Red & White

No Ella. No Brooke. No worries. C Grade’s Chelsea Dunn and Alannah Clayton, who teamed in the 17 & Under team last year in the defensive circle, teamed up at the other end of the court in goals and while there were some blooper moments, the pair got the job done. Not to say Brooke (& Ella if she can!!!) aren’t more thanwelcomebacktotakeonthe shootingresponsibilities.

It saw Mel and Jess combine in defence and both played one of their best games for the season creating plenty of turnover ball, while Jade, who always provides plenty of moments of levity, was also instrumental in winning the ballback.

Misty ran hard through the middle and combined well with Ash, feeding the ball with precision to their young shooters and it was a good win over the Cats.

On a more serious note, Ella will b e m i s s e d a n d we h ave everything crossed that her work placement in Adelaide won’t totally preclude her from returning at some stage to be partoftheteamagain.

The B Grade had a come from behind draw with their rivals the Cats, in what was a tight, tough encounter that was goal for goal formuchofthecontest.

Both Kaitlyn and Tara did some good work on the Cats tall shooter, while Maca was Maca andnotjustimportantinwinning the ball back but also as a link playerthroughthemiddle.

Shelby’s return saw her take the goal defence bib and she worked overtime to reduce the influence of evergreen Trictia Cleary, while Jassy and Hannah ran hard through the mid court with Tara also having an impact when she movedintothecentre.

Sam and Mel again had to contend with some tight checking defending but they worked hard to find space and showed great composure in the last few minutes when the girls worked their way back to shar thepoints.

This group of Amber, Grace, Kadie, Macie, Sophie, Layla and skipper Lily have shown great resilience, trying a number of positions and also helping out the15&underAteamandunder Misty’s guidance are improving each week, applying better defensive pressure and also lookingaftertheballbetter

Was a tough game against a strong west side. We started off slow and we couldn’t peg back the score line. We had some fantastic passages of play during the game. Our defence worked extremely well together to get lots of hands to ball but unfortunately our mistakes let us down and we couldn’t concert them to goals. Let’s keep training hard and the next win is just aroundthecorner Proudofthegirls.

Great game today by the whole team. Patience and persistence has paid off to see you get a very well deserved win.

Defence worked hard for the full 4 quarters to create needed turnovers. Mid-courtrantheballwellforthefull4 quarters playing our game and making correct choices for passes Goalies were accurate and made the most of everyopportunitytoscore.

All team members adapted to the many changes required while having a fullteam.

Overall, any extremely great team effort and I am very proud of each and everyoneofyou.
