Leopards vs Waimea Heights (by Alice)

An eyewitness account of today's match by Alice Cox, aged 7

On Saturday 27th May we played Waimea Heights. We lost our game and the score was 1-3.

The Leopards did very well in the second half. Sarah was a very good player and scored the one goal for us, we were glad we have her here on our team. All the parents said either "Yay!" or "Too bad."

Refuelling: Alice, Big Anna and Bella

What is the secret formula for the Leopards? LOLLIES! Eleanor brought some secret-weapon sour bears for half time.

In the second half, we tried very hard indeed because Waimea Heights had already scored three goals. Sarah, me and Bella got kicked by accident by a girl from the other team but the Leopards did very good kicks, throw-ins and attacks.

At the end, we shook hands. Some people had to shake the deadly enemy's hands.

Leopards chase Matildas away

Same ground, different team but the girls played well to win this week's match. We beat the Lenah Valley Matildas 3-1 at the Crossroads ground. Sarah scored two of the three goals and was fierce and relentless in attack. Stephen the coach also showed plenty of spring while refereeing the game, with his occasional leaps to avoid the ball.




And this picture shows that not all leopards are fierce...

And all the stars came out to play

Congratulations to everyone after last week's match at the Domain Crossroads. We drew 2-all with Taroona. May and Sarah dominated the attack but the whole team played well. One example was Anna, who chased the ball harder than ever.

Our next game is against Lenah Valley Matildas on Saturday 20th May, also at the Domain Crossroads, No.2 ground. Kick-off is 11am.

Talking of Anna...here's two! Big Anna and Little Anna are wondering what to do next.
