This week the 10/1’s played OLQP Gladesville. It was a freezing start to the day especially as the girls had to have team photos before the game. We managed to get on the court with a few minutes to spare however the Comets were behind from the start today. Too many lobbed passes straight to the sure hands of OLQP saw us end the first quarter down 1/3. Tanisha scored our only goal this quarter.

Although we have practiced our defensive play at training, this definitely let us down today. We need to defend the ball and stick on our players much better than we did this week. Our shooters need to work together in the circle and get the passes away strongly. We were getting opportunities for goals but could not score them in the second quarter whilst OLQP scored another 3. Half time score 6/1 to OLQP.

The third quarter did not improve for Comets and OLQP kept us from scoring while they added another 2 goals to their score. Our Centre passes definitely need to be stronger and more accurate. There was some improvement in the last quarter and we managed to win the quarter 2/0 with 2 goals from Tanisha. As soon as the girls stepped up the defence and removed those weak lobs our game changed. Unfortunately it was too late this week.

This week OLQP won 8/3

Tarsha was awarded the team McDonald’s award for this week, for a good effort all game in WA and C. Our MVP award this week went to Elicia.

Next week we play Villa on Court 2. This will be the last game of the 1st round.

As we missed training last week I would like to train for an extra half hour this week please! See you all Thursday and shooters keep on shooting every day!

Jyothi will be our Captain and can br ing fruit or a treat for after the game.
