BUTTERFLIES BLURBS – ROUND 2 …. 2nd April 2010
Butterflies U9’s – Modies What a long way our U9 Butterflies have come over the last year! Butterflies U8’s – Modies Despite the sun shining & it being warmish at all of our houses, it still managed to be freezing at the netball courts! After last week’s victory, the girls were keen to do it all again against All Stars. We were much more evenly matched this week as this team had also played modis last year. The Butterflies were kept scoreless in the first third but managed to fight back & go on a goal scoring blitz in the second third. Just how many goals that was, we are not sure as our scorer (who shall remain nameless) was perhaps a little distracted by much chatter on the ' sidelines. The majority agreed that the game finished in a 5-all draw. The girls were wonderful in defence & again their ability to move the ball down the court is improving rapidly. Congratulations to Lily who was the happy recipient of "Girl of the Game" and will hopefully manage to return the trophy in one piece next Saturday. Looking forward to another entertaining encounter this weekend. Well done girls, you’re playing so well and working beautifully as a team. Cath Mc
Saturday’s game showed that all the girls have really honed up their skills and are now fierce competition for any team in the League. Marrickville All Stars gave us a run for our money in the first third of the game with the ball around their goal most of the time. But our strong defence stopped them from capitalising on this and no goals were scored. By the second third we pulled our game together and it became a very even match. All the Butterflies worked together as a team and the chains of passes up and down the court brought gasps of pleasure from the mums & dads on the sidelines. Well done to Ella and Holly for two great goals. Welcome to Sasha, a great asset to the team and Girl of the Game this week. And thanks to Jaci for all her hard work in bringing the girls up to this high standard. This is just the beginning of the season and no doubt we will continue to get better and better as the year continues.
