This was a must win game against the bottom of the table Demonettes and, after a great warm up from John, we were ready!
Playing in what felt like sub-zero temperatures, we started the first quarter slowly. It felt like forever before the first goal went in, but once we had warmed up a little and had our heads in the game it started to flow. Tessa, at WD, made some great intercepts picking up loose balls all over the court, cheeky.
The second quarter was very strong. Rachel and Leanne were solid in defense, getting the rebounds and tips left right and centre. We played some great netball bringing the ball down the court textbook style. The feeding into and movement around the circle was sleek and Helen K was up to her usual tricks of “out and in” before scoring some fab goals!
We stepped back on court after half time 19-14 up ready to extend our lead, however this wasn’t our greatest quarter. We continued to make some great interceptions and driving onto the ball, but their tall defense, and love for launching the ball half way down the court got the better of us, the Demonettes managed to bring it back.
Heading into the final quarter only one goal ahead we had to make every centre count. With the attack dropping back to put additional pressure on we managed to make several fantastic turnovers, which saw us steam ahead through some great long-range shots from Steph.
Very well done to Rachel for Players Player and well done to Me for Player of the Match (sorry, not sorry).
