Another tough game lay in wait for the
Falcons last week as they faced opponents Dairy Flat Vipers. Already two
players down before the match began, it was further misfortune when Raphael
injured his foot and was unable to start the game. Rocket team member,
Charlotte, stepped in to take his place and determined passing play saw the
Falcons keep pace with the Vipers throughout the first half of the game. However,
despite some excellent teamwork from the Falcons, the Vipers managed to pull
ahead in the second half to win. It was pleasing to see that each Wentworth
player improved his or her game this week. Mattias and Maddie were strong in
defense; Savannah was back on scoring form and Brodie was determined and
energetic throughout the game. The
Player of the Day award went to Charlotte Sancto-Jones, not only for her
relentless pursuit of the ball but also for her ability to find space to take a
shot at the hoop!
