It was a cold Saturday morning to welcome back Wandsworth C team this Saturday at Shirley. After a good turn out at training and some fitness sprints to blow out the Christmas cobwebs we were geared up for our first game of the season. Following a 4 goal loss to Hillcrest as our very first game of the season together we knew we were much more together as a team and ready to take them on.
We came out confident with some fantastic defensive work in the circle by Dani and Fiona and some textbook play down the court from Bex, Max and Meralise, keeping calm and going for every intercept. We played our game and didn’t concede a goal taking the first quarter 11-0.
The second quarter we really found our rhythm with Imogen and Maddie in the shooting circle, and some great fresh legs in centre court from Anneka more than doubling our score to finish 24-5 before half time.
We agreed we need to all come forward more for the ball in the second half. And continued to show steady play despite Hillcrest shooting circle getting more confident we won the quarter by 1 to finish 35-15. Just 30 seconds before the end Anneka went for yet another fantastic intercept but landed with an ankle injury and despite being very brave couldn’t continue the game.
A man down but with some further changes and Josie moving into WD we continue to come together to take the well deserved win of 51-24!
