Two weeks to catch up on yet again!
It’s been a bit of a mixed couple of weeks for our teams, with more losses than wins, but plenty of effort, determination and some highlights along the way.
💙 Maldon Sapphires 💙
Sapphires took on Amica in what we knew would be a tough match, going down 36–49. The team battled hard while juggling a few injuries, so a big well done to everyone who played. The best news of the night was Sarah’s return, and she ended up playing a full game and it was like she had never been away! 👏💪
💎 Maldon Diamonds💎
A fabulous win for Diamonds against Brookshaw Jade, taking it 28–24! 🎉 Well done to Nicky for POM and Ruby for Diamond for a great game.
They followed this up with a tough game against Phoenix Fire, losing 32–19. Still a good effort from the team, and well done to Ruby for taking POM⭐
🤍 Maldon Pearls 🤍
First up, Pearls faced Forme Athena, losing 26–21. Hollie was deservedly named POM for flying around the court! 🏃♀️ The team won the final quarter and tried really hard to turn things around, but sadly it wasn’t quite enough. This was also Steph’s last game with us. 💔
Next came Great Dunmow Griffins, with Pearls going down 41–17. Well done to Nikola for POM and Jess for Diamond! 💎 A good effort against a strong team, and we know the Pearls will come back fighting after half term.
The Pearls spirit was still very much alive on Monday, though, as the team swapped training for tactical discussions over a beverage 🍻 Sometimes a little team bonding is just what’s needed.
👋 **A Sad Goodbye to Steph**
October also saw us say a sad goodbye to Steph. We will miss her lots. Word has it she’ll be back for the Christmas party. We grabbed a quick photo to mark the sad last night with a slice of quiche. Nice to see Jess put on a hat and sunnies for the occasion.
Well done to all our players over the last couple of weeks. Through the wins, losses, injuries and tough matches, the effort and team spirit are still there!
We'll be back ready to go again soon after a little break!
