Witches of Courage

Taking on Woden for the second time in five days, things were not looking too bright for the Witches. They were only able to field ten players and a number of those were carrying injuries into the game. Conversely, Woden had a complement of fourteen players to call on. The Witches were instructed to play a defensive game, relying on quick counter attacks when possible. The first half was fairly predictably dominated by Woden both territorially and possession wise. Despite this the Witches defended brilliantly with only a minimum of errors and the score at half time was 0-0. The numerical advantage, combined with the injuries was taking it's toll on the Witches but they never baulked at the job ahead. Every player contributed to their maximum capacity and they repelled wave after wave of attack from an increasingly frustrated Woden.Although they were showing signs of severe fatigue the Witches took every opportunity to launch a counter attack, causing Woden no end of problems. It was from one of these swift raids that the Witches broke Woden's back, Rach sending through a long pass which was seized on by Cass. She took one touch then sent a low shot across the goal and into the far side netting. The Witches barely had the strength to celebrate the goal they were that exhausted. Nevertheless they did muster enough energy to snuff out Woden's last feeble attempts over the final seven minutes to signal the end of an incredible effort by the most wonderful, courageous group of Witches in Goulburn.(or anywhere else for that matter)
