Fun at Finlayson!

Victoria in December! Sunday morning 8.30am Finlayson Park!

32 players from LISA, LakeHill and BaysU particpate in two Super8 exhibition games (U10,U11,U12g teams) following a day when most players where unable to play due to field closures! For many of the LISA players this was their first time on the new City of Victoria Turf field and over the next 50 minutes many would see balls run away from their feet and over the touch line thanks in part to the speedy playing surface!!

Last week the LISA u10g team played at Braefoot Park vs the LakeHill u11g Lightning this time they where the 'home' team playing against the LakeHill u11g Reds team which is also the club side for two of the LISA u11g players: Justine and Cedar! LISA was once again short one of their strong defenders and LakeHill also fielded a side short a player or two.

The game started with the LakeHill Reds controlling much of the play in the opening 20 minutes with Justine, Teagan and Cedar often threatening the LISA defense. It was not long before Justine opened the scoring for LakeHill. The LISA side playing just their second Super8 format game where still getting acustomed to the midfield position! Before the 1st half ended Teagan also notched a goal past the unlucky LISA goalie!

The second half pep talk from Coach Godwill had an immediate effect on the players who started to use the width of the field by taking the ball down the line and looking for some passing opportunities. Twice Monique (LH) was unlucky in close range but LakeHill keeper: Charlene came up with some big saves! Ally who was playing in goal for LISA was not tested very often in the second half.
LISAs speed right winger BrianneW (JdF) combined with CathryneG (BU) for many exciting plays. Cathryne scored twice in the 2nd half to draw the LISA side even for a final 2-2 end score!
The fans enjoyed the game from the bleachers!



Thanks to the LakeHill players, parents and ref: EvanF !
