Alcester 47- 56 Panthers
We had a strong start and definitely put the short game drills into practice from training! We had a small lead in the first quarter but with a tough defence on the centre pass, Panthers didn’t make things easy!
Laura, Pippa and Katia added good pressure in the defensive third and goal D with lots of tips and were able to collect on the rebound on many occasions! The overlap when bringing the ball up court was also really nice to watch and kept the game calmer than it has been previously.
Jodie played a great game in WD (not her usual position) and was able to stick really tight to her player, creating some forced errors! Jodie had a great attack and was able to get in front of her player, presenting to the feeder for a safe and reliable pass.
Natalie and Kate maintained the calm and short balls in the centre court and were able to pick up speed feeding into the goal third and circle which left Panthers defence scrambling!
Liv and I had good rotation in the D and Liv was able to draw the defence away on multiple occasions leaving a clear feed. Defence was super tight so rotation and movement in and out of the D helped us to lose and confuse Panthers! Supprt on the D was great and a fast feed meant we could capitalise on most centres!
Well done Laura for player, your movement around your player and reading of the game is so nice to watch from our end and it paid off in turnovers!
Everyone should be really proud of the game play despite the loss, we are all really taking on everything from training as well as Sarah’s post game advice!
We’ll ‘ave ’em next time! 💪
