Div 4 Women – Sunday 9 May 2010.

The Div 4 team meet for their first game of the season against St. Andrews College. The first five to ten minutes of the game Avon certainly took it to the top of the table team. We dominated the circle, had several shots on goal and were certainly not intimidated by the opposition.

Unfortunately STAC took the opportunity of a break away down their left flank and scored, very much against the run of play. However, our Avon girls did not flinch but continued to battle away and were very unlucky not to score on several occasions. Div 4 is an excellent grade to develop the skills of learning how to come back, what to do as a player and the patience that is often required when things aren’t going your way on the field.

The second half was played in much the same tone of the beginning of the first half of the game. The girls’ came out hard, fought for every ball, run and run like little running things. The second was a draw with no goals being scored at all. Well done Alison for listening at half time. The second half ended when the hooter sounded. This is however not the signal that the game is over and although a goal was scored by STAC, because all twenty two players stopped playing the opposition (very sportingly) and the referees did not count it. It was an excellent second half by every player on the field and the score reflected this.

Player of the day – Sarah Morley.
