Well, what a start to the Winter League for Alcester Queens! 👑
Although we all try to be positive beans, it’s fair to say we were all feeling a tad wobbly going into the game without some players, some players with dodgy ankles, some with rubbish colds & all of us having those first-match butterflies… we perhaps weren’t our most optimistic selves.
BUT WE’RE THE QUEENS 💪🏼🤣✨
And we came out on top… 34-19 🥳
The defence pushed hard to take advantage of the opposition’s errors (shoutout to Lucinda Granger, Beth & especially Jasmine for helping us out today), allowing us to feed back into the centre court and push into the attacking third, where Frankie Woods and Amy-Sue Widman worked tirelessly around that D. There were countless rebounds caught by the shooters, never ceasing to give up, their determination (and not forgetting Elaine’s ‘word of the day’, ‘LIFT!’) allowing us to take the win in each quarter. This would not have been possible without the consistently incredible effort put in by our excellent Captain & Centre, Sophie, rightly so winning her Player of the Match.
Shout out to Antonia, whose naughty ankle got the better of her, but who always puts in her absolute best – you better rest that ankle and be back next week girrrrl!
Another shout out to Imogen for her first ever match with Alcester Queens, who put in her absolute best and found her groove as the game progressed – well done lovely!
Bring on the rest of the season!
AWOOGA! 🥳🖤
