Chelsea F.C. defeated the Wombats in theirthree previous meetings. So this time, the coach ask each kid where they wanted to play (drawing #s from a bag to know who picks first) in the first two quarters, then in the last two quarters, coach will place them on their best positions and see the results later.

Well, the firsthalf ended 2-1 in favor of the Wombats and at the end of the game the final score was 4-2 in favor of Chelsea F.C.Which at the end of the game proved the coach's point in which all the kid nodded their heads up and down when asked if they under understood the importance of a coach in a team.

For Chelsea F.C., Center Forward Alan Sadler scoreda goal from a defenders rebound and assisted Right Forward Erica Godsey on her first goal. Godsey second goal was a beautiful header into the net after a nice assist for a corner kick from sweeper Nikki Gregory. The last goal came from a nice Free kick from outside the box by Defender Melissa Haro who got a nice shot that got pass the right side of the player's wall and curved in to the far post and into the net. Left forward Tim Gregory played great up front; Center mid Alison Belilty played great up the middle along with Michelle Rosalia and Allison Salinger; Amber Braun and Mina Hajjaj played great at goal on each half of the game and helped the defense on the other half. Robert Schlacks and Axel Gonzalez played great on the back lines.
