Glen Shields 96 Girls Red - Sun Devils: Welcome

Glen Shields 96 Girls battled it out in the heat against Brams United Angels in the Ontario Cup semi-finals.  It was a game that would have made been worthy of the OC finals.  The girls started out strong with the first shot on net. After 10 minutes our determined right winger drove into the box and scored to give the team a 1-0 lead. It wasn't long before Brams' skilled midfielder launched one from the half, that skimmed the inside of our net, tying the game up.  The game was even with both teams suffering from the heat and with the 2 teams taking turns controlling and passing the ball for stretches.  Near the half-way mark the same Brams player managed to launch another ball giving them a 2-1 lead.  With 10 minutes left in the game, the GS centre striker headed the ball into the net on a free kick from the left side.  Perfect...now it's a 2-2 tie.  Then both teams worked hard to break the tie.  Brams increased their shooting frequency giving the GS goalie a real workout - an excellent job done!!  The GS wingers both fought their way into the box in turn, but their attempts were squashed by a very determined Brams defense.  The game would end on a 2-2 tie.  The game was determined on PK's in which Brams came out on top.  An excellent battle for the GS girls and proof that they are not a team to be taken lightly!!  Disappointing result but there is always next year!  Excellent job Glen Shields 96 girls!!
