Review: The U15 C netball team had a convincing win against the Leys. Some of the best teamwork this season was on display, with Annabel Percy playing a key role as centre. The girls took a while to warm up and settle into their positions. Ellen Welsh surprised herself by playing Goal Attack in the first quarter and scoring two goals. Her grasp of the ball was good and she positioned herself well beside the net. Sophia Arthen worked well with her to score another six goals so that after 10 minutes, we were winning 8-1. In the second quarter, the Leys began to fight back but Franca Lienke was everywhere as GD, intercepting their passes and moving the ball out of their D. She should be commended for playing this standard of netball after only seven weeks in the sport. At half time, we were comfortably ahead 11-4. A slight change of defence at half time increased our lead because Georgia Rowe and Genvieve Guest made an impressive pairing in the circle. They exploited free passes and didn't let The Leys get many chances at the net. As the final quarter ran in, our girls fought through the tiredness and kept the passes swift and short. Millie Scarborough played excellently as always at WD and together with Jizi Wu in WA moved the ball up the court to our net. Their jumping to catch the ball meant that the Leys lost a few chances and their spatial awareness contributed to the commendable win, 20-12. The girls have really improved this season and their marking today was so good that they really deserved this win.
