An important victory by our First Grade Women’s team highlighted the weekend’s action, which had spectacular results from the Bulls FC Academy Teams.
The First Grade Women’s team move up to 4th on the ladder after an important win over Football NSW Insitute on Sunday. The match started off strong for the Bulls, with some fantastic chances from Aideen Keane, Amy Chessari and Tamires Souza but it was defender Jessica Seaman who opened the scoring in the 39th minute after a beautiful cross from Aideen Keane allowed Jessica Seaman to tap the ball into the back of the net.
The Bulls had an opportunity to double their lead in the 60th minute, after Avaani Prakash was taken down in the box, awarding the Bulls a penalty. Unfortunately, Avaani Prakash’s penalty kick was saved by Football NSW Institute’s goalkeeper. However, after the penalty save, the goalkeeper from Football NSW Institute shoved Avaani Prakash, resulting in a straight red card and reducing Football NSW Institute to 10 players. This fired up the Bulls to continue their fight. In the 68th minute, the Bulls extended their lead with a fantastic finish from Charlotte Lancaster from outside the box. Aideen Keane sealed the victory for the Bulls in the 86th minute. A beautiful long ball from Isabella Volkanovski allowed Aideen Keane to slot the ball into the back of the net, ending the match with a 3-0 victory for the Bulls.
