Middlesex
United Invitational
Strathroy, Ontario
June 5th and 6th
Port
Elgin 2, Sarnia 0
The
team played in their first tourney over
the weekend at the Middlesex United
Invitational. The tournament, with two
25 minute halves per game, was
challenged by the heavy rains that came
late in the week and the first game was
moved to an undersized school pitch.
Despite outplaying the Port Elgin squad
and having hit a post and cross bar in
the process, Sarnia came away on the
losing side of a 2 - nil score.
Sarnia
2, Chatham 1
In the
Saturday afternoon game, Sarnia met
Chatham for the second time in three
days and dominated play from start to
finish. Naomi Parsons scored in the 24th
minute and Amy Bennett
made it 2-nil in the 32nd minute.
Chatham picked up a goal on a penalty
kick in the 43rd minute.
Sarnia
2, Etobicoke 0
The
win over
Chatham allowed
Sarnia to draft Etobicoke Energy as
their next opponent on Sunday morning.
Once again, Sarnia dominated from start
to finish but after scoring two early
goals both by Naomi Parsons on great
feeds by Sadie Gibson,
Sarnia struggled to put the ball in the
net.
Stratroy 2, Sarnia 1
The
scoring trouble continued for Sarnia but
they did manage to take the lead on a
goal by Sadie Gibson.
Strathroy got that one back just before
the half. The teams took turns
pressing in an evenly battled contest
and Strathroy came away with a victory
scoring the winner with just over a minute left
to play.
