Round 8.                         Strathalbyn vs Woodside Rams   Venue Stathalbyn 

It was a winters winter day , the pitch was heavy from the rain that had fallen earlier in the week , the wind was blowing and the contest was a beckoning, 

Strathalbyn came out firing in the first 10 minutes and turned the Woodside Rams into dumb founded Statues as they ran around us like we weren’t moving. Finally we switched on and were here to fight back the half was almost over and we were still down by 2 then there was a contest between goalie and our full forward and the ball was past the goalie a finisher and yes we were only down by 1 now. Then suddenly with a spurt of adrennalin, we looked like scoring again within a minute, but it missed by the way side only just. 

 Woodside Rams wasn’t finished with yet. 

2nd Half came about and the battle was on again the ball was pushed into strathalbyns defence and was then back into our defence, but with an injured player back and the goalie showing some fierce determination, strath was not looking like scoring. Finally Woodside Rams youngest player got a toe on the ball which gave enough space for our Full forward to take possession and push forward. A shot on goal and scores were level with about 10 minutes remaining. 

 We continued to apply pressure to the finish, but could not get over the line a last time one hitting the post and a few going over the top . 

 We finished up with a Draw even though it felt like a victory as we had come from behind and stolen what looked like a lost game for sure. Great game girls.
