The first quarter saw Diamonds go in strong with some slick passing and some insane intercepts from the Q1 defence: Georgina, Edie and Freya. There was also some great work around the ‘D’ from the centre court players, Eliza and Chiara with the score for this quarter being 14-4 to Diamonds.
Q2 was end-to-end with the teams drawing with 8 goals each. The defence from Swans was tight which made the entire team work the ball around, and wait for the right pass to be made. Diamonds still showed some great skills and some swooping interceptions, especially from Georgina who was awarded coaches player!
Q3 the motivation and determination within the team picked up which resulted in a higher scoring quarter of 9-6 to Diamonds. There was some fantastic feeds from the centre court players into the ‘D’ which allowed the shooters Katie & Chloe to score great goals. Diamonds defence was tight and forced some errors from the opposition, which enabled the Diamonds to secure their goals. Due to Diamonds initially only having 7 players, we welcomed back Lydia who proved that she has definitely not lost any skill while being away from the team and it was lovely to have her back!
Q4 was a high scoring quarter with Diamonds scoring 19 goals, to Swans 6. This was by far the best team performance of the game, with there being endless interceptions, slick passing throughout, and some excellent goals from the shooters. Again, the movement around the ‘D’ was patient and efficient with some great feeds from the WA and C.
As a result of her speed, beautiful passing and incredible interceptions player of the match went to Chiara!!
Well done girls 🙂
Final score : 50-24 to Diamonds ♦️
