Ambrit Girls Win Saturday Tournament

Ambrit's 'A' team continued to collect trophies and the 'B' team continued to collect valuable experience in a wonderful morning of sport at Ambrit.

Ambrit 'A' results:

RIS 0-10 Ambrit 'A' (Giulia 7, Julia 2, Chiara)

Ambrit 'B' 0-4 Ambrit 'A' (Camilla 3, Giulia)

St George's 3-3 Ambrit 'A' (Giulia 2, Emma Z)

Ambrit brushed aside the challenges of RIS and Ambrit 'B' to set up yet another 'final' with St George's. Going into the game with a better goal difference, the girls knew that a draw would suffice. Early on, they played to win and raced into a 3-1 advantage.

Then their rhythm slowed and St George's began to get back into the game, though it must be said that their attacking game depended disproportionately on a long throw-in tactic. Then referee Corcoran awarded a harsh penalty to the visitors and the score was 3-2. Another long throw then brought another goal - 3-3. Ambrit finally woke up again and controlled the game for the closing minutes.

A shaky end but a well deserved trophy. Team: Livia P; Valeria, Joana, Sara, Francesca, Chiara; Camilla, Olivia, Julia (C), Emma Z; Giulia

Ambrit 'B' results:

St George's 4-2 Ambrit 'B' (Mallika, Greta)

Ambrit 'B' 0-4 Ambrit 'A'

RIS 0-2 Ambrit 'B' (Mallika 2)

In a tough opening game, Ambrit went 2-0 down but recovered, began to play with more confidence and then scored through Mallika. Overall St George's continued to dominate but Greta scored the best goal of the game with a neat turn on the edge of the area and a sweet shot into the opposite corner. In the derby, Ambrit B played even better against their in-form club-mates and did well to keep the score down. In their last game, they dominated RIS but failed to create enough space going forward and had to settle for a modest victory.

Team: Lucrezia; Lara, Emma, Valeria, Angelica; Zoe, Mallika, Annika; Greta
