U14 B v Culford



Saturday 9th March
Result: Won 40-0
The U14 girls played an outstanding match against Culford winning 40-0 and the player of the match was awarded to Hannah Barratt for some superb play down the side of the court.  Well done to all the girls for playing their absolute best and to Miss Speight for exellent motivation; we are one step closer to the meal Miss Speight promised us if we could have an undefeated season!

3rd VII v Culford



Saturday 9th March 2013
Result: Won 30-21
Saturday 9th March saw the girls play away against Culford in some very wet and rainy conditions. The girls began the first half in a very equal battle against Culford, with both shooters (Suzie Burton and Gabby Doughty) getting many of their shots in, enabling it to end in a draw. The second quarter saw Culford play a strong game, with girls needing to improve on their defence throughout all positions on court, although the girls kept up the determination. The third quarter allowed the girls to raise the pace of the game and the defensiveness around the court created an entirely new game; this encouraged the girls to work harder and fight more for a successful win. Finally, with Felsted maintaining a strong lead in terms of goals and play some impressive passes across the court, the fourth and final quarter saw Felsted beat Culford 30-21. Well done to all of the girls who took part, player-of-the-match to Lucy Muir.

U14 B v The Perse



Saturday 3rd March 
Result: Won 32-0
The team played the best they have ever played and are still unbeaten, winning with the score of 32-0. Miss Speight set us the target of not allowing the opposition to concede one goal so the final few minutes were tense as their Goal Shooter aimed a shot at the net! We also trialled some new numbered centre passes which worked fantastically!

Well done to all the girls and to Lily Hagan for being awarded player of the match. We thoroughly enjoyed having some support from the parents too.

U15 A The Perse



Result: 35-4
The winning streak continued through the week, as the U15 As faced The Perse at home on Saturday. A strong start set the girls on the right path as the first quarter finished 11-1. Tight marking in the defence and strong, direct attack allowed lots of feeding into the D and the shooters worked hard to increase the goal difference. A slight dip in enthusiasm and energy prevented the girls from creeping into the 40s, which is more that achievable for this team and gives us a new target for our next few matches!

3rd VII v The Perse



Saturday 2nd March
Result: Won 22-11
The girls began the first half with a strong start, playing some excellent defence and passing the ball gracefully around the court into the two shooters, Alex and Suzie, enabling them to win the quarter. The second quarter saw a much more balanced game between the two sides, although the girls kept up the determinism to keep the opposition from having any shots. The third quarter saw the pace of the game increase- with The Perse changing nearly all of their players around creating an entirely new game, this encouraged the girls to work harder and fight more for a successful win. Finally, with Felsted still managing to keep up the motivation, and play some impressive passes across the court, the fourth and final quarter saw Felsted beat The Perse. Well done to all of the girls who took part, man-of-the-match to Lucy Muir.
