The Fulham vs Cumberland game is a bit of a surprise result...

what was a 1st vs 2nd contest at the begining of the day turned out to be a very one sided affair.

Cumberland must have gone into the day knowing they were a real chance against an understrength Fulham side, especially after the mid-week addition of Lauren Chilvers to replace her sister.

It was however the Cumberland defence that suffered the most with in-form Sam Gross forced out of the team during the warm-up with a groin strain.
The leadership and "no-holds-bar" approach she brings was sorely missed as Fulham scored some very "soft" goals with the defence constantly being caught out on the wrong side of the attacker and reacting too slowly to air balls and through balls.
MJ and Rachael poved very difficult to handle and consequently scored all the goals in two very clinical displays.

Cumberland can take some heart though in the fact that they did grab 3.
Maybe next time round at Fulham, with some hard lessons learned, Cumberland will turn it round, or will Fulham show themselves to be the dominant force in the league again?

covered with dirt, multiple divets, doesnt hold rain well and turns to slosh with a slight sprinkle of rain. cant play the ball out wide coz it just lands in a massive puddle and goes nowhere.

I dont know about Fulhams numbers this week, I'm not involved with the club...

our reserves only train once and due to working comittments are restricted to low numbers at that one training night a week... injuries are a concern people working all ours of the night (ambulance officers) doesnt help our cause...

so not much of a surprise if they lose on sundays - they play their hearts out and we find it funny when people say "awesome we beat fulham, we're soo good" coz technically they are playing against a second if not third rate side...

our prems are indeed leading the pack, with an unfortunate loss to city who played awesome against us. hopefully we can keep the win/loss ratio up this season and take the league home with us for i think a 4th time!!

i wouldnt say fulhams goals were soft - no goal is soft when ur playing in cold and wet conditions.. we had two of our strongest players out this week being gianna and lee, also having a few girls with injuries but still playing - i thought we did awesome considering..!

our supporters are hott by the way (some girl in a grey jumpa and anutha in a white jacket = hott!)

Everyone has that problem, for example Im a nurse and work all hours and still play on sunday.... its not only fulham.... we got another girl in our team that works all hours in a 24hr call centre.... heaps of the others can barely make it to one training session also because they work in retail and whatnot after school and uni.

im not playing this season because i work all sorts of stupid hrs including weeknights and sunday arvos... not really under my control

Im not here to have a go at anyone, I was just joining in the conversation..... work commitments are a problem ALL teams have to face..... I dont care if they were just asking about Fulham.... my point is that all teams have to face this issue and its a shame that employers arent more supportive.

shorty · Post by **shorty** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 7:32 pm

mate i never said that ONLY fulham face that problem of having to work for a living........

Smiley · Post by **Smiley** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 7:43 pm

why are you so defensive?? I havent gone out and dissed you..... calm down

shorty · Post by **shorty** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 8:09 pm

yeah i know ur not having a go, sorry if it comes across as being defensive...
even if our players didnt have work committments we would still be struggling for players for both the prems and reserves as there are not many girls around that are looking to play...

altho if there are any girls that are looking at playing check out the website HAHA (cough cough *gubs, cj!!*)

The question was asked about Fulham. Reason; Because it is unusual that the team top in Prems would forfeit a reserves game. Shorty has answered as to the situation at Fulham. She did not say anything about other clubs or generalise. Put Fulham's situation only.

Nope

gubs · Post by **gubs** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 5:15 pm

No. Gee I hate to say it but because of work I can only play one weekend out of three. This wasn't a good enough committment to warrant me to be selfish enough to continue to play premier league. I cannot join another club as the clubs I would look at going to already have 3 SASI players and as I am still considered a SASI player I have to sit out the season

Dr.D · Post by **Dr.D** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 12:45 pm

Adelaide Cougars are western suburbs, Div 1 club, looking for a keeper who's a keeper, and would take you 1 week out of 3!!

They already have a copper playing for them, and she can only play 4 games out of every 6, so that wouldn't be a prob....

shorty · Post by **shorty** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 2:26 pm

shut up adam

- im not a proper keeper - but due to my foot i cant play at 100% on the field...but when gubs plays next year unless she wants to play sweeper il be back on the pitch!!!

but i did like the shots, quite perfectionate i wld have to say!!!

courtz · Post by **courtz** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 4:00 pm

shorty i wld be dissapointed if u stopped playing in goals tbh... i like u there! considering you havent had any proper keeper trainin ur fkn brilliant!
