Thrilling Final Victory Wraps Up a Great Year.

The Witches arrived at UoC to the news that Amy was unavailable due to illness but Lizzie passed a late fitness test and was a definite starter. Their was an air of nervous excitement as the Witches warmed up but once the game started it was down to business. There was little between the two sides in the first half. The respective defences were doing an effective job of cancelling out their opponents attacks and the game became a battle of the midfield. The heat was affecting both sides but the tempo never flagged. Despite opportunities at both ends of the park the game remained scoreless at half time. The second half was just as torrid as the first but slowly the Witches were gaining the ascendancy in the middle of the park, giving their forwards more opportunities. Cassie burst through twice in as many minutes, a desperate last ditch tackle saving Woden the first time and the second effort saw Cass' shot glide inches past the post.Milly made inroads but there was no support then Natina looked hit a shot straight at the keeper. Then Natina looked certain to score as she carved up Woden's central defence but a superb save by the keeper saw her powerful drive deflected for a corner. At the far end Danni proved that she has become a top class keeper with a string of courageous dives at the feet of the Woden forwards. The Witches finally broke through to score the winning goal in the 66th minute when Lizzie, who was having an outstanding game in the middle of the park, won possession and sent the ball through to Natina who cut inside before making no mistake with a brilliant shot from 18m that gave the keeper no hope. Woden weren't yet finished and gave the large crowd some nervous moments in the remaining 14mins as they chased their vanishing dream. Unfortunately for them, the Witches defence was impenetrable and the final whistle saw the Witches claim the double - champions and premiers.
