An exciting game played in the best netballing spirit by both teams. In the first half in both circles we played with flair. Georgia G sinking shots from everywhere in the circle and Claire making clean interceptions consistently. At our centre pass Beth was outstanding in her movement and frequently secured possession for us at the set piece. However, we gave away possession too often in court play to a well-drllled Tegate side and at half time we were down by about 5 goals.
We started the second half a bit shakily despite a new resolve to keep possession and gradually our mid-court play steadied and we started to pull back the deficit with solid perfomances from our mid-court five. Towards the end of the game we played consistently well overtaking Tegate and extending our lead to three goals. Inevitably they came back, but we held our nerve and went on to win by one goal. A great team effort.
My player of the match: Georgia G for consistent play around the circle and quality shooting.
