Queens faced a fit, physical Hotshots team and triumphantly took the win 19-17.
Defence was on fire throughout with Leanne, Beth and Lucinda flying across the court and reaching and winning so many interceptions out of nowhere! Tight marking and great pressure in the D made for some brilliant turnovers and won back many balls from the opposition’s C pass.
Tactical centre passes from Soph hindered the opposition, allowing defence players to drive forwards into the attacking centre third and bring the ball down the court. Frankie, Gem and Deb’s work rates to move towards the attacking D forced Hotshot’s defence backwards and opened up for amazing shooting from Hayley, Gem and Frankie.
Overall an amazing game with the team really coming together and supporting each other and playing a fast, but calm match to everyone’s strengths.
Player’s player went to Gemma for being the most versatile member of our squad, winning interceptions, super quick centre court work AND amazing shooting.
Captain’s player went to Leanne for consistent, solid defending throughout and winning infinite turnovers and a strong, balanced lean.
I want to wish capitan Deb a speedy recovery after her shocking foul play from the opposition. You did well to get up after that!
Well done Queens, hot game, onto the next! 🏐👑🖤
