Final group game win in France
Posted by Iain Strachan on 26 February 2011
The final group game was a chance for the youngsters to get more court time and both Morgan Hutchison (16) and Jessica Ross (14) showed they are the future of the club. A slow start saw us go a goal down but the deflection queen, Heather deflected a ball over a diving keeper to end a nice passing move. Julie managed to put us into the lead but we gave away a soft goal to again level the scores. Not long before half time Vikki rounded the keeper and fired home for a 3 - 2 lead at the half.
A strong start to the second half saw us go 4 - 2 then 5 - 2 up through Vikki and Heather but a combination of knowing we were through and taking it easier for the next game let them claw their way back to 5 - 4.Amy dispelled any thoughts they had about getting level with a nice finish and despite them throwing on a KB we were safe to the end
Now the real tournament begins; we cannot be relegated but if we want promoted we will probably need to win both our next two games against a very good Austrian outfit and Leicester from England with heir 9 GB internationalists.
Bring it on
