GISBORNE SOCCER

Jessica Larsen

Round six brought about a new challenge for the Gisborne women's soccer teams on Sunday as both teams struggled with low numbers due to injuries. The State Four team played away first at Scovell Reserve, against the Maribyrnong Swifts. Both teams were fairly even in skills, but the low numbers eventually took its toll as Gisborne conceded three goals. Despite not giving in, Gisborne eventually lost the game 0-3, and now sits eighth on the ladder with one point. The State Three Women's team fared slightly better than their squad-mates as they also travelled in round six. Gisborne came up against a physical Melton Phoenix side. Both teams were quite evenly matched and after a pinball-like first few minutes, Gisborne's Chloe Smith opened up the scoreboard. By the half-time break the visitors were ahead, 1-0. The second half was greeted with a new level of intensity as both teams fought for a lead. Eventually Melton broke through and scored an equaliser. Despite missed opportunities the game ended as a one-all draw. The sSate Three team is now placed at fifth on the ladder, just five points behind the leader, St Albans. This week, the State Three side hosts Melbourne University at Dixon Field, while the State Four side also plays at home against Lara FC.
