So tragedy struck this morning after Suzanne’s appetite got the best of her and she came down with food poisoning 😬 this was after Jo had already broken her toe and told us the night before that she couldn’t play AND the Bennett’s also are wild camping in dirty underwear apparently meaning they were already out this week, so for a scary minute there we only had six players…
but amazingly, Jasmine from Queens saved the day and stayed after her game to play for us (thank you thank you thank you!) and honestly, it was a cracking game.
We started playing having turned over the opposition’s first centre pass and it just went up from there. Some of us were out of position – shout out to Emily who was fab as a WA, but you wouldn’t have been able to tell and we finished the first quarter 11 goals ahead.
To be honest, I was worried we might have slightly overexerted ourselves in the first quarter, and we wouldn’t have been able to maintain this lead throughout but it definitely gave us a good head start. As the game continued, we did manage to slow it down and the opposition had a really good second quarter. However, given our lead from earlier in the game, we were still 12 ahead going into the second half.
We kept our pace in the second half and Jodie and Jeanette were on fire with their shooting. We kept control well (Sarah’s feedback), had some great interceptions from Defence and only started making some silly sloppy mistakes towards the end but I think we knew it’s because we had it in the bag!
Jeanette won player which was thoroughly deserved, and she even escaped from wearing the new player’s hat which I can only assume Amelia has taken with her for the camping trip to Sweden! Well done Jeannette! And thank you again to Jasmine for playing a whole game for us as GD after playing a whole game for Queens – we literally couldn’t have done today or got this result without you!
Well done everyone!!!
