GAME #16
VS OURIMBAH (WON 3-0)
July 29, 2018
Although the girls dominated the possession in the first half and had several chances from corners as well as shots from Jade, Caddie and Emma Burdack, they were unable to make them count. The game remained scoreless until Jade took yet another corner which Caitlin somehow managed to head into the goal to finally take the lead.
The girls continued to have plenty of chances early in the second half. As the game progressed Ourimbah started to have a few chances of their own, but our defence was able to keep them out. Emma Burdack did well in goals and pulled off a lovely save to keep the lead.
Soon after another corner in from Jade was headed in by Bec to make it 2 nil and give the girls some breathing space. Then a lovely ball from Ellie found Jade, who took the ball forward and passed to Caitlin for a tap in to seal the win.

GAME #7
VS TERRIGAL 1 (WON 1-0)
May 20, 2018
The game started well today with 3 early chances that were just wide of the goal. Then Terrigal started to get on top and Wyoming spent most of first half defending, which they did rather well.

Luckily Emma Burdack was able to get there in time to clear it. The girls did have a few chances later in the half with shots from Bec, Jade and Jessi all saved by their keeper.
Not long into the second half Rachel had a shot but it went over. Terrigal continued to attack but were not able to score.

It was a tough game today as we only had 1 sub, and when Emma Barry had to come off injured there were no subs. A special thanks to Sandy from WAA2 who helped out today.

GAME #4
VS BERKELEY VALE (WON 4-0)
April 29, 2018
A great game today from the girls with plenty of chances. An early goal from Cailah getting the girls off to a good start. Cailah had another chance a few minutes later, but her header was just a touch too high. The second goal came from a header from Shannon in the 13th minute.
Berkeley Vale’s chances were few and far between with Kim, who was playing in goals today, lucky just to get a couple of touches of the ball.
With half time approaching, Cadina made a great run from the backs and placed a nice ball in, which Jessi back heeled into the net giving the girls a 3-Nil lead at half time.
In 3rd minute of the 2nd half Rachel chased down the ball and scored making it 4-nil. The game unfortunately was stopped 5 minutes into the 2nd half with a serious injury to a Berkeley player, and ended with a 4-nil win.

GAME #3
VS KARIONG (WON 1-0)
April 22, 2018
A frustrating game with the tigers having the majority of the possession and the majority of game being played in our attacking half, but the girls were just unable to score.
Kariong only had 2 shots on goal all game including a free kick which was neatly saved by Ellie.
In contrast Wyoming had at least 20 shots on goal, but a combination of desperate defending from Kariong and missed chances from Wyoming including a few which hit the post. The game was still locked at nil all with the end of the game nearing. It took a lovely taken shot from outside the box from Emma Burdack with about a minute to spare to seal the 3 points.
