Match Report:

This was an exciting game to watch as the teams were so evenly matched. Repton made a strong start, with a confident Centre pass and thanks to some accurate passing were up 4- 2 by the second quarter. Caitlin Brooks controlled the game effectively as Centre and set up several opportunities for shots at goal. We were hungry for the ball and the conclusion of the second quarter saw us maintaing the lead 5-2.

However, as the match progressed we struggled to maintain possession of the ball and some accurate shooting from the opposition meant that they had levelled by the time the whistle blew to end the third quarter. I was delighted that the girls acted upon everything they had been practising during training and that they worked so hard to intercept the opposition's passess. However, in the final quarter we did not make the most of every opportunity to shoot and despite some excellent defending from A. Findlay and Momoko Otsuka we were unable to respond to the energy and determination of the opposition to win the match. However, this was some of the best netball the girls have played this term and they can be proud of just how much they have improved.
