WOMEN LOSE SPIRITED BATTLE TO POCOMO 

November 23, 2002

Bayside Sharks 0 Pocomo 12 at Halftime

The Bayside women lost a spirited battle with their rivals from Pocomo on Saturday. 

We were behind 12-0 at halftime, but a spirited assault by the forwards in the second half saw us control the ball for fifteen minutes and score two tries. then with the game swinging in our favour the starting ref left to fix a lost contact. with the replacement ref (from Pocomo by the way) in it stemmed the tide and put the momentum back in Pocomo' favor. when the real ref came back, it was too late, the damage had been done. we went from knocking on their doorstep to having a try scored on us. they put one more in in injury time to put the game out of reach. this is our last match before the Christmas break. when we come back we play Seattle February 1 at home for a make-up game from last week that couldn't be played.

Scorers: Michelle Turko and Kat Pratsides

Player of the Match:Paige Armstrong
