The Breakers U15 girls braved the cold on Sunday to play Barossa United at home. The girls came away with a 0-1 loss but a great performance by both teams made it an entertaining and even contest.The girls started well with Nila Mohring, Katye O’Donnell and Abby Ellis all looking eager to score.However, the Barossa attack showed early flashes of speed and Amber Kim, Lokke Rennerts and Hannah Rowlands had to play their best to keep them at bay.Up the other end, a great pass from Kim to O’Donnell and on to Mohring looked like it would almost certainly end in a goal but the linesman had his flag up and the opportunity was lost.Image: Lucy Boundey taking a ball to the headShortly after O’Donnell wooshed another just wide of the post.Barossa then got a lucky break to make the score 0-1.The Breakers girls kept working though, with Sophia Moore, Taylor Perry, Alana Anderson and Zoe Warren particularly busy in the midfield.Zara Boundey came on briefly but was beaten by the conditions and a niggling calf problem.Hannah Rowlands came off, with Estelle Dybala on and only minutes later a great shot from her from the halfway line created another chance for O’Donnell.After the halftime break the play continued evenly as before.Image: Ella Bryant had a great day in goal, putting off a number of fantastic savesBarossa pushed forward but then a hand-ball in the box to them caused some confusion, with the ball still in play but both sides uncertain of what to do.With the Barossa coach making more sub changes than the Morrison government, the Breakers couldn’t keep to their flowing game, with play held up at every throw in or free kick.However, the Breakers girls kept trying and trying, with many players looking to be on the verge of scoring. Lucy Boundey chucked a few shots forward that just needed a little more oomph and Abby Ellis looked very dangerous but just couldn’t get one away.In the end the score was 0-1 but the game could have gone either way with a great display of talent and sportsmanship from both teams.Ella Bryant showed some real talent in goal and pulled off a number of great saves.The girls play away against Stuart Lions next week. Kick off at 10.30 at Karinya Reserve.
