ABBOTSFORD JUNIORS FOOTBALL CLUB 2018 YEARBOOK UNDER 11/2 GIRLS 2018 for the Girls U11 Division 2 team started as a year of change with the team welcoming three new players (Elise Borozan, Kirsty Boyd and Jacinta Luca Donato) who joined the core playing group from last year. The team was fortunate to have 13 girls keen to play, meaning that player rotation was to be a feature of the season. With a new coach finding his way, the team started slowly with a draw and 3 losses. All these games were competitive affairs with teams producing plenty of goals. The highlight during this period was a hat-trick by Evie Halliday in a 3-5 losing effort against Enfield. The team work and development through the year showed and with it, results came. The team going on an unbeaten in a run of 10 matches through the middle of the season topped off with 5 wins. Particularly pleasing was the team’s never say die attitude with the majority of games featuring come from behind goals to either draw or win in the last minutes of the game. Slowly the team started to combine together as a team and with a resolute defence led by Nicola Lacomba combined with goalkeepers, Abigail Williamson and Elise Borozan, opposition teams found it increasingly difficult to score. Games during this period were typified by end to end action with breakouts lead by the team’s midfield of Rose Halliday, Kiara Pantalone and Jacinta providing numerous opportunities on goal for the team’s forwards, Summer Hadfield, Addison Bridle and Zoe Dracos. Highlights for the year were many. Rose’s hat-trick against Punchbowl to match her cousin Evie’s effort the week before. Elise’s worldcup worthy goalkeeping save from a last-minute corner to earn the team a 0-0 draw with Enfield. With a full team this year, the adaptability of team players, Evie Halliday, Keilani Wirihana, Kirsty Boyd and Makayla Bartholomew showed through as they moved from position to position across the park, allowing other team members well-earned breaks on the bench while providing fresh challenges for oppositions teams. 64 | P age
