Match report: Diamonds 08.09.24
Diamonds played Hotshots 2 on a wet and rainy Sunday morning, winning 28-18!
Q1 began well matched with both teams adjusting to the weather and the very slippery conditions. Despite this, passing was good and the team was able to move the ball around well with good interceptions and work it into the attacking D starting off the great shooting from both Chloe and Katie, despite some minor setbacks with the slippery ball.
Unfortunately, during Q2 the rain began to get heavier with passing and running for balls became a lot harder with none of us wanting to slip and cause an injury. However, an injury did unfortunately occur meaning brief changes had to be made to the attackers. This still didn’t stop the passing, especially Poppy M in the centre being able to move the ball really effectively around court.
Q3 saw some great interceptions from Edie and good work around and in the defending D, putting a lot of pressure on the shooters, however there was an slight increase in dropped passes and replaying, that had been a problem throughout the match, due to the wet conditions.
Q4 was not the best quarter with hotshots managing to move the ball around well and picking up more goals, however the team carried on with a good defence and won back some balls that were fed into the attacking D well giving the shooters good chances against the Hotshots defence who were working very hard against our shooters.
Well played first match of the season everyone!👏
