Under 11s - A terrific game by the 11’s on Saturday against North. Its pleasing to see improvement already especially in footwork andpassing.SophieCdidsometerrificshotsas well as Isla who impressed with some great movement. Ayla having her first go in centre played well. Our two little ones impressed us, Gracie and Zoe both played well in the centre court, backing each other up and leading to space. Kelsey was the intercept queen in GK, likewise for Mackenna. Birthday girl Sophie S had another great defensive game Eliza cleaned up her footwork as the game went on which was fantastic Emily picked up and chased all the loose balls and was able to then get the ball to a team mate. Phoebe again had a great game with some great passing to her team mates. That win is not to far away, lets work hard at trainings and apply what we are learningtoourgame.

Hannah Jackson and Isobel Richards dominated the goal circle, shooting with great accuracy They were feed with some fantastic passing by Mackenzie Fisher and Savannah Riddoch.

In defence Aggie Thomas and Ruby Lamb combined well to force the North players into making errors. Both girls chased down every loose ball with support from Chaneil Cowland in the midcourt. At half time scores were 19-7 up.

A tough game this week and we were unable to match the defensive pressure and physicality of West While there’s plenty to take away and develop, the girls didn’t give up the fight. We worked our way into the game winning the third quarter and breaking even in the fourth. Unfortunately, we were unable to minimise the lead that West created in the first half, going down 28-44. It was great to welcomeHannahFoxintotheteamforher first game this season, she added consistency and energy for us through the mid court.

In totally different weather conditions to the game we played 4 days prior, it took us a little while to settle into the free flowing game we have been working on. Alisha played a fantastic ½ game in the GS position directing the play in and around the ring. Whilst Amanda worked hard to injectherselfintothegameandafterafew changesinthesecondhalfreallystartedto control the midcourt and provide lots of support and direction to the youngsters.
