SD 1 Delta 1
We battled really well today and were a little unlucky to not win the game but we were happy with the result based on the numbers we had out. We are in tough as anticipated since we have lost our goalie and our best player....second best player missed yesterday's game because she had a 'tryout' with the Whitecaps last night and tomorrow and Thursday. Bring two grade 8s and 6 grade 9s over to Panorama Ridge to play the defending champions. Should be fun. 5-3-2 and play for the draw.
You're in pretty good shape, T4life.
SD 1 Tamanawis 1
A result that I guess we are satisfied with considering we played the game with 5 grade 8s and 5 grade 9s. Unfortunately the post weekend injury bug hit today and once again another shifted lineup. Should be the same crew on Wednesday so we will be in tough. I'm just hoping we have three players ready for the Valleys or it could be a quick run. Girls battled hard again but the quality was really lacking today even more than usual.
SD 0 Elgin Park 1 - Elgin is a good team and deserved to win the game. We held them for just about 70 minutes then they capitalized on their first real chance since early in the first half when an errant cross clipped the cross bar. Overall, we did a good job of giving Elgin very little but we didn't create anything ourselves. Unfortunately, our lack of depth was evident again as we had to play the majority of our players, who aren't capable of it, for the 80 minutes. Elgin will do well in the Valleys and I'd be surprised if they didn't make Provincials..........us on the other hand. In the last 4 league games, we have scored a total of 3 goals and that is not going to get it done. We lack in some key areas due to different reasons and it shows against better teams like Elgin. Congratulations on winning the league, T4life, and getting a good home draw for the first couple of rounds at least. We will likely be on the road for our first game for the first time in 12 years......which will make it that much more difficult to get to that elusive 12th consecutive Provincial tournament.
Actually.....you're only TWO wins from Provincials. Top 6 make it this year, T4life. If you win your first two games you're in. If you lose one of the first two, you need to win your next two to get in.......if you lose first two....season over. We should try and make sure we don't meet each other in the second round.......just a thought.
