Elbows, arms along way to big win

West Hobart vs Southern Combined
Final Score: 5 - 1
Goal scorers: AJ - 4, Josie - 1
Goalies: Lauren and Nadia

West Hobart won this fast-moving, if occasionally spiteful match, by playing with terrific skill and tenacity. It was a very 'physical' (aka rough) game against Southern Combined in our debut match against them but our players showed good sportsmanship throughout.

The game was notable for a few misplaced elbows and shoving, with players from both sides needing a spell on the side, however there were no red or yellow cards.

We scored early, then kicked another four goals, maintaining relentless pressure throughout the match. Southern Combined scored their only goal early in the second half.

AJ's persistence and accurate kicking netted her an amazing four goals, including this penalty shot, awarded for a handball.

Our greatly improved ball skills and passes demonstrate how much West Hobart has improved since the start of this season. Thanks are due to Cory for his help and coaching.

Special thanks to Paul (Anna's dad) for umpiring the entire match, once again showing what a supreme athlete he is.

Next week: West Hobart vs Taroona at Olinda Grove at 10am.
