A great day of netball with 4 out of 5 teams in action

Some fantastic netball today: our young Diamonds played the established Redditch Rubies and lost by just 10 goals 35-45. I hear they played really well: I was umpiring Clubs v Hotshot Hornets at the same time and they had a fabulous game, winning 79-21. Some loopy passes so maybe we need Elaine shouting ‘no overheads’ from the sideline! Nevertheless the team gelled well with a couple of new players. Team Spades played a lovely game against Droitwich Diamonds, winning 68-21. Passing up and down court was controlled and confident with excellent shooting and defending in both Ds. A much better game than their previous one where they struggled in the first quarter. It may have had something to do with doing a good warm up this time! The final game of the day was Hearts v Panthers
1, which was always going to be a tight one, but we won 51-44. Fast pace game with fluidity up and down court and gelling well with a new player on court too! Don’t turn your back on the ball and keep fighting until the end! Well done teams, a great morning of netball xx
