This weeks footage 🎬comes from our seasons second matchup against Noranda💪. No footage from last weeks scheduled match with a gimme 3 points when our rivals had to forfeit the fixture😢. Not so this week with Noranda sporting a healthy 15 man line up👏. Last time we met, our girls walked away with a dominant 9/2 win🥳🔥. However, with Noranda improving in all their second round games👊, including almost stealing a point from Bassendean in a recent 3/2 thriller😲, nothing was taken for granted. Plus, as with most of our past games with Noranda, 🤔plenty of spice was anticipated.
No Chelsea, Little Jess or Di for this one, however 🥳Gabs wanted to test her ankle with a few small runs after being absent for the past five weeks. She joined 💃Linda, Maddie, Kid Kinkaid, Lisa, The Roach, G, Big Red, Sal the Favourite, Renee, Big Jess (AKA Clydesdale Jess,) Briar, Cheyenne and Shelberry💃.
The game was just a few minutes underway when after a series of touches, losing then regaining possession, a deft left foot flick from G set Shelby on her way. 🔥Running direct toward goal with a touch or two, Shelby rewarded the play by neatly slotting it well out of reach of the keeper.💪
Noranda constructed a few forward half moves, however we were building play after play of deep forward surges😘, placing plenty of strain on Noranda’s defensive line🥵.
Cheyenne came extremely close 🤏if not for a nice reflex keeper save, but the excitement may of been too much for Sally who needed some respite from an ensuing asthma attack.🥴
Errors were being forced 👊and it was Cheyenne who came closest again, attempting to guide home a corner ball provided by her sibling👏. Briar then tried her luck, chipping too high, 👏but the next break through came with what I’m claiming as, a super sub.💪
Gabs took the field and as she pressured the well weighted G set piece, Gabs first touch resulted in the ball falling nicely to Shelbs, 🔥who had timed her run perfectly to tap home our second. Before anyone had time to take a breath, 😲within a minute of the restart, Super G made an interception💪, laid it off to Briar who spied the cue being given by our forwards👊. An exquisite through ball was pounced upon by Shelby 🔥who took one touch before powering home the shot on goal. Although the keeper closed the angle well, 🤔and maybe could have done better with the attempted parry, the firm strike rewarded Shelby a 12 minute hattrick, 💃a testament to some impressive team plays.🥳🥳🥳
When Red took a throw in a few minutes later, Jess’ flick to the running Gabs who improvised from a bad first touch, made amends quickly with a delicate pass through to free the unmarked Briar for a one on one with the keeper. 🔥After a small first touch, a quick back lift of her left foot was too quick for the advancing keeper.
The score had quickly blown out and 🤔Noranda had to make changes for damage control and halt the one sidedness. 👏👏Bolstering their defences allowed them to finally settle and immediately from the restart, Noranda began matching our girls with the amount of forward runs. 🤔It was just a matter of who would score next. And it would be Noranda who took the opportunity at the 25 minute mark 🔥with a back post tap home from and uncleared corner.👏
Briar came close as she struck the upright😲. Sally hinted 🙄her desire to return to the field. Big Jess had a decent crack 👏that sailed wide. Then Noranda hit the upright with a decent smack from distance👏. Shelby, who btw is desperate to prove to the coach she can score with both feet, 😬had a fair attempt with her left 🤏but was just slightly askew of the target. 4/1 at the break.💃💃💃
In the opening minutes of the second half, Roach set up Briar who was superbly denied at the front post😲. A short time later the roles were reversed with Roach being denied by the diving keeper😮. Jess had an attempt with the head👏, all the meanwhile our defensive line were holding firm 💪💪and keeping Noranda well contained.🥳
Shelby banshee screaming at an inquisitive magpie was a jovial release 😂😂amongst some hardness in plays, forcing her to swap sides of the ground. After she stopped using G as a protective shield that is.🤣🤣
Gabi almost scored a sweet cross goal strike😲, disappointingly watching it ricochet of the post. Another great opportunity presented as Cheyenne and Shelby broke the offside trap when G provided, however a 🤏slightly over hit left forced Shelbs wide and the chance went begging.😢
Cheyenne was denied a short while later, 👊and even though our final third runs and tally of shots on goal soared, 💃no joy was being received. 😒
Renee had a decent go with the head👏, Shelby hit a little too straight🤏, and with some of the hardness seen, both sides had their frustrations😩. Sally had seen enough 🙄and demanded to be put back on, and then watched on as Briar was brilliantly denied by the outstretched foot of the keeper 😩who was all but beaten. Never mind, 🤔because before the cheers for the awesome save had barely subsided, 🔥the resultant corner was volleyed home by Sal, 🤔......although Big Jess had also tried to claim it, sporting Sally’s sprig marks on her thigh.
And that was it. 👏👏A stronger defensive performance in the second period by Noranda and some genius in goal denied a larger return from what was an impressive team game by our girls.💃💃💃💃
Well done to all who participated and cheers to all the supporters present for the spectacle.👏👏

Our ladies Grand final at Sporties went ahead, scraping in before the lockdowns, however it was still plagued with issues.
A training accident to Neymar’s Lisa🚑 the evening before, resulted with only three Neymars available for the final. After sneaking through last week with four players, the Neymars were looking forward to the challenge, but three against Carioca was a tall ask. The famous line from The Castle sprang to mind. “Tell him he’s dreaming.”
Sad for the Neymars with their undefeated season, but tough ti***es. No mollycoddling here.
Carioca’s berth into the GF was sadly by forfeit, however neither Carioca or Sporties would be satisfied with a free GF win under the same circumstances. Solution... two Neymars combined with three Pink Bits to offer up some competition.
Shelby and Maddie from the 🤓🥽Neymars. Kylie, Dani and Chelsea from the 👙👚Pinkies. Combined, the 👙🤓Pink Neymars took on six from 💜💫Carioca, with Renee, Linda, Kristina, Sarah, Nakisa and Rose in the line up.

The Pink Neymars PN’s pushed hard in the early minutes with several attempts on goal, 🔥however it was Carioca seizing the opportunity for first blood. After the ball ricocheted of the front post and snuck behind the keeper, Sarah was Johnny on the spot for the tap in.
Carioca then settled, however the PN’s Neymars continued the pressure and finally found reward. 🔥Shelby’s interception led to a short drive and emphatic finish, drawing level.
Shot for shot followed for a short time before the deadlock was broken. 🔥This time Maddie intercepted a Carioca play and with the quick lay off, Shelby surely slotted it home.
The lead was short lived when a couple minutes before the half, 🔥a nice one two play on the counter had Kristina levelling the scores.
From the restart the PN’s opened with a flurry and before Carioca had settled in, 🔥Chelsea fed Dani who’s accurate strike was too good for keeper Linda. The PN’s nearly went two up, which would have made it interesting, being denied by the upright. Sad too because in a blink, 🔥🔥Carioca were back in front when Renee smacked in a brace. When two more unanswered goals, 🔥one by Kristina and the other by 🔥Rose, put Carioca in a commanding 6/3 position, all looked lost for the Neymars with only a couple minutes to go.
But a life line was restored 🔥when Chelsea’s hit and hope slipped under keeper Linda’s fingers, presenting a small glimmer of possibility for the PN’s. 🔥However, when Renee’s sideline free caught the keeper out, Kristina took the opportunity to seal her hattrick with A Roach, stealing the goal with an easy tap in on the line.
7/4 in favour of Carioca. Well done ladies.
Renee picked up the match mvp, good job Renoodle.

Wolves Futsal and Sporties wishes everybody stay safe during this unsettling time, and we look forward to returning to the hallowed Sporties turf, whenever that shall be.
