Week 1: Met League

Buzzing for the start of the new season, the B’s got off to a decent start to the game, keeping the lead for the majority of the first half. New recruit Olivia worked well with Dani in the defensive circle, getting lots of interceptions and allowing us to turn over the play. Fairlands showed their experience and toward the end of the first Q started to come back into the game, narrowing our lead 8-6.

Holly came on into WD in the second quarter, giving us a boost of energy down through the centre court. Our versatility, speed and skill in the centre court was plain to see, with Nicki, Zoe and Holly working the play effortlessly into our attack. Despite this we lost the Q, going into half time with a narrow 1 goal lead.

Its fair to say we lost our heads at times during the third Q, unforced errors and some tough umpiring calls on contact and footwork definitely rattled us. Fairlands capitalised on this and extended their lead by 4, 29-33. Despite this we had some lovely play, and came back into our own, toward the end of the quarter. Georgie (fuelled by Lucozade) provided the speed and accuracy required to penetrate the fairlands defence, New shooter Amy showed real skill, sinking some long distance shots.

The whole team grafted hard in the final Q, unfortunately it wasn’t enough to take the win, We lost 41-49. Inconsistency was our main flaw, while we showed some flair and excellent game play at times, we didn’t sustain this throughout the game. However, it was a good contest, which has shown us what we need to work on going into the next game. Communication, discipline and accuracy shooting/ passing, certainly things to work on this week.
