The girls saw out the 2015-16 season with more than a bang, crushing 2nd place contenders Casares 8-1 in the last game to snatch 4th place from Coin. Needing to win by two clear goals we made sure with five goals from Hartley (in her new role as player/manager), two from Orme, one from Nguyer, and some incredible saves from goalie Batt - so close to the clean sheet she has been after since joining us in November. Now for the Cup!
First league win away against Casares, 4-1 after conceding a 1st minute penalty for a very accidental handball in front of goal. The opposition goal was bombarded throughout the second half, with the gloveless Casares goalie brilliantly keeping our tally to four, with goals from Hartley (hatrick) & Slattery. SAS solid performance was definitely helped by our midweek friendly against the federated La Cala team (currently top of 1º Provincial Femenino 7 Malaga league), although the final score was 'a lot to zero' we clearly learnt a lot, & gained an experienced player (Marroyo).
Previous matches were against Fuengirola, 3-7 home loss with goals from Hartley (2) & Slattery (1), & Bonela 3-1 away loss (after a 140km detour, late KO & no warm up) with a goal from Slattery. Good luck & best wishes to a valued member of the team Megan Holgate who has been with us for over a year, & has now returned to the UK. Click here for league table First Costa del Sol league match played at Campo Suel against Yunquera, sadly a 8-3 loss, with SAS taking a good 15 minutes to get going against the young visitors, but showing real teamwork and effort right to the end, with goals from Slattery, a steamer from Spencer M. from almost the hafway line and the third from Spencer S.
