Week 5: Big win against Rosetta 7-0

Rosetta tried hard but just couldn't score today despite a lot of shouted encouragement from their coach. The score could have been even higher as there was a disputed 'out-of-play' in the first half just after a Devils goal.

Many of our players dazzled with their moves and were equally strong in attack and defence. Anna Jamison had a lovely run towards goal before passing cleverly to her team-mates who then scored. And congratulations to Tessa for scoring her first goal of the season (two goals, in fact). Other goals came from Bella, Bijou and AJ - sorry if I've missed anyone out. There's a detailed match review below.

It looks like a sea of red in both these shots but Rosetta also had some skilful players. Poor Alice Mary made two trips to the ground, the first one before 11am after misreading the 1pm kick-off time.

Match notes
Goal scorers: Tessa - 2, Bella - 1, Bijou - 2, AJ - 2, Rhianna - almost!

"The girls worked well as a team," says Sideline Sally, "with Alice Cox and Rosie solid in defence". Rosie was also goalkeeper in the first half with Lillie wearing the gloves after half-time. Our forwards Rhianna, Bella and AJ were doing very well with their passing. Mae was fearless tackling her opponents.

Rosetta were good adversaries but their repeated attempts to score were repelled by West Hobart's impenetrable backline. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful game.

We're keen to get regular match comments for this blog from all those parents who watch from the sidelines - come on, send them in!
