Saturday 23rd February
Result: Lost 13-11
This was a tightly fought contest as the Felsted girls
played with maximum effort throughout the match. We began well, with five goals
in the first quarter compared to their two. Giselle Bacheta was on fine form as
Goal Shooter and practically scored every goal she shot. Paula Marco
Santesteban was brilliant as Centre, as she had a huge desire to win and
therefore was active in every part of the court. By half time, the score was
7-6 to Kimbolton. In the second half, Hannah A’Violet and Alix Halfide have to
be especially praised for their strong defensive play. Alix was extremely adept
at watching the movement of the play and providing key link passes back to our
circle. For this, she won a well-deserved Lady of the Match. By the third
quarter, we were drawing, as Kimbolton improved throughout the match. It came
down to the last ten minutes. Some lovely spatial play was evident with a
strong partnership between Katya Chattwell and Paula but unfortunately
Kimbolton managed to take the lead with two last minute goals. It was a delight
to watch the girls work so well as a team and produce some superb play on
court.
