Canberra United win away: United 1 Victory 0
Canberra United recorded their second win, and second away win of their campaign to move into the top four of the W-League after 4 games.
A goal from Sasha McDonnell sealed the win. But Melbourne Victory had a penalty claim turned down, Robbie Hooker said we should have scored more, (heard that before) and Grace Gill had a goal chalked off for offside.
I wasn't there, but a report is here http://www.a-league.com.au/default.aspx?s=wleague_newsdisplay&id=24875
And this week we're home to Adelaide United. 4pm Saturday.
It's on the telly, so wear your green, get to Fortress McKellar early, it's going to be a bigger crowd than the first game.
Canberran Steph Tokich is back for Adelaide United.
But the Canberra team will be desperate for a win and we're going to cheer them home in front of a National TV Audience.
And some guys are working on setting up a football forum for Canberra football, to garner W-Leage and A-League support.
And given the number of responses to W-League games on this blog, we need a forum where football fans can discuss the game at all levels in Canberra.
I'll keep you posted as soon as it's organised.
For now you'll have to do with me....Go United....

Hi Eamonn, Adrian Ch. here.
I heard that we were very fast and tough early and had MV on the ropes for most of the first half. MV came back stronger in the second, defensive errors of coughing up corners against a side that was physcally bigger and way taller put the keeper under a lot of pressure.
Well done girls, melbourne coach gives the impression we weren't that good just really rough.
haha, I laughed out loud at that comment! If anything it was Melbourne that were rougher. They had players way taller and physically bigger than Canberra, there is no way even if Canberra tried they could have been rougher! It was a very good game. Best W-League game, technically, I have seen so far.
I wasn't at the game and reports that have been filtering back show that the MV loss to our CU girls must have really hurt them. I beleive even one of the coaching staff stooped so low as to sledge the CU players on the feild. Nice one guys. The CU girls are finally starting to come together. Looking forward to a great game this weekend at home, big crowds, vocal support and a brillant game.
Well done CU girls. Love to hear how the game went from any one who was there.
Hope we have an enormous crowd this weekend.
Do we have any injuries?
