CPAC S15 x LC S15

On our return game against the experienced league leaders (CP), we were hoping for some improvement from our first game of the season. At half time the score was a respectable 2-5 with CP. In the second half we lost a bit of shape and discipline and CP demonstrated why they have beaten all other teams with relative ease, with the final result being 3-12. On the bright side, only one other team has scored more than 1 goal against CP this season, largely to their excellent goalkeeper, and we scored 3 fantastic, high quality goals!!!
Good performance all round and the learning experience continues. Time for a well earned Christmas break – our next game will be against our LC ladies on 6 January (11.00am) followed by 2 games on 13 and 14 January.
Goals: Sebastian 3
Assists: Rodolfe 2

U15 lost by 2-0

Saturday 1 December: we lost 1-4 to CFB Ladies during game 4 so it was going to be interesting to see how much progress we had made since then. Could we possibly manage to turn the result around into a second win in such a short period of time?

Uncharacteristically we got off to a very nervous and shaky start and could easily have been 2 goals down after 5 minutes – but “guess who” once more came to our rescue? None other than Francisco “nothing-goes-past-me-frango” Burnay, with another brilliant display from beginning to end (nota bem mum & dad, he’s earning himself a great present for Xmas….!). The “boat” steadied and from then on the game was very tight with neither side dominating and chances occurring at both ends, with João B going close to scoring on several occasions. Eventually late in the second half CFB scored from loose marking and again in the last seconds of the game. Overall, a major improvement on game 4.
 
Good performances all round, in particular with Maggie and Ben both starting to demonstrate sound techniques from training and tireless work from the “central engine room” by Pedro L who provided the opponents with lots of headaches!
 
Next Saturday we will have a tough return match against CP in Belem, Lisbon so look forward to lots of support in our last match before the Christmas break! “
