Match Report

The Matamata Swifts Ladies completed their triumphant 2006 division B campaign with another resounding victory, this time smashing fifteen goals without reply past their helpless opponents from Tokoroa.

The scene was set early on as Matamata wasted no time getting on the score board. Sarah Monteith drilled the ball into an empty net in the first minute and the team started clicking up through the gears from there. Some good goals were to follow soon after, with Nat Gaskell's acrobatic volley and Serena Jenkins' drive from 25-yards being particular highlights.

A six goal first half was a mere taste of what was to follow. The Swifts Ladies were merciless after the break notching another nine goals to take them to their second largest winning margin and past double figures for the sixth time this season.

While the goals came from the usual suspects, and with them the glory, the Swifts Ladies were strong all over the park. Jo Good and captain, Jenn Wild, were dominant at the back and goalie, Jenn Hull, dealt with everything that came her way to keep another clean sheet. Youngsters Jamie Morgan and Ashley Ferguson contributed well out wide.

The Swifts Ladies can now ease into a well deserved summer break and reflect on a superb season. Well led by Nat Gaskell and Jenn Wild, the team has unearthed a number of keen, eager and improving young players. They can look forward with hope to their elevation next season to the top Waikato division.

Goalscorers: Nat Gaskell (6), Sarah Monteith (3), Sarah Hockley (3), Serena Jenkins (3).

Player of the day: captain Jenn Wild.
