Aces 34 v 29 BDR Jets
You wouldn’t know this was summer today with the weather but Aces continued with the positive start they have made to the season. Aces came out of the blocks firing in the first quarter. With goals in quick succession from Chloe and Grace, who have continued to work on the circle rotation and range of passes in recent weeks, paid off beautifully today with some brilliant shooting accuracy. Gemma and Isabel at WA and C provided help bringing the ball down into the attacking end and putting some lovely passages of play together with beautiful feeds into the D, allowing Aces to capitalise on possession. Aces continued to battle with BDR throughout the second quarter, carrying our well deserved lead into the second half of the game. Fresh legs and energy was appreciated by all when Sarah came on as C in the second half, which could be seen in Aces continuing to build on the score and strong start to the game in humid conditions. “Tippy Pippy” Pippa had another brilliant game at WD with interceptions and tips throughout, troubling her opposition and winning much needed possession back for Aces. Leah and Katie continued to work beautifully in tandem in defence today, putting pressure on BDR shooters and getting many well deserved tips and rebounds. Aces slowed down their play into the final quarter to maintain possession to keep the game and scoreline within our control allowing Aces to come out on top.
Player today was awarded to Katie and Captain’s player was awarded to Gemma, for showing real grit and determination and working tirelessly throughout, as well as being a positive energy on and off the court.
Well done ladies ❤️🖤
