Foxes 2 vs Warriors 2 - W 41-36
POM - Claire
Players Player - Emily
Our first win of the summer season and what an eventful but enjoyable game. As it’s our first win, I wanted to make sure I praise everyone on their performance to recognise their hard work and determination. So apologies for the long report! 🤣
Whilst Izzy was playing for the 1’s tonight, we had a brand new defence with Megan and Teyla moving up permanently to the 2’s, working with Sam in at GK.
We started the first quarter very strong but equally, we were trying to settle ourselves into the game after having a couple of weeks match break and new players.
We started the match strong, ending the 1st quarter with a good lead. The gap closed in the 2nd quarter, with Warriors taking the lead at the end of the 3rd quarter. They certainly picked up the pace! At one stage in the last quarter we were 5 or 6 goals down, but we kept spirits high and our fight going to end the game with a 6 goal win!
Sam was constant on the shooter, using her outside arm and making her opponent work hard for the ball.
Megan was keeping GA away from D, restricting their attacking play. She would fly from nowhere getting tips and some great 2 handed interceptions. Taking a bad fall, Megan had to go off to patch up, but showed great resilience returning back on court.
Teyla kept pressure on the WA and was key supporting the ball flow down the court, enabling attack to settle.
Emily showed another solid performance as C. Driving into space when needed for defensive back lines and working tirelessly to bring the ball down to the attackers and great patience when feeding. A well deserved Players player.
Claire working hard up to defensive line with interception opportunities taken and some saves on sidelines stopping ball from going out of court and placing back into attacking play.
Tilly was creating great space in attacking 3rd, kept moving in the circle but timing the move impeccably to receive the feed. GK was applying pressure with a very tall reach, but Tilly’s confidence continued to build, despite having to take so time out after taking a nasty knock.
We could all feel Chars buzz and energy from the circle, we could feel the want for a win! Amazing movement driving off court and back into play, holding space and fantastic shooting!
I’d also like to thank Libby for stepping in on injuries. Her first senior cap for foxes and showed amazing confidence.
Well done everyone 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
