Arrive Alive Women’s Super League Round 7 Review

In the match at St George Stadium the St George FC and Northern Tigers sides fought out a tough 1-1 draw.

Neither side gave an inch in the first half with plenty of passion being thrown into the match. This was a charity day but there certainly wasn’t anyone giving any charity on the field.

After going to the break locked at 0-0 the two teams came out for more of the same in the second half. A serious injury to Maree Van Der Wielen from Tigers fired the match up somewhat. But, as the dust started to settle, Melissa Toumbelekis opened the scoring for St George in the 73^rd minute.

Time became Northern Tigers worst enemy. As the minutes ticked down it looked as if the home side might get away with all three competition points. But with five minutes remaining on the clock Gabby Dal Pozzo saved the day for the Northern Tigers by snatching an equalizer.

The two teams should be congratulated on a close match but also for their fund raising efforts for breast cancer. A final amount raised is yet to be announced but I hope to be able to inform everyone of that figure in this week’s Round 8 Preview.

The result leaves Northern Tigers in sixth place and St George FC in eighth.
