Rockets
The Rockets were up against the Orewa North Year 6 boys this week so had been working on their bounce passing skills in preparation. The teams were fairly evenly matched and there was some good play from both sides, including some fast breaks. However, at half-time, the Rockets were down and had to reassess their defence strategy. The second half saw a much stronger defensive game from our team, with tight marking and better use of positional play. It was a technical win for the Rockets and with some great play, it was difficult to choose a Player of the Day so for the first time, there were two outstanding players - Joshua Hill for his excellent marking of the opposition in the second half; and Maddie Rist, whose passing and reading of the court made a big impression on the game.
