MATCH REPORT
Aces vs OB bullets
43 – 30
What a game aces had tonight it can only be described at WOW…..🤩
In my personal opinion I think it was one of the best games we’ve played every player gelled and all dynamics worked today we really came through as a team!
Our attacking combos consisting on Gemma and grace communicating well with one another to lead us ahead in the first Q with some great balls into the D from Izzy and Chloe. Overheads where very sparse due to tall defenders which made for great movement around the D. Into the second Q Chloe H was thrown into the mix helping defend through centre court and by waving our hands like we just don’t care!!! And dropping back to pick up players. Q 3 & 4 saw us switch our shooting combo around to Chloe and Gemma again great moment around the D to create space for one another. Shooting was on point today from all three girlies! And support around the D from Chloe H and Izzy and Grace was always ball side. Some lovely quick passes from Grace Taylor as WA straight into her shooters!
Our Defense was insane today with Leah WoodLeah Wood being awarded captains player, the girls stuck to their players like glue today reading off one another to pick up each other players blocking out with their bodies. It got a bit scrappy at times but Leah, Katie, Pippa and Grace C kept their heads and composure. All four girls were tipping and following the ball and springing out from behind their players to gain the awesome intercepts. We always love abit of hand holding from Katie and Leah as well 🤪. Pressure from Katie, Grace C and Pippa on those centre passes causing OB to pass back their ball which made for some good marking again always our hands in the air forcing those balls over and gaining possession. Defence read the game very well today. Defence played the ball down into attack beautifully today playing through our position speeding up at times but gaining composure and keeping passes nice and simple.
Our positivity princess Izzy as Centre today always cheering her team on. First time balls on the centre pass and following through for the second pass! Some amazing intercepts as she flys through the air. Great on the defence back line passes coming forward to assist and being ball side around the D for the shooters. ✨
Player of the match was awarded to Chloe Evans.
