.

Chicks Rule at Mitchie FC |
|
Saturday, 08 May 2010 |
|
 Chicks Rule - an exciting article detailing the events of the extraordinary Mitchie Women’s teams. Mitchie Magic – (in our case) spirited energy surrounding Mitchie women.
Yes We’re Back….. That’s right Mitchie women are back in their kicking boots, stomping their own Mitchie mark into the season and guess what - there are more of us!
Yes you heard right 2010 celebrates the largest number of players in the women’s competition for Mitchie. This season we field three (3) Junior women’s teams in the Under 12s, Under 14s and Under 16s age groups and four (4) Senior women’s teams in Divisions 1, 2, 7 and 8.
With high expectations from the players for the 2010 season we have been lucky to gain the leadership of Kelvin Wheeler (Division 1), Peter Hodgkin (Division 2), Rachelle Huggett & Lily MacDonald (Division 7), Mark Robertson (Division 8) Mylo Ward (Under 16s), Noel Lord (Under 14s) and Pedr Kilpatrick (Under 12s) with further bench support from the Managers – Wendy Him, Marnie Marchesi, and Kylie Jenkins.
Whilst a rainy start to the season (with many games being rained out) all teams have displayed the makings of seven strongly united, occasionally cohesive, always brilliant, Mitchie spirited teams. One things for sure, each player brings their own bit of magic to stick it up them that green and yellow!
Your Chick Director
