Game 3>> Goals: 6, Goal-Posts: 4

On a sunny but cold December day Braefoot Park field #3E hosted the second leg of the much anticipated LISA u10g vs LakeHill u11g Reds Super8 game!

The first game between the teams saw a spirited match played on the turf at Finlayson Park which ended in a 2-2 draw. Both teams where familiar with their opponents and parents noted that the tactics where changed for this encounter!

LISA started the game with a quick goal then settled into a midfield game.

Despite the size difference the LISA girls got 'stuck in' in an effort to take possession of the ball.

LakeHill (and LISA u11g) player: Cedar struck the cross bar twice in the first half with well placed shots to the upper left side but her team mate Justine was to get the equalizer for the 'Reds'. Charlene (LH) would give the 'Reds' the go ahead.

In the second half it was the LISA girls who would hit the cross bar but fail to connect on a few attempts to equalize the score until BriannaW (JdF) would get the come back goal for the LISA 'Blues' which was short lived as LakeHill continued to apply excellent pressure and where rewarded with their insurance goal!



The LISA staff remarked after a well played game that there where a lot of positives that came out of this third Super8 game played by the 'Blues'. The midfield was much better than in past games. Also, the second goal demonstrated some excellent passing. Coach Godwill did say that the team will need some work on their defensive play especially how they move the ball out of their end and that he would incorporate that into future training sessions.

Once again the LISA team wishes to thank the LakeHill Soccer Club for hosting the game and for providing good competition! Thanks to all the parents and our Ref: EvanF!

'Player of the Game' honours went to Lindsey and Brianna from LISA, and Justine and Charlene from LakeHill
