Our first game of netball on the 23 April was
outstanding. From the outset we
dominated the game giving the opposition very little possession. We were strong both attacking and in defence
as well as our shooters. The children
used the court wisely getting the ball into the shooters quickly and
efficiently. The new players to the team
quickly slotted in and took heed from the more experienced players. Savannah and Maddie were forces to reckon
with in the shooting circle as they were able to find space to have shots at
the goal. A great win of 11-0 to us was
the final score and player of the day was Orion for a great defensive game.
The second game of the session came after a majority of the
team had played in a soccer tournament in the wind and cold. The team versed for netball was Orewa North
Phoenix who stood a head higher than us and had some exceptional players. At first our team got a bit flustered as the
other team dominated the court and play.
They started to adapt and take back control in the second half pulling
back the score to a 9-7 lose. The
player of the day was Matthew Rist who was all over his opponent and gaining
much needed possession of the ball.
