A slow start saw us going goal for goal with East for the first half of the first quarter Despite some good passages of play, there were also some unforced errors that prevented us from scoring. However, once we had settled, we managed to regroup and the girl’s hard workandfantasticteameffortstartedto create some positive momentum. The intensity and passion from the team continued throughout the game, creating some excellent defensive turnovers and smooth transitions, earning the girls a comfortable lead.

A disappointing game yesterday going down 54-32. We appeared unsettled and made simple errors in the first half which provided East with the momentum of the game. The defensive pressure applied saw us get lost in transitioning the ball from defence to attack Our goalies worked hard in attempt to respond the pressure, providing support up the court and converting on most opportunities. We utilised the speed of Sarah Brown (U17) for a half, it was great to see her work into the game and with more opportunitieswe’resureconfidencewill grow

Our defence again played a pivotal role in the margin only being 4 in the end. A couple if changes saw Ruby Mitchell get on court again and hold her own in GK. Georgia and Ava are starting to find something together and with some extra work that connections with ourmidswillcome.

Well what can I say about this game, it was truly a full team effort with everyone on court contributing to the win. Our timing and movement the ball down court was exactly what we have beenworkinginandthiswaslargelydue to Ava’s drive and back up and Cara’s timing and finding space. Our defence combo of Jessie and Riley is growing stronger week by week and your ability to adjust throughout the game as needed was very pleasing to see. Alisha, Alycia and Amanda are really showing a great understanding of each other’s ability/needs going into and around the attacklineandwerereallypatientinand around the ring, while the goalies including Stella moved and shot with a lotofconfidence.

Well done to Caitlyn Gorman, Marlee Robbins, Renee Gorman, YlanaGriggandChloeKurzmanfor attending the WBNA junior trials f o r t h e S A C o u n t r y Championships.Goodluck girls for theselectionprocess.

LastSaturdaymadeforagreatday out with the perfect autumn weather at Island Park The Casterton-Sandford girls had some tough games against the visitingteaminMillicent,

Juniors:

Olivia, Amelia, Brydie and Caitlyn were keeping up some great pressure across the court in the Under 15A’s, but unfortunately they couldn’t put a stop to Millicent’s fast footwork and ball movement, finishing with a scorelineof7-79.

The Under 15B’s had their work cut out for them with Millicent putting quick and consistent goals on the board throughout the game Caitlyn, Nicole, Ella and Kirby had to work hard to get the ball down to our attacking end to putsomewell-earnedgoalsonthe board for the Cats The girls finishedwithaloss3-81.

Under 13A players took to the court in the first quarter to match Millicent’s attack Marlee and Renee played in the centre court toprovideasteadytransitionfrom the Cats defense to attack, as well as expertly timed and positioned passes into goalies Adele and Brooklyn. It was tough work in the defense with accurate opposition shooters, but Ylana and Zoya made every effort to stop the ball heading into Millicent’s attacking circle.Asthegameprogressedthe polished game played by the Millicent girls saw the margin creep further away from the Cats, leavingourgirlswithaloss13-42.

WhatawellearntwinintheUnder 13B’s last week. The girls demonstrated brilliant teamwork as the ball moved from either end of the court, but it was the intercepts taken and loose balls fought for by Ylana, Renee and Adele that let the Cats girls sneak awayattheendofthelastquarter witha5-goalvictory22-17. Pinelopi, Imogen and Ruby have beenmakingthemostofsomefun and skillful training drills, putting them into play on the weekend. With all the girls improving they put up a great fight against Millicent’s young guns, but unfortunately the scoreline wasn’t in the Cats girls favour, losing6-18.

Seniors:

We had Madalene and Madeline working hard at either end of the court to help the Cats keep possession of the ball against Millicent’s strong defense in the A Grade. The girls finished with a loss20-94.

A Reserve players Paige, Sharna and Phoebe weren’t going to walk away from Saturday’s game without leaving everything on the co u r t T h ey fo u g ht h a rd throughout the game, but it wasn’t quite enough with Millicent stretching the margin to ascore-line54-65byfulltime.

B Grade took home the second win of the day 50-34. Trictia was on fire through the mid court as well as her accuracy in the goal ring, and Kerri made some vital turnovers across the court. With some handy tips at breaks from CoachHaylee,thegirlskeptupthe intensity to finish off the game strong.

Millicent got the jump at the start of the C Grade game, leaving the Cats girls trying to even the scoreline. They couldn’t quite get there losing 14-51. Special mentions to Ebony,Michelle,AmberandKatie.

It was a close game for the Under 17swithafinalscore-lineof42-50. Neitherthe Millicent nor Cats girls wanted to give up easily, but despite the efforts of Chelsea, Madeline and Phoebe Millicent tookhomethewin.

A very chilly start for the girls at Casterton making it a very even match up for the first 2 quarters! Once the girls warmed a little, they had some excellent turn overs in defence and were able to move the ball swiftly through the mid court and were rewarded with some great movement and scoring opportunities in goals! Well done on another great win girls. Best players were Raven Johnson and Lia Joyce and the Subway award went toRaven.

Another great win for the girls. It was a very cold and foggy start for the girls and therefore took us a bit for the girls to wake up. Our full court defensive pressure was great to see and our new attacking combinations were working well to score most turnovers. Still lots to improve on at training but keep working hard girls! Best players were AmarlieThomsonandLucyCrowe.
