Our worst start this season (for a number of reasons) saw us 4 – 0 down after only 12 minutes!
On what turned out to be a very cold night, also produced a fabulous come-back. Structure was re-established and we slowly got ourselves back into the game. We scored through Jade Henley-Smith towards the end of the first half to go to the break 4 – 1 down.
Having settled into a working pattern the girls went about improving our score. We scored twice through Emanae Ferguson to get back into the game. Both sides had their chances as the second half progressed but we were still slightly dominant. About 6 minutes from the end of the game we were awarded a penalty corner that was converted by Zoe Lapwood …….. to equalise!
A very tense final few minutes saw both sides working hard. Unfortunately in the last seconds of the game (literally!) Pukekohe scored to beat us 5 – 4.
A game that demonstrated the commitment and effort of a team that impressed spectators and made the coaching staff very proud! No player of the day because it was a real TEAM effort.
