Match Report:

This was a mixture of Under 14 and Under 15 players working together for the first time. Jasmine and Vasalisa Kozhukhova had played very little netball before but they are good, athletic games' players and they really rose to the occasion in the middle of the court, supported ably by Haidee Hunt. In defence Lizzie Brighouse, Katie Dixon and Katie Driver managed to do well against two really strong Rugby shooters. Our shooters, Ellie Brown and Olivia Ashton, never stopped trying but found it difficult to convert chances. All in all it was a great standard of netball for an E team match and we had more of the play than the final score indicated. I was proud that the last quarter was 2 - 2, a real testament to how the girls persevered and were beginning to link together effectively. CJJ
