Game4... Cheetahs swim with the Dolphins

1 - Cheetahs 4

The fourth game of the LISA development season saw the 'Dolphins' host the powerful JdF Cheetahs (aka: Team Bud) on the UVIC turf field. Coach Godwill started with a 25 minute skills practice focusing on passing and foot skills.

Once the game got under way the JdF team quickly took command with an excellent use of the field width and crisp passing. Parents quickly observed how the JdF team seemed to know where their teammates where on the field, balls where passed into open spaces and quickly found their way onto JdF feet that passed the ball to the awaiting goal mouth.

The JdF Cheetahs where able to capitalize on early chances and quickly took a 2-nil lead. The LISA u10G Dophins started off on the back-heal but over the course of the 1st half picked up their pace and improved their marking of JdF players. The half ended with JdF in front 3-nil. The second half started with a much more focused LISA team playing their positions and looking for their team mates. Lindsey, Zoe, Ally and Brianna where just a few of the players who made an impact in the second half. The LISA girls closed the gap with an early goal by Lindsey. Both teams had numerous chances during the remaining 20 minutes. LISA Goaltender Michaela made numerous excellent saves in the second half, however it was JdF that scored next to close out the game with a much deserved 4-1 victory.

Despite recording their second loss of the campaign the girls look forward to their next game to be held Jan 29th also at UVIC vs a u11 team from BaysU. Special thanks to Coach BudL of JdF and his team for providing excellent competition for the LISA u10G squad. The LISA record is now 1-1-2 with three more exhibitions till tournament play in March and April.
