HIS Girls were missing a few
of their usual combatants and
so had an uphill task. VAS Girls
put on a powerhouse display
throughout this contest and
HIS Girls found it hard to get
out of their own half for much
of the game such was the VAS
dominance. Nguyen Thi Ngoc
Oanh won almost every ball
in midfield and set up Nguyen
Nga and her attacking partner
Truong Thi Ngoc Anh who ran
clever triangular patterns together on the way to combining for some fantastic scores.

Le Nguyen Hong Nhung was
solid as a rock in defence and
Vu Ha Anh had a fine game as goalkeeper. Vu
Cong Ngoc Thu made a lot of good moves roving in the forward line.

For HIS Girls, Karen Takahashi was the MVP
as she ran her heart out and got to just about
every ball she contested. Kaho Sato and Nur
Diyanah Ahmad Zaki were solid throughout.
Jasmine Haifa Zahrah and Roosa Aleksandra
Kuparinen did well in their first competitive
game. Reina Takahashi served HIS well in the
goals in a difficult game making a few great
saves and even scored one of her own when she
went outfield.
