COMET CADETS – WEEK 10
The Cadets took the court today against a very spirited YMCA
team who were one player short until half way through the 1st
quarter.
Having missed last week’s opportunity to improve our fore
and against, we spoke pre-game about a solid performance and a good goal count.
We started ok, a little rusty, with a few wayward passes handing back
possession but good defence by all seven Comets on court saw the ball immediately
turned back our way. We went to the break 9 – 1 to us (Lia 6 / Manny 3).
The 2nd quarter we upped the pressure and Lia (9)
and Manny (2) worked well in the circle. Melody, Anna, Katherine and Verity in
defence had strong games with Melody earning a special mention for week-on-week
improvement. All four making it difficult for YMCA’s attack holding them to
only one goal in the 2nd quarter. Half-time Comets 20 – YMCA 2.
Lia came off for a well-earned rest and Manny (8 for Q3),
captaining the team today, took over the majority of goal-shooting opportunities.
Katherine, our super-sub, switched to GS assisted admirably, landing one goal
herself.
Rachel and Sahar swapping between Ctr and WA were work
horses all over the court making loads of intercepts and providing fast
turn-over possession back down court. Both had super games with Sahar voted
MVP. Q3 Comets 29 – YMCA 5.
Full credit to YMCA who never gave up and played the game in
a wonderful spirit. They put 5 goals on us in Q4, doubling their count however,
with Lia back on, we scored another 9 goals (Lia 8 / Manny 1) to win all four
quarters and the game.
Final Score : Comets 38 – YMCA 20. Well done ladies, a good win today.
Thanks to Leisha for again looking after the sidelines.
We are TRAINING this Tuesday but no game next Saturday.
