Womens M2S v Essendon (R1)

Women’s 3′s – Saturday 6.30pm vs Essendon Ladies

Despite no warm up, no line up, no coach and some of the team not arriving until 10 minutes before the game, we somehow managed to get ourselves sorted and onto the
pitch by the time the whistle blew for the start of the game.

After a tough 1st half we went into half time 2-1 down despite having had the majority of the play. With some valuable half-time comments from our stand-in coach, Katie James, we went into the 2nd half confident and we looked like we were in a good position to win the game.

Unfortunately it was our fitness that let us down in the end and Essendon managed to score 3 more times in the 2nd half (mainly from quick breaks) to end up winning the
game 5-1.

Emma Wallin & Jacqui Gibbons played well in their 1st games for Kew and with a lot of this year’s 3rds team being made up of players from the premiership-winning 4ths team of 2008, the signs are looking good for the rest of the 2010 Women’s M1N season.
