Ladies: 7-1. Super Georgina was the MVP with 3 goals. In what was supposed to be an easy game for the Ladies, they started building the score early in the game: the ‘Georgina show’ was even better, adding speed to the game. However the passes were not getting into the circle where our captain Angela Lima was looking them, and this lack of accuracy turned the game into a very hard situation to solve… But Georgina scored again from a brilliant move with only 4 passes from the defensive line to the back of the opposition goal: only then did LCHC get going, everything started to flow and 2 minutes later the youngest player Marina scored again this season, after earlier  goals in the league!! In the midfield Janna Wende and Inês Campos showed a mature attitude holding that sector every time Casa Pia A.C. tried to do something.

In the second half, Georgina completed her hat-trick of the game, Inês Campos also scored, and Rita de Sousa scored 2 more goals for LCHC ladies. Casa Pia A.C. got their goal 3 minutes from the end of the game.

Another day and a completely different game: yesterday the Ladies played against Cathedral School Llandaff, a much younger but very well organized team that gave us a lot of problems on the counter attack.

LCHC controlled most of the game, despite the decreased level of their game, mostly due to the great effort expended the previous day against Wellington College. Nevertheless the Ladies pushed hard and got their 1st goal from a short corner with a beautiful drag flick by Joana Penetra into the bottom right corner. Cathedral School reacted straight away by attacking our area, and soon scored their well deserved goal.

In the second half LCHC were a more determined team and pushed really hard with the midfielders Georgina Scheder-Bieschin, Joana Penetra and Inês Campos getting their game together. In defence Marie-Sophie was more than a gigantic wall with no ball getting through her, and the LCHC attacks were more dangerous from her side. We have to say Girl of the Match was Rita de Sousa who broke the deadlock with a hat-trick to make the final score 4-1. A final reference to our youngest Marina, who is providing some serious competition for former LCHC forwards with her three goal assists!!

Thanks to Move Sports and Cathedral School, LLandaff for making this game possible. A big thank you also to the 3 Belenenses players who kindly accepted to play for us (Isabel, Madalena and Filipa), and an even bigger special thanks to Jessica ‘Cacauette’ from Casa Pia.

Last night LCHC ladies won 3-1 against Wellington College Belfast.

A lovely game with both sides doing everything to attack the circle. The 1-1 score at half time was a true sign of the perfect balance between the two teams with the LCHC goal being scored by our youngest player Marina Gancedo.

In the second half the more experienced LCHC team found their second goal through Rita de Sousa, but the best moment of the night was reserved for the end: a perfectly injected short corner by Carolina Oliveira, but not so well stopped. However the loose ball found the stick of Raquel Freitas who only had time for a backhand shot and, with the ball on it’s way to goal, Angela Lima managed a beautiful mid-air deflection sending the ball straight into the top left angle, and making everyone around the pitch cheer loudly!

Lisbon Casuals Ladies would like to thank Browns Sports&Leisure Club for making this game possible despite all the difficulties, and a special thanks to the Wellington College Belfast player Olivia, who played for LCHC in the first half. Thank you very much and see you guys next year.
