Hearts dodge those Raiders Bolts

Win for Hearts♥️🏆
Hearts secured a strong 62–44 victory over Raiders Bolts, delivering a confident and controlled performance across all areas of the court. The attacking circle worked with impressive fluidity, using a varied mix of passes to move the ball quickly and convert from each centre pass with ease. Raiders struggled to disrupt the smooth transition through court

In the centre court, Hearts controlled space, with clear channels and transitioned through court with speed. The team’s movement and vision through midcourt allowed them to dictate play and maintain momentum throughout the match.

Defensively, Hearts were equally sharp. They read the game brilliantly, picking off loose or misplaced balls and turning them into valuable turnovers. Their pressure and anticipation were crucial in widening the score margin.

The second half brought an unfortunate loss of a player for Raiders after a nasty finger dislocation. Despite being reduced to six players, they showed great resilience and continued to put up a strong fight, challenging Hearts right to the final whistle.

It was also great to have injured Jodie on the sidelines offering support, giving the team an extra boost. Shannon’s standout performance earned her Players’ Player, well-deserved for her consistency, speed and impact on court.

Overall, it was a composed, well-rounded display and a fully deserved win for Hearts
