Alcester Diamonds vs Redditch Pearls
Our final game!
Today we played Redditch Pearls for our last match as ‘Diamonds’! Prior to the game a collective bittersweet feeling was felt from the team. So many exciting things upcoming for us all – yet such a sad moment playing our last game.
Going into it, we all knew that we really wanted to finish with a win but previously only beating this team by 3 goals, we knew it was going to be a challenging game.
Q1 was a strong quarter from both teams with the scores being extremely close, but diamonds just edging the game, ahead by a couple of goals.
Q2 we saw some insane interceptions from defence, leading to many turnovers and great work through the court.
With Redditch becoming increasingly dominant and achieving some interceptions, Q3 saw us really working as a team to maintain our lead.
Our final quarter we aimed to play possession rather than strive for more and more goals. We also made use of the new rules and tactically used the rolling subs!
Overall an amazing performance from the entire team and a super fun game with the score finishing 37-30 to diamonds!
We finished our final game with lots and lots of cake, many photos (and even some tears from Alison!)
On behalf of Diamonds, I would like to say a HUUGGEEE thank you to Elaine, Alison & Sarah for all the hard work you’ve invested into the team to improve our play over the years, you’ve been the best! ❤️
