Once again we were without a referee and Peter our coach had to ref. We hate this when it happens � not only are we left without a coach but the other team get cranky that our coach has to ref and think its biasis�  (like we hav ea choice) No wanting to be rude but the Manly Vale coach and sideline were sooooo rude!! Yelling abuse at our players and the referee � Peter ended up showing the coach a card and sending him off the field! Oucharama!! Manly Vale also had some U16 players playing and their parents told us off at half time � telling us to go easy on their kids and not tackle them!! Umm hello, if you play in Ladies Division you are playing with the big kids!! (And hey our team is pretty small in size compared to other teams in our league!!) One of their U16 players ended up getting a card for being so rude to the ref!!

Anyway enough whinging and onto the match report!!

We managed to field a team today with a sub even - despite it being a public holiday! The first goal of the day was from a cross from Kristen � Tash went in to knock it into the back of the net but Manly Vale goalie grabbed Tash�s ankles (instead of the ball) and brought her crashing to the ground (and Tash took out the goalie on the way down). Luckily Nat was running in at the same time and just managed to knock the ball in! Woo hoo! Nat�s first goal and didn�t her celebrations do it justice!!

Manly Vale got a penalty for handball in the box and took the penalty and it went in.. But the whistle had blown � their players were in the box before she kicked the ball. So we got a second chance and Kathy saved it the second time around! Go Kathy!

In the second half Leona had switched to from her �striker apprenticeship� into right midfield and took the ball for a lovely run down the wing� towards goal.. she shoots.. she scores!!

Unfortunately our goal kicks weren�t happening today � barely making it over the first row of defenders. Manly Vale took advantage of this weakness and were first to the ball and managed to slot one into the goal. Drats..

But it wasn�t all over yet - Two Manly Vale players handballed the ball in the penalty box and Narrabeen were awarded a penalty. Kristin stepped up and calmly slotted the ball in.

End result 3-1 to the Beanies but all the girls were frustrated with Manly Vale�s sideline.... Remember its only soccer!!
