COMET CADETS – WEEK 4
The Comets played a strong Alexanders outfit who were equal
place with us on top of the ladder. We were minus Lia today so Katherine
stepped up to the not so familiar role of GS / GA and played a wonderful game
along side Manny who’s shooting is becoming a lot more consistent.
We were a little off song throwing soft, wayward passes and
turning over cheap possession to the Alexanders who capitalised on our errors.
Rachel and Sahar swapping between Ctr and WA, were working tirelessly to turn
back possession our way, both again having strong games for the Comets. Katherine
(4) / Manny (1) : Q1 Comets 5 – Alexanders 10.
Our defensive trio of Verity, Anna and Melody toiled away
against a well-drilled Alexanders’ attack that possessed a really tall shooter
that rarely missed. Verity and Anna had to jump high for rebounds but maintain
their form to avoid cheap contact penalties. The Alexanders again were rewarded
for soft turnovers and scored 12 goals in the 2nd quarter to our 3
(Manny). At half time Comets 8 – Alexanders 22.
Typical of this team is their “not give up” attitude, they
reduced the number of errors and they kept pushing the Alexanders all around
the court. The Alexanders still managed another 10 goals but had to work hard
for them and our Comets scored 5, Manny 3 / Katherine 2. Q3 Comets 13 – Alexanders 32.
The Alexanders didn’t let our girls play their best netball
however, the last quarter we found some rhythm and scored another 5 goals
(Manny 2 / Katherine 3) whilst Verity (GK) and Anna (GD) kept Alexanders to 8.
Verity and Anna won our team award today for a committed joint defensive effort
so well done ladies.
Sahar was a deserved winner of the MVP award today.
Final Score : Comets 18 – Alexanders 40.
Our thanks to Melody’s mum today for managing the sideline
checks and balances.
