It was an exciting win for the girls this week. Theyworkedreallywellasateam,displaying positive attitudes and fantastic teamwork. The girls worked together to link the ball down the court, displaying some seamless passages of play Our defensive pressure was strong, and the girls all worked incrediblyhard.

Best players awarded to Frankie Wakefield and Isla Clark (sponsored by Halloran Diesel) Both girls demonstrated their versatility in attack & defence VanCino encouragement award goes to Payton Bilney Our focus this week was to work together as a team, and the girls did that beautifully

Under13B

We played a tight first half Our defensive pressure all over the court allowed us to disrupt West's play and take some good intercepts. Moving into next week, we need to collectively be more positive towards each other and trusting in our teammates. This will allow us to read off each other, providing leads into open spaces moving down the court, release the ball forward for the receiver to run onto and have some fun. Let'sgogirls!

The girls started strong from the first quarter, and this started from the strong defensiveeffortbyPenny,BellaandZoewho created many turnovers and kept South’s attacking end quiet These wonderful defensive efforts transitioned well to our attacking end where the girls work together to make the most of our opportunities and apply plenty of scoreboard pressure. Lacey fed the ball effectively to Claire who held strong and moved beautifully in goals combining well with Mia. It was another great game by the girls, keep up the good work.

Unfortunately we could not emulate our 2nd round win against West. They got the jump on us and once again we were in catch up mode. With a couple of key outs this week we called upon a couple of our up and comer15sgirlsin,RubyMitchellandMischa Human. Ruby and Justine worked tirelessly indefencetogetheranddidmanagetogeta few good balls. Mischa saw herself on a senior’s court for the very first time and made an impact in the GS position.

A strong and consistent game by our team this week. It was evident that players were putting into practice the key areas we had been working on. Alisha Bryan and Alylcia Pitson were both accurate and connected well with mid court. Riley and Jessie took crucial intercepts and rebounds when we neededtoshiftthemomentumofthegame. Ava worked tirelessly all game, holding up the opposition in their drives, causing a slower game. Cara stood her ground and played her role beautifully making strong leads onto the ring and feeding into the goalers. Unfortunately, we became rattled in the last quarter and saw our 4-goal buffer diminish by our own mistakes. So many positivestotakeawayfromthisgame.

With a clean, well connected first quarter we saw our team go up by 4 in the first quarter We had lots of defensive touches and were able to contest in the circle to capitalise on our turnovers. Our goal was to slowdowntheirentryintowest’sGSwhoisa big target for them. We had to adjust our normal attacking line up to a more zone like defence, which we were able to do in the firstquarter However,afterthaterrorscrept into our game and where we were scoring off turnovers, we found that harder as the gamewenton.
