Match Report:

The girls seemed to be very nervous about this match before we started, Oundle are always strong and we knew it would be a hard match. We started off well and won the first quarter by playing good quality netball, passing the ball around and plenty of movement around the court. Oundle started off the second quarter much more aggressive and this caught us slightly off guard. We were struggling to get the ball to our shooters and they were allowed too much space in our defending quarter.

The girls were very down at half time and they let this affect how they played at times. The final quarter was much more promising and again we won this. We played netball like we had started the game and the girls started to look much more confident. It was a much more positive way to end the match and the girls should be pleased with how they played towards the end.LJB
