Netball vs Ardingly

U16b

The U16Bs travelled to Ardingly this Saturday. The girls were in high spirits and started the game strongly, leading by 7-3. Liv worked tirelessly in the centre, forcing a number of turnovers. As Ardingly applied more pressure in the second quarter, our reliable shooters, Captain Lucy and Alice, did not disappoint. Elodie, Liv, and Gabby were the engine room of the team, with constant motivation and a high work-rate, which pulled the team forwards. As the game went on, Ardingly kept applying the pressure, but Maddie and Solari held firm, forcing a number of errors. Roedean won 29-21, with Girl of the Game again going to captain, Lucy. Coaches' Player went to Liv for her work-rate and feeding of the circle.

U14c

It was a beautiful sunny morning for netball, with a chill in the air but barely a lick of wind. The U14Cs got off to a great start, with Peony and Jemima working well in the circle together, and scoring 9 goals between them by the end of the first quarter. Mimi and Chloe did a great job of disrupting play down the defensive end, with lots of interceptions and tips. Farwa at WD was linking the defence and attack together well. It was 9-2 at the end of the first quarter. They continued this great form into the second quarter, with Izzy and Darcy moving the ball beautifully through the mid-court, Darcey was great at putting pressure on her player and tipping the ball. Izzy getting into space and always being an option. The score was 14-5 to us by the end of the second. In the third quarter, Ardingly started putting more pressure on and their brilliant GD was intercepting everything. They were making it hard for us but we were still managing to sink the goals, 22-5 by the end of the third. Ardingly didn't give up and made it even harder in the last quarter, they scored 4 more goals and managed to stop us form scoring many more, hats off to them for their stamina. The girls played really well as a team, some lovely linking play and everybody really wanting the ball at all times and fighting for it. Well done to Darcy for player of the match. Coaches' Player went to Izzy for doing lovely drives, always marking hard and turning the ball over frequently.

Well done to Anya, who dominated the shooting circle, Guoer was brilliant through the mid-court, and Lyla was superb in defence.

This was an impressive effort from every player who took to the court –well done!! The final score was 22-2 to Roedean.

U18a

Roedean U18As had a tough match against Ardingly. However, there were moments of brilliance from Roedean and their resilience in the face of playing an extremely strong Ardingly team was commendable. The girls were also very flexible in trying different combinations and it was a useful learning opportunity for us. We had a particularly good 3rd quarter and only conceded 5 goals, with everyone putting the pressure on when defending and disrupting their play. They continued this through to the 4th quarter, where we only conceded 8 goals. We also had our most successful quarter in the final quarter and scored 4 goals. I was impressed with how the girls put their full effort in right to the end and never gave up. There were lots of interceptions and tips from Lila, Sylva, and Erin. Amelia, Phoebe, and Izzy worked super hard in the centre third, trying to get through what felt like an impenetrable Ardingly defence. Millie and Flo put up a good fight against their towering defence. It was a true test of endurance for all of them; trying to keep up with Ardingly. Well done to Amelia for Player of the Match – she never stopped! Lila received Coaches' Player for her excellent defending.

U18b

The U18B team played against Ardingly on Thursday. Lea, Erin, and Emma made some exceptional interceptions in defence, and Kaia and Emma worked hard to take the ball up the court.

Ruby, Tammy, and Sabrina shared the shooting bibs, and Tammy was nominated Player of the Match by the opposition. A huge well done goes to the whole team, who, despite losing, never gave up and gave 100% throughout the game.

Emma was also nominated as Player of the Match, and captained the team well.
