The girls’ team from ABC’s and Rice proved they were every match for the boys when they notched up their first win of the season against SHCC Greens in Division 2 of the Globalteer 15’s and under Siem Reap Junior soccer league.
 
It was a tough game from start to finish with the ABC’s goalie and defence under constant pressure from a determined SHCC Greens Team. But a late counter attack from ABC’s saw the game’s only goal and delivered an impressive 1-0 victory for the much improved girls’ team. They move off the bottom of the table with four points.
 
The girls were not so lucky in their second game, against an in form team from Together for Cambodia, who won 2-0. Together for Cambodia’s other game against White Doves resulted in a 1-1 draw, but gave them a solid four points on the day, putting them in third place on 10 points.
 
Stepping Stones remain at the Top of the Division 2 table, despite losing their season’s 100% winning record with a 0-0 draw against SHCC Greens. They finished the week on 16 points, five points clear of second placed White Doves.
 
In Division 1 Grace House scored an impressive win over leaders SHCC in a five goal thriller.
 
Grace House took the lead from a free kick early on, only for SHCC to grab an equaliser seconds before the half time whistle. SHCC scored again in the first minute of the second half but Grace House produced some excellent passing moves to score 2 goals of their own in quick succession. With some brilliant attacking football, both teams then went on to have shots that hit the post and the Grace House goalie produced two great saves to preserve the win for Grace House.
 
Grace House and SHCC finished the day in joint first position on 13 points each.
