👑 Queens 31 – 16 Droitwich Diamonds
Queens played a lovely game on Sunday with a style that is best described as being the tortoise rather than the hare. With new team dynamics, we’re still learning how everyone moves around court, predicting where our teammates will be, and understanding our different styles of play. However, as the game progressed and we began to grow in confidence, the flow down court went from strength to strength as we slowly took the edge over Droitwich.
The attacking trio of Amy, Tia and Zoe were a delight to watch. Against some very strong defenders, they kept their cool and kept working the ball around the D to find the best position to shoot. Combined with the magnificent Katie at C, I have no doubt that our attack’s positioning, movement out and around the circle, and space creating will rival Hearts/Aces/Clubs in no time!
Defence also had wonderful interceptions and rebounds throughout the game. Stacey, Beth and Fran worked tirelessly to provide back-up for the attack if a reset was required, and their quick, strong passes made it very hard for Droitwich to catch up with us. I rooted myself as GK for the match and seemed to have a good game as I was awarded Player! 🫣
Despite the veryyyy wet wintery conditions, Queens kept their cool, and their patience and perseverance won in the end.
I’m very excited to see what the future of Queens brings as we settle as a team, discover our strengths, and build in confidence! Well done ladies for a lovely match x
