Bowen Bullets B Div Girls Squad
The Bowen B Division Girls team opened their season with a big bang yesterday, carving out a valuable victory over Queensway Secondary in their opponents' home turf. After going behind to a goal in the first half, the Bullets caused scenes of wild celebration when last year's MVP in the same tournament, Wei Xuan scored the decisive goal to help Bowen to a 3-2 win.
Queensway started the first half frantically, creating several decent opportunities to keep the Bullets' defence busy. But the Bullets still managed to maintain good possession in midfield. Unfortunately for the Bullets, Queensway's persistence was rewarded with a goal in the 20th minute when they earned a free kick outside the box. The goal shook the confidence of the Bullets' defenders who, much to their merit, mustered enough composure to not concede again before the whistle for the interval.
The Bullets Girls came back with a vengeance, scoring an instant equalizer right from the kick-off for the second half. Skipper Humaira shot from just outside the penalty box off a pass from the marauding Wei Xuan. The Bullets' confidence returned. In the 45th minute, striker Caeley weaved past her marker and hit a stiff shot into goal for the Bullets' second goal. However, the lead was short-lived as a few minutes later, the Bullets let their guard down momentarily for a Queensway forward to equalize.
The match was heading for a stalemate until Wei Xuan showed why she was voted MVP the year before. From the middle of the park, Humaira made an incisive defence-splitting pass to Wei Xuan, who made a good run into space to receive the ball and slot it pass the hapless Queensway goalkeeper.
It was a moment of ecstasy for the Girl Bullets who left the pitch in good spirits, after suffering the disapppointment of having their first match against Greenview Secondary postponed due to lightning risk. With a big rival out of the way, the Bullets has now gained an upper hand in the group which also features Zhenghua Secondary School whom the Bullets will meet next Tuesday.
