Here is a little update from the Natives Winter Cup. First of all, what a pleasure to actually play in a tournament the girls really missed it. We all did. Parking entrance was a little bit of a challenge coming off the freeway. One entrance definitely not enough, just have to leave a little earlier NBD. Beautiful day sunny with a strong breeze. The fields are manicured and play very fast. As for our 1st game against Slammmers, they came out fast and scored within the first 5-10 minutes. They are strong physical and fast on their feet , we have played them before and they bring it every time. The second half belonged to us. We scored early in the half with a really nice build up. The game winner came late in the second half, on a cross and a great move by our nine who laced up a ball to the corner just out of the reach of the goalie. The game was almost equalized when our defense broke down and a 1 v 1 with the goalie resulted in a blast that almost took our goalie off her feet. She managed to keep the ball in front of her and the defense reacted to help clear the ball out. Final Olé 2-1.
I believe pateadores and Liverpool tied in the first game 0-0.
Our 2nd game was a 15-0 rout. against Pateadores. On a side note... It was nice to see the coaches from the team that played up to come watch us play against Slammmers. Pretty flattering. All the best!
