Final Score 44 - 26
It was freezing today and everyone of us had several layers on and didn’t rush to peel any off. We all arrived in plenty of time for a good warm up and felt very confident that we were going to win.
The first quarter started well with a 11-6 lead. It started snowing and we were conscious that the game could be called off at any time if we started sliding or slipping about. The second quarter was much the same and we finished at half time leading 19-12. We realised that we were not very fired up on the court and this could have been because we all felt deep down we were winning and didn’t look as though this would change. We made a decision to start encouraging each other and being more narrative on the court. At the end of the third quarter we had extended our lead to 35-20 which was much better. Mangotsfield made a few changes to their positions in the final quarter but it didn’t make too much of a difference to the game and we eventually won 44-26. It was a good friendly game and although we were pulled up for a few faults, we won every tossup - which we practiced at training. Maybe we should have 5 mins each Thursday spent doing these?
I think everyone felt as though they had played quite well and it was good to see Deb facing her nemesis in the goal third and managing to keep her cool –well done Deb.
I got players player this week (I think it was because I was coughing/spluttering and they stayed away from me which meant I looked as though I was always free!!).
Sympathies to Laura who had to score the match after us and was looking like an Eskimo in the snow. The match did start but was called off halfway through the third quarter so she got freezing cold for nothing.
