Having played this team before the D's were expecting a tough game, but after a good mid-week training, we stepped onto court with determination to win. The first quarter was fairly evenly matched as both teams settled into play, but we knew that by talking more to make sure we weren't in the same spaces, and to avoid silly errors, we'd be able to make up the 5 goal deficit in the next quarter.

Fran proved her versatility in centre court, and alongside Lauren there were some great interceptions, however no mistakes were left unnoticed, so we struggled to bring the ball into the circle and Roundwood were able to further their lead to 20-29.

The opposition's confident shooting throughout the game was undeterred, so the second half continued in the same manner. Nonetheless, as they tired they (finally!) began to force more errors and we were able to utilises these lapses with our maintained high energy, converting multiple turnovers with some incredible shooting from Hannah anywhere in the circle! Despite a great team effort and drive leading us to win the last quarter, we were unable to close the 6 goal gap, but we left the court even more determined for a win next week! Big thanks to Rachel for helping out against their formidable shooting!
