Sarnia at London Scottish

For their 1^st game of three in a week; Sarnia City travelled to face newly promoted London Scottish. Sarnia City would get on the ‘board quickly but a linesman’s flag would nullify the goal. Sarnia City were undeterred and continued to attack the Scottish defenders. Moments later City were rewarded with an easy tap in from Lindsay Postil. Although City would dominate the remainder of the 1^st half it was Scottish who converted a direct free kick for goal and at half the teams were even at one each.
 

The 2^nd half was the same as the 1^st, with City dominating the run of the play but failing to capitalize. While Scottish may have been encouraged by their good fortune at remaining even, Lauren Hayward dashed their hopes for a draw with a late strike and City headed home with their 1^st win of the season.

Sarnia vs London Marconi

London Marconi then paid a visit to Sarnia. Nancy Barwitzki put City ahead but Marconi would score twice before the half to make it 2-1. A third goal in the 2^nd half seemed to give Marconi a comfortable cushion but when Lauren Hayward made it 3-2  it was a nervous final few minutes for Marconi although they would hold on for the win.

 

Sarnia at London Portuguese
City then hopped back in their cars for another road trip to London to face the Portuguese. Karen L’Heureux fired a shot to the far post to put City out front. Minutes later L’Heureux hit the framework but couldn’t get to the rebound. Deep into the 2^nd half the 1-0 lead held up but Portuguese would fire two quick strikes to put the hosts ahead with only minutes to play. Sarnia City rose to the challenge when Ali Gartley knotted the game at two each. City continued to press for the winner pinning Portuguese in their zone and buzzing around the goal but time was not on City’s side and the game ended in a draw.
