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!
