RISA League 20 May 2017: Ambrit finish stongly

Our first game this Saturday was with AOSR 'A'. Under heavy rain, both teams found it hard to score. It was only when Lapo took a long shot off a rebound from a corner kick and the ball bounced off an AOSR defender that e managed to go 1-0 up. Not long into the game, Alex took a similar shot from outside the goal line for 2-0. For the rest of the game Ambrit played a tight defense, not letting one goal through.

Ambrit vs St Georges 'A' was a challenging game. St George's managed to score 2 goals in the first half. Ambrit managed to push back the St George's defense and Taro opened them up with a great pass to Sam for the goal. Ambrit had a few more chances to score, especially with a shot from Pietu in midfield, but St George's managed to get another goal with a corner kick right on the whistle. The match finished 3-1.

With two back-to-back games, Ambrit now found themselves playing against a well-rested new school. New school's first goal found Ambrit's goalie unprepared when the defense pressed up. Ambrit's chance to score came when Lapo shot a free kick but great defense and fast passing by New School had us down by 2 goals in the first half. Another free kick, this time by Alex, was our main hope to score but the goalie knocked it out for a corner kick. New school managed to get another goal in and Ambrit used their last strength to keep the scoreine down.

Our last game was against St George's 'B' - a game played with ease, almost like a friendly match. Jerry from midfield dribbled through the defense line for a great opening goal, followed by a goal by Alex when Elias crossed a great ball right to his feet. Another goal from Jerry came when he took a rebound, forcing in and disturbing the goalie on a corner kick. Our fourth goal was from Sam after taking a great pass from Jerry in midfield. St George's only managed to score on the last minute ending the game 4-1 for us.
