Morrinsville 2 v Matamata Swifts Ladies 4

Matamata was up against a staunch Morrinsville side. Played at Morrinsville on a very soggy pitch ,it was difficult to control the ball.

Matamata were first to score with a fine goal from Nerrida Dodge. Morrinsville were looking dangerous and before long they managed to score from a corner. Matamata battled on with Jen Wild valuable at centre back putting through some thundering clearance kicks. Jo Good has made an impact on the team working hard in defense. Viki Mclean had a gutsy game in goal in the first half with some mud splattering saves.

There was a mishap that fullback Lani Guilford would rather forget. She went for the smashing clearance in the 18 yard box... the ball deflecting off her knee and straght past her own keeper. The mishap was quickly forgotten as Nat Gaskell weaved around players slotting one past the Morrinsville keeper. The goals were shared by Nat Gaskell, Nerrida Dodge and Elena Parlane. It was a well fought match played in wet, cold conditions.

Sunday's player of the day for Matamata was Viki Mclean.
