In an eagerly awaited semi-final match of the National Inter-Schools C Division Girls Tournament at the Jalan Besar Stadium this afternoon, Bowen Secondary bulldozed past a hapless Woodlands Secondary team 9-0 to confirm their invincibility in the competition. The girls from the west were completely outclassed by the strength, speed and guile of the Bowen Bullets who have yet to concede a single goal in the competition. In fact, they could become the first team in the history of the girls competition to keep a clean sheet throughout the whole season if they shut out their final opponents next week.
The Bullets exerted so much domination on the game that Bowen goalkeeper Crystal Ong did not have a single touch of the ball. Right from the kick-off, the Bullets created havoc in the Woodland’s half and midfielder Nur Faradila took just 3 minutes to open the floodgates, shooting into an empty net from 20m out off a nervous Woodlands clearance. 3 minutes later, the Woodlands goalkeeper was hacked down by her own defender while attempting to come out for a high ball and then collided with another onrushing defender. Bullets skipper Sasi exploited the chaotic situation to blast the ball in for the second goal. It was one-way traffic after that as Sasi completed her hat trick just before half time.
With a 4-0 scoreline, the Bullets did not rest on their laurels. Instead they went out for more blood in the second half. A corner from the right by Sasi in the 23rd min found striker Natasha unmarked in the penalty box and she coolly volleyed home for 5-0. As the Woodlands’ resistance melted away in the heat, the ruthless Sasi added 3 more goals before Bullet substitute Ong Yan Ling scored the final goal of the match in the last minute. Her left-footed free kick from 25m out whizzed through the goalkeeper’s grasp into goal.
In an earlier semi-final match, Queensway Secondary School defeated Whitely Secondary School to earn the right to face the Bullets in the final. However, judging from how the Bullets have destroyed their opponents so far, the girls from Queensway who lost their group match against Bowen 0-4, will not be looking forward to face the Bullets’ wrath again.
