Aces 40 – 27 Blossomfield Bees
In hot conditions yesterday, Aces showed true composure to secure a well-earned win in what turned out to be a more mentally demanding game.
We started strong, with sharp passes and solid shooting giving us the lead early on. The second quarter continued nicely as we read the opposition’s game well, anticipating their moves and capitalising on their mistakes. Interceptions at crucial moments helped us maintain our lead as all defenders worked tirelessly to shut down passes. The mid-court and attacking players created seamless transitions adding to the score and putting pressure on the opposition’s strong defence.
The third quarter brought a shift in tempo as Blossomfield Bees decided to focus more on making it a mental game rather than physical. It made for a tense quarter, but a timely team talk reminded us to keep our heads up, stay positive, and simply enjoy the match. A few smiles and encouraging words later, and we were back in control ready for yet another win.
The match proved a great example of teamwork, mental toughness, and perseverance!
