Haileybury

1st VII
Lost 38-32
From the moment the whistle went, it was evident that this game was going to be a highly contested one. Despite Felsted falling behind in the first half, the players never stopped fighting in the battle to win the match and they staged a 3rd quarter come-back, tightening the goal difference. At the end of the third quarter it looked as though Felsted were going to turn things around; our defence were making some great intercepts, our attack were moving the ball quickly and accurately down the court and feeding some effortless balls into the circle and, our shooters were putting shots up from all over the D. Unfortunately, in the 4th quarter some 50:50 chances didn’t quite go our way. Sadly this resulted in us not quite catching the Haileybury score and we lost by 4 goals. This game was a very passionate performance and the girls should take pride in how they fought hard in the second half to win that section and close the gap. Things look promising for games ahead. Player of the match voted by Haileybury was given to Tamara Evans.

2nd VII
Lost 21-16
The girls played with determination throughout the game. Tabatha and Caitlin fought to gain good positions in the circle and shot well, despite the wind. However, the opposition were strong and much of the game was played in the defending third. Rachel and Isabella were resilient in making it difficult for the opposition shooters to gain position to shoot. The final score was 21 - 16. The first loss for the girls this season. Well done to Tabatha who was playing for the 2nds this week and gained player of the match.

The thirds played a strong Haileybury side today.  The first quarter was equally matched by both sides but Haileybury's momentum developed and they ran away with the score winning 31-8. Player of the match was Sophie Cuthbert, who played with undeterred enthusiasm.
