West Hobart lose by a goal in Heart-stopper

West Hobart v. Sacred Heart
Final Score: 3 - 4 (win to Sacred Heart)
Goal Scorers: Alice C - 2, Jacinta - 1
Goalies: Rosie and Anna S-M

It was an evenly paced game for much of the first half. Sacred Heart was first to post a score but 10 minutes later, West Hobart responded with an equalising goal from Alice C's powerful boot.

Bella worked hard in defence, repelling repeated attacks from the Sacred Heart forward line. AJ was as persistent as ever in midfield, pushing the ball into attack despite battling with opposition team members twice her size.

At the end of the first half, the score remained at 1 - 1.

The second half began with a strong push from a very determined Sacred Heart team who quickly moved the score to 3 -1 after twice successfully penetrating the valiant West Hobart defence.

West Hobart fought back with a lovely high goal from Jacinta with 10 minutes to go. A draw was looking a real possibility when Alice C scored a second goal on rebound from the keeper after a first attempt.

Four minutes to go and the score was 4 - 3 to Sacred Heart! Although our forwards chased hard for an equalizer, it was not to be, with the score at the final whistle unchanged.

Well done to Lauren Wilson who defended and tackled strongly, contributing to a solid effort from the West Hobart backline. Anna S-M also did a sterling job as goalie in the second half under heavy fire from Sacred Heart and although a few goals found their way in, many more were bravely defended.

Next week: West Hobart v. Dominic at Dominic College at 10.00am
