Rockets - 4 April 2016

Rockets
The Rockets have been extremely busy over the last couple of weeks. First they played Orewa North, an experienced team with some very tall players. Undaunted, our Rockets battled bravely and, in the second half, they started to hit their stride, making good use of bounce passes to move the ball forward. Although they did not win on points, it was a technical win for the Rockets. Our Player of the Day was Charlotte Sancto-Jones for some super defence work, blocking the opposition from getting near the ball on her runs down the court.
The next match on Easter Tuesday was against the All Stars and was a real end-to-end battle, with the Rockets winning many of the tussles and leading for the majority of the game. However, with a couple of fast breaks, the All Stars managed to draw level and the match finished with the score equal at 8:8. Annie Duncan was Player of the Day for her tenacious defence, accurate forward passes and some fast, attacking runs
