Today saw in our first match of the season. Great to be back at the Grange.
It was nice and bright but after our warm up, some of us were already feeling a little puffed! A sure sign of upping the fitness levels.
We played Natwest who were down in our division from div 8. The first quarter was eventful-the very tall GK was knocked out by her own team mate in a clash and had to leave the game. We were trailing 5-4 when the whistle blew.
The 2nd quarter we played a much better game and took the lead 15-8.
We talked at half time and all agreed we were bunching up too much and not driving forward as much as we should. By the end of the 3rd quarter, our lead had increased to 25-13. We were very positive by then and went on to win 34-24. A great start to the season to get us on the score sheet with a win. The game had some really good moments of play and great team work so this could be something to concentrate on at training. If anyone feels we could benefit from certain areas of practise – ie back line passes, centre passes, dodging-anything, then feel free to say at training and we can work on any weaknesses.
Thanks to Anna who stepped in for Emma S at the last minute and fitted in really well. Also thanks to Sally H who was meant to be helping her parents move house but came along to play and got nominated players player. Well done!
